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…

June 28, 2009 by Elaine

Last night was our last night in this house as a family. When we bought this house The B Man was only 6 months old. We moved from a 1200 square foot two-story town home to over 2200 square feet on one level and we were in heaven. (hangin’ out in the room that would…

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…….
