You Capture – Letters

April 23, 2009 by Elaine

This is my first week to join the You Capture carnival hosted at I Should Be Folding Laundry. This week the theme is “Letters” which I interpreted a few different ways. My first photo is of a letter we received from the child that we sponsor through Compassion International, Casbert. This was the letter that…

WW – Fever, Cute Shorts & Snuggles

April 22, 2009 by Elaine

Little G was sickly yesterday. I kept him home from “school” due to a fever and an understandable grumpy disposition. Plus, I figured he’d get a better nap here at home. In the morning he seemed better but by the late afternoon his temp was around 101.5 and he was just NOT happy. He didn’t…

So Tuesday’s Tribute has moved from Jay’s place to Angie’s since Jay is taking some sort of blogging break. I miss you already my bald friend. But of course Angie is a wonderful and gracious hostess herself and where the tribute goes, I shall follow! My tribute comes in triplicate this week so here goes….

Who’s That Girl?

April 20, 2009 by Elaine

We had the pleasure of meeting this sweet little child, Rosemary, yesterday. Isn’t she just a full plate of precious-ness? She’s the daughter of Tim’s cousin Fred and his wife Amy. I only got a few minutes to nuzzle her (she was quite happy playing on the floor with her toys) and it did give…

April 18, 2009 by Elaine

This weekend I am participating in the Random Picture Challenge hosted by 4 Little Men & Girly Twins. I love this because you get to look at pictures from the past and when I saw what this one turned out to be, I just had to post it. 2008, 13th Folder, picture #42 Here is…

PSF – I Love It All

April 17, 2009 by Elaine

I can’t decide which is my favorite part about this picture. Maybe it’s the sweet grey eyes or little button nose. Or, the dirty little boy face or the fine blond hair in disarray or even the shirt that says “You can’t catch me.” Maybe it’s the way that I did “catch him”, with my…

You know you are a mom when…The sequel

April 16, 2009 by Elaine

Last week my bloggy friend Kristen did a post entitled “You know you are a mom when…” and I thought it was such a cute and funny concept that I asked if I could continue the list from my perspective. So, here’s my “You know you are a mom when”s… – You have to say…

WW – Art That Touched My Heart

April 15, 2009 by Elaine

Last night The B Man drew this picture and dictated the words of his original “short” story to me. It says, “One day baby decided to go to the park. He talked to his Daddy, his Daddy said yes and he brought his two babies to the park and they played & played & played.”…

Tuesday’s Tribute – Time Wasted. Patience Tested.

April 14, 2009 by Elaine

This week I am participating in Jay & Deb’s Tuesday’s Tribute. And although I am usually a pretty positive person, today is not so positive. Just warning you. Once upon a time I was in a hurry (which happens a lot by the way) and had just 30 minutes before I needed to pick up…

Easter, in an Eggshell

April 13, 2009 by Elaine

We had a lovely Easter weekend that included wonderful home-cooked meals, family, chocolate, cupcakes, egg hunting, churchin’ and well, rain. When I woke up around 5 a.m. to hear the torrentual down-pour on my windows I just knew there would be nary an outdoor egg hunt for us Sunday. But I was wrong. The sun…
