We took the dogs out for a little run in the snow. They loved it but came back soaking wet and quite smelly!
Kolle is trying to teach Charkee how to make a snowball!Short video of them playing.

Amanda's Snow Pictures
The snow finally made it to Atlanta around noon today. Amanda was beginning to wonder if they were going to get any. Here's some pictures she sent me.
Amanda, Walker, and SnowMan

The flamingos were a little lonesome and wanted some company!
Hey, where is that wierd white girl with the pink lips?

Just a day ago we were enjoying the beach and sunshine and now its cold and snowing. Yes, snowing in Central GA!
Big Snow in Thomaston, GA 
Charkee, Bubba Joe, & Kolle checking out the snow! 
Our woods during the big snow!
Charkee says, "Let me inside! I hate this wet, cold stuff!" 
Kolle says, "I'm having a blast at the beach!"
" What are we doing out in this mess? "
" We love the beach more!"Friday, February 27, 2009
“If you are lucky enough to be at the beach…you’re lucky enough…”
“If you are lucky enough to be at the beach…you’re lucky enough…”Alice has this saying painted in the outside shower at her beach house and I love it! Each time we visit her place I feel like I’ve been granted a special gift! If only she knew how much a visit to the beach seems to revive me and gives me a new outlook on life! While I truly love my job, it is very stressful and being able to get away every month or so helps so much!
I love getting up in the mornings and taking the pups for a walk. However, on this trip, Charkee had different ideas of what a “walk” meant. She played her “Sally Mae Mule” impersonation and did not indulge me on my long walks. She wanted to walk only long enough to” take care of business”and then she was ready to go back and jump in bed with her daddy. No matter how hard I tried, she was not going to walk farther than she wanted to. On the other hand, Kolle was game for anything. If I had asked her to walk forever, she would have done it. That dog loves the beach! She is the ultimate “beach bum”!

Children's HealthCare of Atlanta - Amanda's Employer
Amanda sent me the following release and I wanted to share it. I think Amanda is very lucky to be working at Children's.
I’m pleased to let you know that, for the fourth year in a row, Fortune magazine has recognized Children’s as one of America’s “100 Best Companies to Work For.”
Children’s is one of three companies with headquarters in Georgia selected and the highest ranked pediatric hospital on the list. Landing at No. 67, Children’s also received special recognition for being a top company for women, placing fourth in a sub-category for percentage of women. In addition, Children's was ranked as having the 17th most diverse workforce.
Fortune evaluated organizations from across the country—more than 81,000 employees from 353 companies responded to the survey nationwide—to identify the top 100 companies for this list. One of the world’s top business magazines, Fortune measured Children’s against some of the most well-known, highly respected brands and companies in America, including Microsoft, Publix Super Markets and Google.
Right on the heels of our Parents magazine ranking, this recognition reinforces that Children’s is a great place for kids and a great place to work. We are proud to be acknowledged as the kind of place where people with strength and passion for their jobs can do what they love to do—give that special kind of care to the patients and families we serve—and thrive in the kind of environment that helps them be all they can be both personally and professionally.

Three Dogs
Three Dogs
All the pups in the Mills’ household
Are pampered and live the life of royalty.
They dine from fine designer bowls
Filled with morsels to enhance their beauty!
All three canines are very high maintenance
Requiring trips every six weeks to Bark Avenue.
Getting their locks and nails snipped in our absence
Returning home to flaunt their new “DO”!
Kolle thinks she is Marie Sharapova
Chasing tennis balls with a vengeance.
Bringing them back to Doug over and over
As he continues to throw them into the distance!
Charkee believes she is Marion Jones
Sprinting like a greyhound around the grounds.
Daring the others to chase her into unknown zones
Before collapsing from her many rounds!
Kami thinks she’s Sherlock Holmes
Loving to run, sniff, explore, and dig.
Hoping to find one of her many bones
So she can chew on it like a little pig!
These little creatures love Cape San Blas
Running and romping in the water and sand.
Not worrying about the future or the past
Just enjoying the moment and thinking life’s grand!
