No.

July 10, 2009 by Elaine

Last night Tim walked into the living room from the kitchen and he asked me if I was starting to feel like this was home. I broke down. The answer was “No.” Yes, this new-to-us house has all of our things in it. Yes, my three boys are here and my girl kicks enthusiastically in…

Simple Shoes – A Review & Something For You!

July 9, 2009 by Elaine

In the midst of the big move I was contacted by Simple Shoes to review a pair of shoes from their new Toddler Collection that launches today! Nothing could have cheered me up more. We know I’ve been a little obsessed with baby/kid shoes lately so this was just about the most perfect thing that…

WW – At 27 Weeks…

July 8, 2009 by Elaine

… I have a pointy belly and I’m waddling. Yes folks. Waddling. I caught myself doing some duck-like walking down the hallway today and I tried to adjust to a regular gait but it just didn’t happen. My back is killing me on the lower right side and I bought one of those belly belts…

Bloom Where You Are Planted

July 7, 2009 by Elaine

When I was in my late teens/early twenties I LOVED the illustrations and sentiments of Mary Engelbreit’s work. I used to buy her yearly desk calendars and then cut out the pictures and make cards out of them. I guess that was sort of the beginning of my scrapbooking/card making days. One of the illustrations…

So… Yeah…We’re Really Doing This Thing

July 3, 2009 by Elaine

Who’s tired of me talking about moving? I know I am. But, here we go again. Yesterday was mine and the boys’ last FULL day in Texas. We are hittin’ the road after lunch today. I went to check on things at the “old” house yesterday (yes, there’s still work being done there) and I…

Out With the Old, In With the New

July 2, 2009 by Elaine

I got my hair CUT and colored today. I’m pregnant. We are moving. My old house is empty. The contents of my new house sit in a trailer somewhere in Louisiana. My ankles are SWOL-LEN! BIG change is upon us. A new house. A new baby GIRL. A new group of friends. A new church….

WW – The View From Above

July 1, 2009 by Elaine

(click to enlarge) How many children can you find in this picture? And how many babies with Nun chucks (is that how you spell it?) ? This is the view from the “bridge” in our friends’ house and as you can see the Wii and scattered toys are the only things helping to keep us…

Tuesday Tid-bits

June 30, 2009 by Elaine

* Some strangers packed up all our stuff yesterday. But according to my husband, they were nice strangers. The boys and I are staying away from the chaos that is packing up a home and we are currently living with our good friends until our departure on Friday. Our oldest boys are good friends and…

Saying Goodbye to Our First House

June 28, 2009 by Elaine

Last night was our last night in this house as a family. When we bought this house The B Man was only 6 months old. We moved from a 1200 square foot two-story town home to over 2200 square feet on one level and we were in heaven. (hangin’ out in the room that would…

Photostory Friday – Perfect Timing

June 26, 2009 by Elaine

As I walked around the house with the supervisor for the foundation repair project, inspecting the job his crew had done, I noticed some clouds rolling in. All of the sudden it wasn’t as sweltering hot as it had been all day. Most of the work had to be done at the back of the…
