Who’s in Charge Here? Oh, Me!

May 29, 2008 by Elaine

So I had a moment today while I was vacuuming the den, making sure that all the glass was off of the floor from the broken snow globe, (I know, you have lots of questions after that statement – I will get to them later) when I started to wonder how I got here and…

Can You Say “Mama?”

May 27, 2008 by Elaine

Me: (smiling and poking at my chest) Can you say “Mama?” G: (smiling back and very proud) “DA!” Me: (still poking and trying to get the point across) “No, Mama.” G: (still quite happy with himself) DA! Me: “Say, MAH-MAH.” G: DaDa!! Me: (getting a little frustrated) “No, say ‘Mah-mah.’” G: (quiet now, looking at…

My Little G is ONE!

May 15, 2008 by Elaine

The moment I saw your face I was changed forever. The moment I kissed you my heart was overcome with joy. The moment you nursed the first time I was already proud. The moment you first smiled that dimpled smile, I simply melted. The moment I heard you begin to laugh I laughed too. The…

So Very Grateful

March 11, 2008 by Elaine

I thanked my husband last night for working so hard and making it so that I can now be home with my boys. See, it wasn’t always this way. I worked when The B Man was a baby, and at that time, I stood up for what I did. And I CONSTANTLY (every day when…

Mother’s Day, Every Day

June 3, 2007 by Elaine

Right now it seems like every day is Mother’s Day, or at least “Mothering” day. Oh, and it is and… even though it can have it’s moments of craziness and disorganization and true tiredness (is that a word?), it’s all worth it and simply makes my life more joyous and full! Tim is such a…
