Beautiful Eyes – i heart faces

August 15, 2011 by Elaine

I took this shot of K when I first got my 50mm lens.  It’s one of my very faves and pretty fitting for i heart faces this week, dontcha think? It’s kinda like she’s looking down into my soul.  So intense for a baby girl.  Also?  Makes me wanna kiss my computer. πŸ™‚ i heart…

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…

Sibling Sweetness

July 27, 2011 by Elaine

Sometimes I wonder what my children’s relationships with each other will be like when they are adults.  I hope they all continue to love one another and are close no matter what happens in the future.  I even kinda hope that they have little secrets and inside jokes that even Tim and I don’t know…

just an ordinary day…

July 1, 2011 by Elaine

This morning I found four June bugs belly-up on the windowsill in the kitchen. It’s a long windowsill that sits below some of my favorite windows to look out.  I had this silly thought that perhaps they were dying because June was almost over.  Kind of sounds like something my 7-year old might come up with,…

June 22, 2011 by Elaine

After I got this video up and running The B Man watched it and said, “Mommy! It’s like Kay-Kay can read!!  Did you buy her ‘Your Baby Can Read’?!  That’s amazing!” Oh son, we are SO cutting down on how much time you spend watching the cartoon channel. Sorry. Anyway, here’s a cute video of…

I can sew & forage for my own food so we’re good

June 15, 2011 by Elaine

I finally finished this dress for K Friday before last.  I had to call in help to get it done but at least I know my limitations, right? And, it has it’s imperfections (which thankfully you cannot see in this picture from my phone). And I plan to still add some ribbon and perhaps some extra notions…

Finding Flowers

June 9, 2011 by Elaine

I like to photograph flowers every chance I get and I find them in lots of places… Such as my MIL’s backyard.   I loved this one is color too but only posting the b&w because well, I love it the most. Also found in her backyard… I really like flowers that have lots of…

So here we are at 20 months and 5 days.

June 6, 2011 by Elaine

I could sense Baby K walking into the kitchen one morning last week as I sat checking my email in the next room (the living room, that is).  Things got WAY too quiet and within a minute she had used her counter-height eating chair to climb up on the counter and was STANDING on top of it….

Oh So Pretty

May 26, 2011 by Elaine

I think the concept of “pretty” is something that is overrated. And blown up in our minds. Do you know what I mean?  We have this idea of “pretty” in our head as humans, for humans, and it just isn’t cut and dry. I see pretty things EVERY day in my life.  They are everywhere….

She was busy…

May 18, 2011 by Elaine

…playing with the “old school” sprinkler system out front. This girl LOVES water. She could play in a cup of water with an ice cube in it all afternoon. Or a sprinkler thingy.  She’s fine with that too… (all pics SOOC) Linking up for Wordful Wednesday too, yo.
