Random at its Best

September 25, 2009 by Elaine

Watching Grey’s makes me want to visit Seattle, and Oregon and Boston and Maine and Chicago (again) and Montana and Niagra Falls and Toronto and all kinds of other North American places I have yet to go or have visited too briefly. Don’t ask me why, it just does. Does anyone else visualize themselves “picking…

Sonograms are Better Nowadays, Right?

September 22, 2009 by Elaine

I’ve been wrapped up in expecting a girl. The clothes, the bows, the PINK, the polka dots (I love me some polka dots!), the idea of dressing MY child in a DRESS and it being well, APPROPRIATE. I went to our new dentist this morning and the hygienist (who’s probably in her early ’50’s) felt…

Boys ‘N Belly

September 14, 2009 by Elaine

I’ve had the idea for a while that I wanted some professional ‘belly pics’ during this pregnancy. I’ve never had any done before and this time I wanted to do it, if possible. I had my photographer picked out (because she’s awesome and she’s photographed our family twice in the past) until……We moved. Once we…

ANOTHER First Day

September 10, 2009 by Elaine

Forget the fact that I forgot to take Little G’s picture until AFTER his first day of school was over. Ok, the actual day wasn’t over but his ‘first day’ was. And it technically wasn’t even a day since they started with just a half day and he only went until noon (normal schedule will…

And the Milestones Just Keep on Comin’

September 3, 2009 by Elaine

I’ve been sort of agonizing over what kind of bed to get for Little G. Until yesterday. I made what we call in our family “an executive decision,” and bought one in the morning and it was delivered before lunch time was over. Done. I love it when I finally make up my mind. Although…

Weekly Winners – July 12

July 12, 2009 by Elaine

July 5th – July 11th We drove down to a little town called Bayou Vista on Thursday and the boys had some fun at a spray park there. We had to cross the bridge to get to another town, Morgan City, where we ate lunch at a diner with some really tasty rolls. And the…

Bloom Where You Are Planted

July 7, 2009 by Elaine

When I was in my late teens/early twenties I LOVED the illustrations and sentiments of Mary Engelbreit’s work. I used to buy her yearly desk calendars and then cut out the pictures and make cards out of them. I guess that was sort of the beginning of my scrapbooking/card making days. One of the illustrations…

The Good, The Bad and The UGH.

June 19, 2009 by Elaine

I’m actually going to start with the UGH part, just to get it out of the way. The house, is suckin’ the life outta me. The one I’ve written a post to profess my love for (but haven’t published yet). The one we are currently living in and need to sell in a so-so market….
