You Capture – Vehicles

July 15, 2010 by Elaine

I consider it QUITE timely that I happened to be visiting my parents when this week’s You Capture subject is VEHICLES. See… My Daddy likes trucks. And he inherited this really cool one that was my Grandfather’s (his Father in Law, my Mother’s Dad). It’s from the ’50’s… so in my opinion that makes it…

PSF – Time To Play

April 9, 2010 by Elaine

I had the idea to get something for the boys to play with out in the backyard. A “dual” birthday gift that would come in between their two birthdays (but for the time of year factor, MUCH closer to The B Man’s, since Little G’s isn’t until mid-May). So, we went to the local toy…

WW – Hand-Me-Downs

March 24, 2010 by Elaine

I recently cleaned out the boys’ closet, taking many things to the resale shop and to charity. I also bought some new clothes for them, especially The B Man, and a few things for Little G, although he’s mostly wearing The B Man’s hand-me-downs. When I switched out sizes for Little G the other day,…

You Capture – Faces

February 4, 2010 by Elaine

My Favorite Faces… I love them all but this last one is my favorite. I was in awe that he was still for that long for me to take this beautiful picture. P.S. I LOVE my camera. P.P.S. Yes, I know two of the pics are cut off on the sides. I tried the new…

Them Boys

January 13, 2010 by Elaine

It’s hard to get as much time as I’d like these days with my two sweet boys. Their baby sister takes precedence right now in many cases. But it must be said, they still have my heart. They will ALWAYS have my heart. I can still find matching sweaters for them and help them dress…

Thank You God For…

December 22, 2009 by Elaine

The boys and I pray together almost every night. Sometimes Tim does it instead but I’m pretty sure he’s not quite as thorough as I am so I like to do it myself. Plus it’s my snuggle time with my boys and I get to hear what they are thankful for each day. We begin…

PSF – My Plan, Thwarted

December 4, 2009 by Elaine

Last night I walked into the boys’ closet wondering what pajamas I could put on Little G. I spotted some “footie” jammies and looked at the size and saw 24 months. “Aw, these should work,” I thought. I was happy to put them on him because then he would not be able to reach down…

Halloween & A One Month Old

November 2, 2009 by Elaine

My boys have been wearing their Halloween costumes for what seems like 72 hours (is that three days? – forgive me, I’m the mother of an infant and well… uh… not so good at math). The B Man had a little program at school on Friday morning in which he recited two nursery rhymes and…

Do They Teach “Heart-String Pulling” in School?

September 29, 2009 by Elaine

Yesterday morning we all over-slept a little. The B Man (who really needs some time to play in the mornings before school) only had 25 minutes to eat breakfast, get dressed and get ready to go. Not good. Little G was ALL outta sorts because I was in a huge hurry (didn’t pack lunch the…
