Monday Mumblings

August 10, 2009 by Elaine

My parents’ visit was good. For the most part we took it pretty easy. On Thursday The B Man had a swim lesson and we all swam together after. He’s doing really well and I’m so proud of his new underwater abilities. And even Little G LOVES to swim and is so cute in his…

Out And About in Chi-Town

July 28, 2009 by Elaine

On Friday afternoon Haley and I decided that we’d had enough of being cooped up in the hotel and hit the pavement. We may have missed a session or two of interest and I know I missed a few keynote speakers who read favorite posts that I kinda wished I’d heard (I didn’t know that’s…

We Like to Live on the Wild Side

March 16, 2009 by Elaine

We’d planned a trip to Austin this weekend to see my pal Lisa but because I haven’t been feeling that well lately I pulled the plug on that idea and we stayed home. By the way, I promise to stop whining about how badly I’m feeling. Please don’t leave because of my complaining. It’s just…

The BIG Dinner Re-cap!

March 2, 2009 by Elaine

There is SO much to say about Saturday night that I’m not sure where to start. I guess I should start by saying I had a GREAT time! And then there are my shoes. I wore these. I saw them at DSW the other day and just HAD to have them (still doing my part…

Weekly Winners 2/15

February 15, 2009 by Elaine

Februray 8 – February 14 Tim and I enjoyed the afternoon together (just the two of us) for Valentine’s Day. We went to the Dallas Museum of Art to see the exhibit on King Tut. It was amazing. We saw artifacts that are around 3400 years old. Amazing, beautiful, gold, wood and glass – spectacular…

Weekly Winners – 1/25

January 25, 2009 by Elaine

January 18 – 24 So in looking back over my “winners” for this week I’ve come to two conclusions. 1. My kids eat a lot. 2. When my kids eat, they are messy, as you will soon see. There are also a couple of other pictures thrown in for good measure. And because I like…

A Much Anticipated Trip

December 11, 2008 by Elaine

So the hubs and I are droppin’ the kids off in Austin on Friday morning so we can spend a weekend by ourselves for a belated anniversary celebration. That’s right folks. FORTY-EIGHT hours of kid-free bliss time! Plus, we are taking his car with a GPS this time, so there should be NO disagreements about…
