So, the kids and I are leaving today for what I’m callin’ “The ‘Woah, I sure have packed our schedule full of activities and people to see in just one short week’ Tour of Texas Road Trip.” Did you get all that? Truly, I’m not sure what’s going to wear me out more – the…
Absent on a Snow Day
I have been contemplating a post in which I state that it takes about 7 months to get used to living in a new place… here’s my meager attempt. We’ve made some friends through Tim’s work and through the Moms Club I’ve joined. We now have about 3-4 babysitters we can call on (mostly teenage…
Emotional
I drove up close to the mailbox like I do almost every day after picking up The B Man from school. He rolled down his window, opened the box and grabbed up the envelopes and fliers. He handed them to me and I was happy to count seven Christmas cards amongst the pile and see…
Christmas Tour of Homes 2009
This year we are in a new home. It’s our first Christmas in Louisiana. It took us a while to figure out where the tree should go but we found a good spot. We’re still figuring out the stocking situation (in other words, I don’t have enough stocking holders) but the mantle looks pretty good…
You Capture – Sunrise, Sunset
This is often what it looks like from our backyard, which obviously faces West, at sunset. I adore the blue and pink. And the shadows of the trees and bushes. Oh and the fact that we have a screened-in porch in which to sit and watch this beautiful show… If you have some photos on…
You Capture – Autumn
This week’s You Capture focuses on pictures of things related to Autumn. A wonderful season, I must say. Although you wouldn’t really know that it’s Fall around here just by driving around. Everything is still quite green. I mean we are in the South so it’s par for the course… of course. However, if you…
The First Few Days…
(click to enlarge – welcome home sign made by The B Man – isn’t that the sweetest thing??) Well, we are home and things are going pretty well. Baby K is not all that into breastfeeding, unfortunately and today or tomorrow I plan to see a lactation consultant as well as try some things that…
WW – Proof that I can blog about something else besides being preggo & my HUGE swollen feet
I filled up this humming bird feeder a few weeks ago and it didn’t take them very long to find it. I took this picture 2 weeks ago and now it is empty! And I stalked these little buggars like crazy to get this picture, lemme tell ya! I just love that I can see…
Gates
Little G and I went for a quick walk around the block Saturday morning and I took my camera. There are some very beautiful homes in our current neighborhood and for some reason my lens gravitated toward the gates that we walked past. Guess I just thought they were kinda ‘perty.’ So, I thought I’d…
So, We’ve Been Here Long Enough Now…
… that I’m sorta getting used to all the rain. … that the garage door actually works correctly. We no longer have to hold the button down the ENTIRE time the door is going down, until it makes it to the cement ground. (okay, it’s been fixed for a few weeks now, but I still…
