WW – I Can’t Stop!

January 20, 2010 by Elaine

Ever since I got my new baby camera, I can’t stop taking pictures. The poor kids constantly have the camera in their face. Especially the baby girl. I’m not sure what she’s thinking in this one but I’m guessing it’s something to the effect of “Hey crazy lady could you possibly take that thing out…

Them Boys

January 13, 2010 by Elaine

It’s hard to get as much time as I’d like these days with my two sweet boys. Their baby sister takes precedence right now in many cases. But it must be said, they still have my heart. They will ALWAYS have my heart. I can still find matching sweaters for them and help them dress…

Picture Perfect

December 29, 2009 by Elaine

Simply said, we had a lovely Christmas. It was at our home and small and quiet (well unless you count the crazy noises that escaped from the 5 year old’s mouth when he saw that my mother had gotten him a zhu-zhu pet. Oh GAWD. But wait, that happened 2 days after so yeah, ACTUAL…

WW – A Place Where There Were Pumpkins

October 21, 2009 by Elaine

On Saturday we took the family to a local church that was hosting a little fall carnival and pumpkin “patch” (or as I say, pumpkin staging area…). They had a bounce house, bake sale, hot dogs, some farm animals to admire (no petting!) and a pumpkin decorating area. Oh and maze that was muddy but…

My Endorsement Post for Ceramic Floors While Raising Small Children (well except when they hit their heads on them…)

October 12, 2009 by Elaine

So. We were on our own come Friday afternoon when my parents drove away. Ok, done talking about that before the tears well up. Anywho. Saturday morning we had to go back to the hospital to do a blood draw on Baby K because her pediatrician was concerned about her billirubin levels (jaundice) and she…

A Giveaway – Darling Children’s Books!

September 15, 2009 by Elaine

We love books around here, especially books for babies and children (at least at this phase in our lives!). Tim is from a family of avid readers, book sellers, and his mother recently retired from her career as a children’ librarian. We’ve been lucky to be able to borrow many books from her and been…

WW – The View From Above

July 1, 2009 by Elaine

(click to enlarge) How many children can you find in this picture? And how many babies with Nun chucks (is that how you spell it?) ? This is the view from the “bridge” in our friends’ house and as you can see the Wii and scattered toys are the only things helping to keep us…
