Just One Year Ago

January 31, 2010 by Elaine

Today was the day last year that we found out we would be parents for the third time. We were a little surprised at the time but of course we wouldn’t have it any other way. Our sweet Katie is a joy and light that God knew we needed. And we thank Him for her…

Three And Half Months

January 15, 2010 by Elaine

She’s smiling like crazy. She needs the paci to settle down at night. She’s sorta getting a schedule. (especially in the mornings). She’s outgrowing clothes. She’s babbling and cooing a lot. She’s sleeping through the night. (God bless her!) She enjoys her play mat on the floor. She’s not as fond of the bumbo chair….

A Proper Goodbye

January 12, 2010 by Elaine

For some reason I don’t feel like a gave a good enough nod to 2009 here on the blog, or even in my own mind. Here we are almost two weeks into the new year and I feel as if I still need to do so. When I think back on it I realize that…

Happy Happy Happy!

January 1, 2010 by Elaine

We had a fun night last night. We went out to the home of a co-worker of Tim’s for dinner and a fireworks show (presented by Tim). They made us some awesome Louisiana-style brisket and crawfish. After I ate it I found out how much butter was in the crawfish dish. Don’t ask. Our hosts…

WW – Two Months

December 2, 2009 by Elaine

Two months since you first came into my life Two months that I’ve been on this mommy/daughter ‘high’ Two months since…

Is There a Two and Half Year Old in Da House?

November 23, 2009 by Elaine

Oh Good Golly IS there! And this particular one is QUITE a handful these days. I think even he would admit it. Many times when we address him in a stern way he replies “YesSir!” to all of us. Meaning Me, Tim AND The B Man. He’s frequently in time out lately for hitting, kicking…

Let’s Recap

November 9, 2009 by Elaine

Our night out on Friday to celebrate our anniversary was quite lovely. We left the boys in the extremely capable hands of our sweet neighbors (a grandparent-like couple) and I knew it when she took Baby K right out of Tim’s hands and started to coo over her. Not that anyone in their right mind…

A Decade

November 6, 2009 by Elaine

Today, Friday November 6th 2009 marks mine and Tim’s 10th wedding anniversary. An entire decade of wedded bliss. Did I just say bliss? Okay, I know what y’all are thinking, certainly it hasn’t ALL been that fantastic. And of course you are right. Marriage is wonderful but it’s hard and challenging and even though I…

ANOTHER First Day

September 10, 2009 by Elaine

Forget the fact that I forgot to take Little G’s picture until AFTER his first day of school was over. Ok, the actual day wasn’t over but his ‘first day’ was. And it technically wasn’t even a day since they started with just a half day and he only went until noon (normal schedule will…
