The tulip house



My oldest daughter is convinced that we are the only family staying home for spring break, that surely we are the only people left here in Atlanta.
I'm not so sure why she was concerned....as she left Thursday for Cumberland Island & is staying in one of the former HGTV dream homes--sigh.
Well, we did have a nice spring break even if we stayed in Atlanta. Caroline got a way too cute little haircut. I think I've told you before she has a skin/hair/nails condition making her hair very very slow to grow. Her little bangs up top have never been cut. I snapped a few pics when we got home from the salon & just love how cute & stacked it is.
Who says I don't know how to have fun on spring break?
Last year I posted on our visit to one of the most gorgeous homes in Atlanta. The tulip house as we affectionately refer to it was featured in one of our home & garden tours. Its an older home in a very affluent part of downtown & it is breathtaking!


of course, we had a quick wardrobe change~
















I wish I had taken a panoramic view of the house for you to get a better idea of all the hundreds of tulips.









a little time for skipping....


I want to thank you for all the warm & thoughtful comments you have left over the last month. I must tell you Lil was just so tickled when I handed her 32 pages of printed comments & emails. Unfortunately the chemo they've given her has caused a tremendous amount of pain. She was admitted to the hospital yesterday to receive chemo over the weekend. Please know how very much the prayers & notes you sent her have given her hope & encouragement.


thank you thank you

  1. Oh Paige - LOL - Ian was exactly the same this week! Everyone is at the beach :D Well, not everyone!

    Those images are stunning! Li Li and I are going to one of those "special" houses in Midtown next week for a look-see and you can bet I'll have my camera for some impromptu images :D I just can't believe how stunning the tulips are this year!

    Ladybug hugs,

  2. I LOVE the haircut! She is so beautiful. The pictures of her skipping are so sweet:) I'm keeping your mother in law in my prayers. Definitely share those pictures with her. I bet they will make her forget about the pain, even for a few moments.

  3. What I love about you and your family is that you take time for precious moments and you always capture them beautifully in pictures. I love the one of Dan and Caroline walking hand in hand. Precious Darling! Thanks for the update on Lil and I will keep her health and joy tucked in prayers. Next year would Savannah let us come along to the previous "HGTV Dream Home"...smile!

  8. Love tulips and Love the tulip house pictures - Where is that? Wondered if you and Dan made it to Roswell this weekend to shop and if not, this Thursday is Alive After 5! They do it every third Thursday of each month so if you don't get there this week...Please, please stop in April Mi and introduce yourself! I'd love to meet you and play the name game with you and your husband! Oh...and I don't think I ever told you but I think the store you are thinking of with the sugarboo frames is probably Olive and Fig. I got one of mine there. Also, LOVE her haircut! Precious!
