Mini Vacay

Lucy and I took a mini vacation this week by accompanying Joe to Chattanooga for a convention he attended. While he was working, we spent time with my family, which was really nice. We stayed at the Marriott at the Chattanooga Trade and Convention Center, which was a really nice hotel. The beds were *so* comfortable, and Lucy particularly loved them. Lucy also enjoyed watching cartoons. And in the morning, she made sure to check out the day’s news. I was hoping to do more with Lucy, like taking her to Coolidge Park, but it was just too cold....

Hair Ideas

January 9, 2010 in Life

Lucy’s First Snowfall

January 8, 2010 in Life, Lucy, Parenting, Weather

We got snow here in North Georgia yesterday. It was just a dusting, but it was still nice to see it falling yesterday afternoon. Most of the school systems in metro Atlanta were closed today because of icy roads. Our road wasn’t bad, but...

January 7, 2010 in Life, Lucy, Parenting
