Out Like a Light – WW

July 13, 2011 by Elaine

This is our friend J who passed out on Monday night at our friend’s house, in the middle of his dinner.Literally.   His mother moved him shortly after this.  But only after we I was were done taking pictures…  I mean, DUH.  This might be a direct quote from someone you all know – “Wait,…

Patriotism – You Capture

July 7, 2011 by Elaine

I want our children to be proud to live in the this country but I think they are still a little young to understand the concept fully.  It’s just a pretty BIG thing to grasp when you really think about it.   I looked at Tim as we waited for the fireworks to begin (on…

My Three- The Beach Edition

June 29, 2011 by Elaine

We got home from our trip at a decent time today.  We didn’t feel too haggard and my lunch “on the road” at Panera Bread (which this town does not have. hmph.) was quite tasty.  Then we feasted on hot dogs (thank goodness we had SOMETHING in the fridge) and some of the sweetest corn…

Oh Where, Oh Where Have My Little Babies Gone?

June 10, 2011 by Elaine

I was standing at the sink rinsing dishes and putting them in the dishwasher yesterday, which is nothing out of the ordinary. But in one moment, as I was loading the kids forks and spoons, I was suddenly struck with the realization that I do not have any babies anymore.  At least not technically. Yes,…

Clean faces are SO overrated

May 11, 2011 by Elaine

Sometimes I get lazy with my mothering.  You know, I don’t always change a diaper the very MINUTE I smell the stink. I don’t wipe the highchair off after every third meal. Sometimes I get yet ANOTHER sippy cup out of the cupboard after I know 3 or 4 have already been used that day….

Walking Together

May 9, 2011 by Elaine

The kids and I walk basically the same route around our neighborhood in the afternoons or early evenings whenever the weather is nice enough (meaning not too hot or humid at this point).  The boys ride their bikes and I pull K in the green wagon as we make our way around the few familiar…

Long Distance Relationships (oh, and my Easter/road trip recap)

April 28, 2011 by Elaine

Sometimes I feel like I’m cheating on Texas with Louisiana. Like when I go back to my home state and remember why I love it so.  And then as I return to the place I call home for now, and the fast-moving car carries me back over the state line, it’s like some sort of sordid…

Spring-alicious!

April 20, 2011 by Elaine

I love spring so much that I wish I could bottle it up and take it with me everywhere. And since it doesn’t last that long here in our part of the country I mean that even more than you might think. I promise you summer (or at least the heat of it) is JUST…

Hey kids, come over here so I can take your picture!!

April 13, 2011 by Elaine

I’m trying to follow in the footsteps of the lovely Steph and take pics of my kids on the third of every month (she does the fourth since she has four kids, so that’s why I usually do the third, get it?).   I don’t always post them here but I take them.  Except for…

Ponies & Flowers – WW & You Capture

March 30, 2011 by Elaine

Some of our good friends had a super fun birthday party for their son and daughter with a “western” theme on Saturday.  Ponies and all. Have you ever seen a soccer playing Cowboy?  Well, now’s your chance! I mean it doesn’t get much better than that, now does it? 😀 (he had to miss part…
