Them Boys

January 13, 2010 by Elaine

It’s hard to get as much time as I’d like these days with my two sweet boys. Their baby sister takes precedence right now in many cases. But it must be said, they still have my heart. They will ALWAYS have my heart. I can still find matching sweaters for them and help them dress…

A Proper Goodbye

January 12, 2010 by Elaine

For some reason I don’t feel like a gave a good enough nod to 2009 here on the blog, or even in my own mind. Here we are almost two weeks into the new year and I feel as if I still need to do so. When I think back on it I realize that…

Will Travel for Sweets (& Friends!)

January 11, 2010 by Elaine

As I drove into the city with my sweet baby girl in tow (who was a FAB-U-LOUS traveler!) I almost started crying because I miss IT. I am TOTALLY a city girl. Not a country girl, not a kinda small town girl, but a CITY GIRL. Baby K was ready for our weekend of sweets….

My Outing Today, This Weekend and ANOTHER Blog

January 8, 2010 by Elaine

Let me set the scene for you: Three kids, including an infant IN an infant carrier. Toddler with “space & rockets” p.j.s and dirty socks. No shoes. Kindergartener still in school uniform and his coat (actually looking pretty good). Mom who decides on a whim that it’s a good idea to drive to a certain…

WW – Still Stylin’ After All These Years

January 7, 2010 by Elaine

The kitchen that Santa brought last Christmas (2008) is now in Baby K’s room and Little G, Baby K and I were all in her room playing this morning. She was in the crib laughing at her sunflower and he was “baking” me something. I suddenly remembered that I had a knitted sweater and matching…

So… I’m Fat

January 5, 2010 by Elaine

Okay, okay, I know, horrible title. But sometimes, the truth hurts. As I eluded to in yesterday’s post my clothes don’t fit. Also, when I was in the bath last night, I looked like I was still pregnant. And last time I checked, I’m NOT. I was on track, steadily losing weight UNTIL. The Holidays….

This, That and Whatever Else

January 3, 2010 by Elaine

Feeling kinda random today… I finally figured out which one is Burt and which one is Ernie (yes at age 34). Wanna know how? While watching Sesame Street the other day they had the characters’ first initials on their beds and I realized that Ernie is the one on the potty seat we have. Sesame…

Happy Happy Happy!

January 1, 2010 by Elaine

We had a fun night last night. We went out to the home of a co-worker of Tim’s for dinner and a fireworks show (presented by Tim). They made us some awesome Louisiana-style brisket and crawfish. After I ate it I found out how much butter was in the crawfish dish. Don’t ask. Our hosts…
