I took a lot of pictures last year…

January 2, 2011 by Elaine

I mean A. LOT!!! The number is definitely in the thousands but I’m not sure how many exactly. It’s hard to sift through that many photos and choose favorites but I did it anyway (narrowing it down by choosing ones that I already had in a folder for the ole blog here…) I also updated…

“Mommy Brain” – It’s TOTALLY Real

December 31, 2010 by Elaine

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…

Holiday Favorites – You Capture

December 30, 2010 by Elaine

It’s technically still the holidays and these are some of my favorite shots that I took yesterday during our jaunt through the Baton Rouge zoo. It was a perfectly lovely day to visit bug the animals! Little G was a tad obssessesd with his copy of the zoo map that I had to replace 3…

A “small” Christmas that still seemed “big”

December 27, 2010 by Elaine

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…

Holiday Magic – You Capture

December 23, 2010 by Elaine

I’ve always thought there was a little MAGIC in all things small. Like fairies and leprechauns and well, when I was a little girl, even barbie shoes. Yes I know, I’m weird. I had a “Littles” doll house that I got one Christmas (I don’t think they make Littles anymore and the “baby” of the…

These are the Days – WW

December 22, 2010 by Elaine

We had friends over to decorate cookies today. Six boys and Baby K was the only girl. Needless to say after decorating and “downing” a few cookies it turned into full contact football wrestling in the back yard. But that’s okay, the weather was nice and boys got some energy out. But my favorite part…

Waiting for Santa and Dumb Mom’s Bright Smiles Holiday Photo Contest

December 15, 2010 by Elaine

We didn’t have to wait THAT long to see Santa Claus on Sunday. We got in line at 11:15 and Santa showed up around noon. While we waited for him to take his place at his “workshop” Tim took the kids to ride the carousel, they shared some cinnamon and sugar pretzel sticks from the…

Hey Santa!

December 14, 2010 by Elaine

Good, bad or indifferent, I don’t have a picture of my child/children with Santa Claus every year. For the first couple of years of The B Man’s life I guess it was just not that important to me/us. The first photo he has with Santa is pictured below. He was two and half. And, I…

O Christmas Tree

December 10, 2010 by Elaine

I always LOVED helping decorate the tree when I was growing up. My parents have this awesome star tree topper that lights up and has an angel in the middle. I adore it because it’s a star AND an angel. I’m hoping my mother will “gift” it to me someday. For now, we have a…

SWEET – You Capture

December 9, 2010 by Elaine

Snickerdoodle anyone? I made these SWEET morsels late Tuesday night for a MOMS club meeting on Wednesday morning. Thanks to @poobou and @lovingmom2boys for the idea on twitter (I asked what cookie I could make with “regular” ingredients on the fly and they both answered with “snickerdoodles” within seconds of each other – I love…
