More work, more school. Chloe hurt too much from her gym injury to go to gymnastics. Camille and Claire came home from play practice and worked on homework. Rob came home late, again.
photo friday: high falls friends
Rarely do we travel with friends, but when we do, the girls love it! Scheduling and planning is a bit more difficult, but well worth it.

red cross shelter drill
The past few months have been a bit chaotic. Holiday season, snow day after snow day and then winter break. As such, I have barely stayed caught up at work and fallen behind in all my other projects, including volunteering. I am frustrated that I’ve spent all this time on trainings and have done so…

A good day at the start with school and work. IN the afternoon I got Chloe out of school early to get a booster shot at her doctor’s office. We could see that 285 was already backed up. By the time we got out of the doctor, it was gridlock everywhere. Trying to get a…

walkable living
One of the reasons we chose to leave our beloved Pine Lake and move to downtown Decatur was for the walkability. While it is lovely to walk around Pine Lake on the many trails, it was almost impossible to walk anywhere other than the post office. While I don’t walk as often as I should,…
