April 27 - The Tortoise and the Storm

We picked up our friend Caitlyn from school today. She had taken a box turtle in for show and tell, and the girls had fun playing with it in the back yard. At one point, they forgot about it, and it got away. It didn't get too far away, and they were able to find it after a fun, giggling search and rescue mission.

Due to our lack of a basement and my weather-related anxiety, we went to the Richters house for safety during the massive storms that were supposed to strike tonight. The girls had fun playing together and were oblivious to the potential danger of the storm.

Sadly, the storms turned out to be just as horrendous as predicted. Luckily for us, the path skirted the metro Atlanta area so we headed back home at about 3am.


On this day in 2008, Rick wore a sleepy baby Nellie in the Ergo.

On this day in 2009, the girls and I visited Ciera in her new apartment for her birthday.

In 2010, I took the girls to Fernbank.
