22 months is REALLY close to 2 years…

August 1, 2011 by Elaine

I don’t know what I thought it would be like to have a girl.  I knew it would be different of course but I didn’t know how different.  Meaning both that it’s a lot different in general and also, in so many ways. I do think we go easier on her sometimes because she’s a…

Baby Love – Rockin’ the Baby

July 10, 2011 by Elaine

We went to church with our friends this morning, while here in Texas. (Did I tell you the kids and I drove over for the week, without the Daddy part of our family? Yeah, we did…) As we sat down I noticed the tiny newborn in the baby carrier in the pew in front of us.  She…

Hair Accessories for Her & Me – Coco Penny

June 20, 2011 by Elaine

A few weeks ago I tweeted that I was looking for some new hair accessories for K to wear in her hair.  I had some cute ones from an Etsy shop but many of them have come unglued and I wasn’t too happy with the quality. Thankfully, Tracy was there for me.  She does have…

“Dank Oooh!”

April 1, 2011 by Elaine

That’s K’s way of saying “Thank You”. It’s the cutest thing on the planet.  She’ll say it after I give her something.  And then sometimes I say “kiss” and she pursers her lips and I lay one on her and then she smiles and says, “Dank Oooh!” Okay, maybe THAT’S the cutest thing on the…

Warmth – You Capture

February 17, 2011 by Elaine

Me and the little girl found ourselves outside for a bit this afternoon. Although it was pretty cloudy it was lovely outside and perfect for exploring. And the sun peaked out a few times, gracing us with its WARMTH.

16 Months and 10 Days

February 11, 2011 by Elaine

 She wanders into the pantry and points her little baby girl finger up to the shelves. She makes eye contact with me and says “NACK?!” Kinda like her brother used to around this age. I know what she wants so I reach into the box to get one for her whereupon a big smile spreads…

Better Days – WW

January 19, 2011 by Elaine

When she got up yesterday morning her eyes were red all around and half closed.  Which is somewhat normal for me.  But not her.  She was HOT.  Which she’s usually NOT.  She coughed a little. I thought maybe it was a 24 hour thing but I should have known better.  She was worse this morning….

Sew…… {WW}

January 12, 2011 by Elaine

Note: before reading this post, just so you know, all things in fancy brackets are the REAL me coming out.  Tim got me a sewing machine for Christmas… per my request. {WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?} I decided to start on my first project last week while people were sick, etc. {WHAT THE HELL WAS I…

Can We Even Classify These as Pig Tails? – WW

November 17, 2010 by Elaine

I’m not really sure how she got so big. Or how her hair got sort of long enough. Where did my little bundle go? Where did the baby go that spoke nary a word but now says “bye bye” and “nigh nigh” and “ba ba” as she toddles around? The “baby” that now smiles with…

You Capture -Photographer’s Choice

September 16, 2010 by Elaine

I feel so lucky to get to spend every day with my sweet girl. I considered putting her in some type of Mother’s Day Out starting this month. So much so that I even put her on the waiting list. But truth be told, I’m glad they didn’t have a spot open up. And maybe…
