camille – 18 jan 2011
The girls are both very happy to be back home and back to homeschooling! It had been a long time since they had done lessons that they were missing them…
cloudy – 17 jan 2011
Our last day in Fort Lauderdale was a cloudy, rainy one, but Chloe managed to sneak in some time at the pool anyway.
sunrise – 16 jan 2011
I love, love watching the sunrise at the beach! Amazing to watch the sky change every second…
chloe – 15 jan 2011
Chloe spent the entire day at the pool. I have the sunburnt face to prove it. At first she was bored, but then, she made friend after friend, kids and adults alike. I have no idea how she does it!
camille – 14 jan 2011
Once again, I couldn’t get the girls to a museum. It was pool, beach and (ugh) tv all day. Thankfully, mostly it was beach and pool. I even got to read half of my book while at the pool! I never want to leave. Days of work them beach and pool are my heart’s desire.
the ritz – 13 jan 2011
We spent the day working, at the pool, on the beach and exploring the strip near the hotel. When the wind picked up in the afternoon, it was quite chilly, but that didn’t stop Chloe from getting in the (heated) pool.
ocean view – 12 jan 2011
I had resigned myself to the fact that we would likely not be getting a room with an ocean view. I had convinced myself that an intrracoastal view would be quite interesting and good enough. So, my jaw dropped when the bellman opened the door to the room and I could see off over the
snow boating – 11 jan 2011
School (Dekalb County, Georgia Tech and our own homeschool) was cancelled again today. The girls headed out to play in the snow, then came in to pack for our trip. Rob took the kayak out on the slopes. It seems Rob took some video of Chloe sledding. And I “borrowed” this photo from our very
snowy chloe – 10 jan 2011
Thanks goodness for all of the wonderful snowy weather clothes we purchased last year for our trip to Steamboat! Snowpants, long underwear, snow boots and warm, warm socks all came in quite handy today for a full day of sledding on our street!
dumbledore – 9 jan 2011
On the days when I clean out the turtle’s cage, she gets to run around the house .. though she generally heads into the deepest corner of the kitchen. The freedom is overwhelming for her, I suppose.
tiles – 8 jan 2011
Chloe loves games; all kinds of games. Her new spelling abilities have opened up a whole new range of games to her. Though she still tries to get away with non-words often.
spring, please – 7 jan 2011
Not really. I don’t mind the chilly days very much. The days *are* getting longer, thankfully. And I am looking forward to six inches of snow this weekend. But I’m also on the lookout for signs of spring. I love those first blossoms after a drab winter.
our house – 6 jan 2011
Jan 6 is our day to take down the Christmas decorations …. the tree is on the curb, the decorations all gathered in the laundry room to be boxed up and put away for another year. But I’m not ready to give up my white lights … they bring a smile and comfort to me
grey day – 5 jan 2011
“Texting while operating a motor vehicle” may be illegal in Georgia, but I doubt that taking photos with an SLR is… I hate the texting law — I don’t text while driving (heck, I rarely text!), but the law prohibits me from checking the traffic map while I’m stopped on the interstate — STUPID LAW!
girls – 4 jan 2011
I worked during the morning, and the girls went to town with my mom during the afternoon. I realized, as it was getting dark out, that I hadn’t taken any photos yet … Here, the girls were watching Jeopardy on my mom’s computer (via Texas)…
girls – 3 jan 2011
A bit of a wild ride along (not on) the Tellico River in TN today. Icy roads, icky restrooms, incomplete maps, closed roads, hunters. No license plates or signs for Chloe to play the alphabet game. Two coughing girls (they both feel much better, just have a bit of a cough that’s not yet ready
silly string – 2 jan 2011
I had a hard time picking a favorite photo from today. I liked a lot of the photos form the series of photos I tool at the silly string silliness, but I didn’t love any of them. I wish I had a better eye, and I wished I had gotten more photos of Camille and
gazoo – 1 jan 2011
Gazoo is quite happy that we came home from Florida and has been sitting on me as much as possible… One of my resolutions for 2011 is to get more comfortable using my external flash, so I dusted it off and used it to take this photo.
