It’s the Little Things…

July 22, 2009 by Elaine

The boys and I went to a local outdoor farmer’s market this morning. The B Man tried his first plum (I’m not a fan so I’ve never offered them up before) and we found a watermelon that was YELLOW on the inside. Me no likey. Nevermind that it was mealy on the inside, but yellow?…

Photostory Friday – Perfect Timing

June 26, 2009 by Elaine

As I walked around the house with the supervisor for the foundation repair project, inspecting the job his crew had done, I noticed some clouds rolling in. All of the sudden it wasn’t as sweltering hot as it had been all day. Most of the work had to be done at the back of the…

The Good, The Bad and The UGH.

June 19, 2009 by Elaine

I’m actually going to start with the UGH part, just to get it out of the way. The house, is suckin’ the life outta me. The one I’ve written a post to profess my love for (but haven’t published yet). The one we are currently living in and need to sell in a so-so market….

Friends Are Friends Forever…

June 18, 2009 by Elaine

… even if you move away, right? Say “right.” Right now, say “right.” K, thanks. Sorry for being so forceful but I need your help here. In the last week I’ve spent some quality time with my girlfriends that I’ve had since college, early marriage and since having children. These woman mean so VERY MUCH…

This Gestating Thing is Hard…

May 29, 2009 by Elaine

….Well, with 2 other kids anyway. I seem to hit a wall around 3 p.m. every day and I’m just TIRED, like more tired than I’ve ever been in my life. I mean I ran a 5K and still wasn’t this tired (ok, I walked some, but you know what I mean) I admit, I…

An Awesome Reunion

May 26, 2009 by Elaine

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day. Ours was pretty good. Tim made some of his famous barbeque (well it’s famous with our family and close friends anyway…) and we hung out playing the Wii and well, eating… My friend Claudia made some fantastic banana pudding and I want to thank her for leaving…

We’re on the Move!

May 25, 2009 by Elaine

Tim and I had this view this weekend. We had a night together alone in a hotel, a wonderful steak dinner and LOTS of time to talk. Our round trip took us to Lafayette, LA. No, it wasn’t technically a “romantic getaway” but more of a trip with a mission. Why, you may ask…. Because…….

Yes Sir, That’s My Baby! (girl…)

May 22, 2009 by Elaine

I walked in the room, layed on the table and exposed my belly. Then the cold gel. My heart started to beat really fast as I thought “This woman is about to tell me if I’m going to have another baby boy or if I will get to have a daughter.”My husband likes to talk…

Some Rambling with a side of …. blah, blah, blah

May 5, 2009 by Elaine

I have a lot going on in my head right now. Some of it I will spill right here, right now and some of it I’m not quite ready to divulge yet. This post is going to be a little “rambly” but right now I feel I need to type some of it out here,…
