Play time

July 26, 2012 by Elaine

I got my big girl camera out today.  It felt so nice to caress its black plastic again and adjust settings and click the pretty silver button. Oh my. Anyway, K and I decided to redecorate Dora’s casa and then G crashed our party. So I took some pictures.  And now my Nikon isn’t nearly…

I’m no Tiger Mom.

July 25, 2012 by Elaine

We’ve slipped into this routine of being late this Summer.  And I know it’s going to hurt oh-so-bad when we have to jump head first back into being on time.  On a schedule.  No dinner at 6:30 or 7.  No bed time at 9. I fear lots of headaches in a couple of weeks, for…

What Up Cuz?

July 12, 2012 by Elaine

My children spent a ton of time with their cousins in Austin earlier this week.  From trips to the park across from my parents’ house to races up and down the sidewalk to getting rained out at a quarry splash pad, they had a great time.  I’m so happy they get to spend time like…

4th Fun

July 5, 2012 by Elaine

We had a good 4th. Tim actually had the entire day off of work.  I heard and saw a few complaints about the holiday falling in the middle of the week but for me, I thought it was awesome.  It was SO nice to have Tim home and for us to all be together on…

A day early and a couple of milkshakes short…

July 4, 2012 by Elaine

Monday morning I woke up much earlier than usual to go to the gym before the kids were up and before Tim had to leave for work.  This is not something I do often but with the kids all out of school I figured it’s a good plan some days. As usual, K was in…

Time together & MEM

June 25, 2012 by Elaine

I was alone for a couple of hours today and what did I do…? Tim took the boys and a friend to see Madagascar 3 and K was napping at the same time so I had a little time to myself.  Time to start one load of laundry and check people’s FB posts and start…

2 years ago…

June 23, 2012 by Elaine

Some people think I take too many pictures.  Perhaps “some people” are my husband or the lady who looked at me funny while on vacation a couple of weeks ago, taking a photo of my daiquiri. What? It was GOOOD. But I truly believe that photos give us a glimpse back in time that our minds…

Our Own Photoshoot

June 20, 2012 by Elaine

The last night we were in Florida it was threatening to storm, which would of course be the same night we had planned to do photos on the beach. Of course. (I know I already said that). About the time we were getting ready it was literally pouring.  And then?  By the time we drove…

At the water

June 14, 2012 by Elaine

On Sunday the water on the Emerald Coast was just as it should be, colored in the beautiful blues and greens that it is notorious for.  I could have lounged in my beach chair for the entire day but some dogone kids wanted lunch and needed to rest, blah, blah, blah. It was nothing short…

Four Little Men & A Little Lady

June 6, 2012 by Elaine

This photo makes an enourmous smile come to my face.  We are having a blast on vacation. I hope you all are having a wonderful week too.
