Stolen Moments

August 19, 2008 by Elaine

I grabbed you up in my arms as your chubby baby hands reached up for me. One little tear was coming down your face. It was time. Time for you to sleep and be rejuvenated. We made our way into the hall that we walk down every morning while I made circles on your back…

Me & My Guy

August 11, 2008 by Elaine

Hannah tagged me for the meme about my man. What is his name? Tim Who eats more? He does. Who said, “I love you” first? I don’t really remember, but I think it was me or it was at the same time sort of. Obviously I don’t really recall. I remember it was pretty early…

Beachy Keen

August 8, 2008 by Elaine

So yes, the little vacation was wonderful, except perhaps for the late dinner at the Big Fisherman on Saturday night with FIVE kids… oh the memories! But besides that and the fact that I could have stayed a day or two longer, it was a great getaway. Little G was OBSESSED with the birds and…

Fish Tales

August 5, 2008 by Elaine

My Dad and Tim went fishing extremely early Friday morning while we were at the ocean. Since I stayed up every night until 1 am talking to my bro and my SIL, I was only asleep for a few hours when they got up to leave. God bless the boys for “sleeping in” a little…

I Just Wanna Go Back…

August 4, 2008 by Elaine

There are a TON of pictures to show and so many words that I need to spill out about our vacation but I can’t seem to wrap my head around it all yet. I think my brain is still at the beach even though I am not. So… here’s a couple of “best shots” and…

Ah Vacation – Just What I Needed…

August 1, 2008 by Elaine

I am sitting here wanting to post some pictures of our vacation so far and in the background my parents are discussing how to season the fresh fish that my dad and my husband caught this morning. There are a few kids running around, back and forth between our 2 condos and my husband is…

Wordless Wednesday #26 – Beach Memories

July 30, 2008 by Elaine

Sorry, this won’t be so “wordless” today. Below is a pic of me and The B Man on our last beach vacation almost 2 years ago (before I was even blogging!). Where does the time go?? Look how little my boy was!! And I sure wish I could find those sunglasses. But they are LONG…

Bound for the Beach!

July 28, 2008 by Elaine

So… we’re leaving for a much needed but way-too-short trip to the beach on Wednesday night and I am SO not prepared. I did do laundry today and sort of started packing. I always end up packing WAY too much stuff for a trip like this but this time our cargo space is somewhat limited…

The Story of How My Family Lied to me For Years

July 18, 2008 by Elaine

When I was growing up we had dogs. The first dog I remember (ok, don’t really remember him but have seen pictures, does that count?) was named Pepper and he was some sort of Dachshund mix. He died when I was three. Then we got Chester. He was a Beagle. Every.bit. a beagle. They bark…

13 Months, 26 Days, 8 Hours and some minutes…

July 11, 2008 by Elaine

It occured to me today that I haven’t written about my “baby” lately. Tragic, I know. Seems like after that one-year mark we tend to be more lax about documenting those special and fun moments and I decided that I have to continue because really, how else will I remember them? Little G will be…
