Thank God It’s Over

June 19, 2008 by Elaine

I had a bad day yesterday. A little background would be good, right? Something that hasn’t been in my life for almost 2 years came back Wednesday night. Let’s just say between being pregnant for 9 + months and nursing for 13 now, “this” just hadn’t returned. Until now. And it’s here with a vengence….

In Honor of My Two Favorite Fathers

June 13, 2008 by Elaine

Just a little something for Father’s Day weekend… I always knew that my father was a little older than the other kids’ dads. Not because he acted it, just because I knew his age. As a matter of fact, he didn’t “act” it at all. He was 42 when I was born, but he could…

Here’s to the New Kids

June 10, 2008 by Elaine

Sometimes on my short drive home from church I go through the neighborhood and pass by the elementary school that my boys will attend if we continue to live in this house (no plans to move now, but you never know for sure). This Sunday I did just that. As I passed by I thought…

BSM – Perfectly Imperfect

June 9, 2008 by Elaine

Here are some shots I took of Little G on Saturday. He has a great time climbimg on the little bench in his room. These are not perfect because they are blurry but they are still cute and to me they show the movement (what now seems to be CONSTANT movement!) of my little guy….
