Distractions

February 1, 2010 by Elaine

I feel like I’m constantly distracted. I feel like other people are constantly distracted. On any given day while my husband is talking to me during dinner after he has just walked in the door 5 minutes ago and I’m bribing the 2 year old with the promise of dessert to eat his vegetables and…

Just One Year Ago

January 31, 2010 by Elaine

Today was the day last year that we found out we would be parents for the third time. We were a little surprised at the time but of course we wouldn’t have it any other way. Our sweet Katie is a joy and light that God knew we needed. And we thank Him for her…

Just Cuz

January 30, 2010 by Elaine

Sometimes I start to tear up when I see her face. Like right now. I just had to post this picture because I love it and HER so much. P.S. Larger picture is thanks to One Crafty Mama and her tip on how to change the size. Thank You So much Michelle! : )

PSF – Uh Oh, It’s Started! (Honey, Don’t Read This)

January 29, 2010 by Elaine

Dressing a girl is a WHOLE new ballgame. Or maybe just ball (as in “gala”). Tights, bows, SHOES, dresses, SHOES. I was somewhat inspired by this post by Steph and realized I hadn’t visited the local resale establishment since Baby K was just a wee babe (looking for Halloween costumes at the time). For Shame….

WW – My Three

January 27, 2010 by Elaine

My three children are growing up right before my very eyes. (I know, I can hear you saying it, “Well of course they are, Elaine, that’s what children do!”) I registered The B Man for soccer last weekend. Little G uses the word “actually” correctly. Baby K smiles hugely as I come toward her to…

Three And Half Months

January 15, 2010 by Elaine

She’s smiling like crazy. She needs the paci to settle down at night. She’s sorta getting a schedule. (especially in the mornings). She’s outgrowing clothes. She’s babbling and cooing a lot. She’s sleeping through the night. (God bless her!) She enjoys her play mat on the floor. She’s not as fond of the bumbo chair….

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….

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…

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…

WW – So, It’s a Little Big But Still Cute

December 30, 2009 by Elaine

My brother and his family sent this warm and cozy outfit for Baby K for Christmas. It’s a tad big but worked perfectly when we bundled her up for a walk the other day. I couldn’t resist snapping away… Oh the cuteness!
