Love and Prayers for Haiti

January 19, 2010 by Elaine

As I click around my little corner of the blogo-sphere this week I feel like I’m about the only person who hasn’t said something about the tragic earthquake in Haiti. It’s not that I don’t know it happened and it’s certainly NOT that I don’t feel for the people of that nation and pray for…

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…

Laughter That Makes Tea Come Out of Your Nose

November 24, 2009 by Elaine

As we approach the holidays I’ve been thinking about my family. And when I say “my family” I mean my parents and my brothers. The people I grew up with, the ones who raised me and that I was raised with. I cried like a child earlier at the preview episode of the show Find…

Playing “House” (forgive me if it’s a little rambly…)

November 5, 2009 by Elaine

Do you remember when we were little girls and we used to play “house?” (well except for the few men that may read my blog, you probably were busy playing G.I. Joe or some crap…but us girls, we played ‘house.’) Looking back now, I kinda wish I’d played something else more. Like what I’m not…

Every Child…

March 13, 2009 by Elaine

Every child should be able to do this…. …or have the opportunity to do this… …or even do this if they feel so inclined… I say all this because I believe it. And my new friend Jay is doing a wonderful thing for kids who may not get the chance to do these things. PLEASE…

Overheard

August 12, 2008 by Elaine

Current random quotes from the 4-year old that resides within these walls.(I am just quoting people-if only you could hear the inflection in some of these…if only…) 1. I made this rainbow for you. It’s one of my many masterpieces. 2. Mommy you’ve gotta come here and see this – it’s so TALL! (you’ll just…

Our Very Own Super Hero

July 8, 2008 by Elaine

I am not sure if I should be typing this now, as I may risk “outing” one 4-year-old Super Hero, also known as Super Squeaky. Yes folks, he may be in your neighborhood “saving the day,” well…uh… any day now. So… watch out as you walk your dogs, take your kids to the park or…

Summer Vacation Carnival!

June 16, 2008 by Elaine

The summer vacation was pretty much a given in my family while I was growing up. Every year Daddy would take a week or so off from work and we would drive somewhere, whether it be Colorado, California or even the Texas coast. My parents would load up the truck and camper with all the…

BSM – Boys Playing Together

June 2, 2008 by Elaine

Tim made The B Man a fort this weekend and when Little G woke up from his nap, he wanted in on the action too. Here they are together, inside their little “house.” The theme this week is something magical and well, I think it’s just that when I see them play together now –…
