Over the bayou and through the woods to the zoo we go…

November 30, 2011 by Elaine

Some photos I took during our outing to the zoo last week… The photo above would be perfect with a family in the center wouldn’t it?  I can’t stop looking for great places to take pictures of people since I started doing so. 🙂 Just a few seconds after I took this photo this Llama…

Falling

November 9, 2011 by Elaine

SO much going on this week in my head, my heart, my life.  So… just pictures.  All pics taken with my new iPhone 4S, which I think is pretty darn awesome.

Pumpkins & Chickens & Toothless Grins. Oh My!

October 19, 2011 by Elaine

Since the kids were out of school on Monday for Fall break we made two trips to the “pumpkin patch” (a.k.a. local Methodist church that sells pumpkins for mission fundraisers) on Monday. Or I guess you could say one interrupted trip – with a visit to Target in between. This is what happens when you…

You Capture – Summertime

July 14, 2011 by Elaine

To me, summertime means going to special places and doing extra special things. Like hanging out at LegoLand, for instance. The boys and I had a fabulous time with our friends (K hung out with Tim’s mom while we went), even though we had to wait a bit to get in (God bless the genius…

I can sew & forage for my own food so we’re good

June 15, 2011 by Elaine

I finally finished this dress for K Friday before last.  I had to call in help to get it done but at least I know my limitations, right? And, it has it’s imperfections (which thankfully you cannot see in this picture from my phone). And I plan to still add some ribbon and perhaps some extra notions…

Meeting Bloggers is so Much Fun!

May 23, 2011 by Elaine

This afternoon I traveled across the swollen Mississippi to meet up with my friend Katy as well as a few new blogging friends in Baton Rouge.  We met at a local restaurant and had a great time chatting and getting to know each other better.  And I was so happy to see Katy again before…

Park Date

March 2, 2011 by Elaine

“Baby” K (that name isn’t going to work much longer, is it?) turned 17 months old yesterday. We “celebrated” with a little trip to the park with our friends.  And snacks. And well, you know, Mardi Gras beads had to come along too… K has definitely entered the “language explosion” phase and pretty much every…

December 30, 2010 by Elaine

It’s technically still the holidays and these are some of my favorite shots that I took yesterday during our jaunt through the Baton Rouge zoo. It was a perfectly lovely day to visit bug the animals! Little G was a tad obssessesd with his copy of the zoo map that I had to replace 3…

New Orleans Part V, Last but Not Least

September 10, 2010 by Elaine

I had NO idea that it would take FIVE posts to cover a two-day trip to NOLA. Doesn’t that seem a tad excessive? (I know, “you said it Elaine!”) But I take A LOT of pictures these days and well, I like A LOT of the pictures I take. AND, this is my blog and…
