As the pictures in my last post show, we went to the zoo yesterday. In a city an hour away. We caravan-ed with some friends. We made it there and back safely. But I kinda wonder how. I did manage to pack snacks but forgot to fill the water bottle that stays in the car…
A “small” Christmas that still seemed “big”
While sitting at dinner on Christmas Eve I had a moment where I was so very thankful. After chasing Kay Kay around church and remembering the birth of our Lord, I looked around and saw my family and our lovely neighbors who treated us to dinner, and I was even thankful for the spilled glass…
If I’d written a Christmas letter this year, this it what it would say
Also known as, our year in review… The year started off colder than usual for Louisiana and in January I made a trip with the baby to meet up with Lisa in Houston. We ate cupcakes and shared some great “friend” time. It was a lovely little trip. In February we experienced our first Louisiana…
Breathless
Do you even just feel overwhelmed with all there is to get done? And then you feel overwhelmed by all the overwhelmed-ness? I hope I’m not the only one. Right now the thing that’s weighing on me most is Christmas shopping. I am not an early bird shopper and I used to LIKE to do…

Thanksgiving is evil…
I only say this because I gained a “few” pounds over the holiday. Yes, those quintessential “holiday heavies”. Maybe it had something to do with how much pie I ate (and enjoyed). Or the deep dish pizza Friday night. (yeah, I think I sent my carb-deprived body into shock with that one…or two… or three-ish…

Falling For Fall
I’ve always said that Spring is my favorite season. My birthday is in Spring, as well as both of the boys’. Flowers are blooming, the trees begin to green up and there’s just this sense of renewal in the air.Oh and Cadbury eggs. Enough said. But Fall has started to inch it’s way to the…
There she was. (A Birthday Post)
When I found out I was pregnant in January of 2009 it was a surprise. A really BIG surprise. Tim and I were actually a little shell-shocked for a few days. We would just look at each every few minutes like deer, caught in head lights. It’s not that I didn’t want another baby, I…
New Orleans Part V, Last but Not Least
I had NO idea that it would take FIVE posts to cover a two-day trip to NOLA. Doesn’t that seem a tad excessive? (I know, “you said it Elaine!”) But I take A LOT of pictures these days and well, I like A LOT of the pictures I take. AND, this is my blog and…
