I found out I was pregnant with Little G while we were on vacation in Florida in early September of 2006. Tim says he knew I was pregnant a few weeks earlier when we went to see my nephew who was born very premature. I was acting a tad erratic (a.k.a b!tchy) and emotional. Don’t…
Fastest party planner in the South!
I imagine Emily Post rolled over in her grave last week when I invited everyone to The B Man’s last-minute birthday party via email and text. Even I was a tad mortified. But I knew it was “now or never” on the party and since we were no longer traveling to Austin for the half…
At 2:47 p.m. he’ll be 8
Remember those commercials from a couple of years ago that said at the end, “A baby changes everything“? There is so very much truth to that statement. My life was forever changed the minute my Benjamin was born. just a few days old And now that he is eight years old I am getting to…
No running for now, right? Right.
I sat on the vinyl table with the sterile, crinkly paper as he said it. “No running for at least a week and no half marathon.” “No half marathon…?” I echoed his words. “Nope, you’re not properly trained anyway, right?” Right. And there it was, the new doctor, who I liked a lot, said what…
“One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” won the Academy Award the year I was born.
Today I am 37 years old. What a strange number, right? Totally not divisible by anything. That has always bugged me about any number, frankly. No idea why. I just do not like odd numbers in general, even though I was born in an odd-numbered year. And getting older means that you tend to ramble…
Longest Birthday Party Post EVAH! (K’s Party Pics!)
Katie’s birthday party went really well and was so fun! It turned out just like I wanted it to (except for, perhaps, the runny cake frosting but it was still extremely delicious so I consider that a success…). I knew I wanted to do an ice cream themed party and on a whim I called…
My Photos of K – Miss Elaine-ous Monday
I like to take photographs. Especially of my adorable kids. (yes, I am biased) I consider myself a photographer, but an amateur one. I always had someone else take pictures of the boys for their big milestones. But now, I’m taking them myself. I think I captured my two-year old pretty well. And here’s a…
OhMyGoodness, TWO!
As of tomorrow, Baby K will be 2. I have a little party planned at the local ice cream parlor and I’m so excited for the sundaes and smiles and fun and the cuteness that is sure to ensue. But of course I’m also reflective on the last last two years and how my baby…
Dino-FOUR!
It was really hot and humid here on Friday. But then, on Saturday morning as Tim and I chatted up the folks setting up the party bounce house, I realized how nice it was out. The Outdoor Party Gods (meaning the big man Himself) smiled down on us and granted us THE. PERFECT. weather for…
Happy (early) Birthday to my Little G (it’s on Sunday)!!!
When Little G was born we bonded pretty quickly. He nursed like a champ before we left the hospital and because I did not return to work after his birth, we were always together. I still feel a certain bond to him that is somewhat indescribable. At four years old he is a fierce snuggler…
