The other day I went to Target to pick up a few a lot of things and I was alone (I KNOW!!) since my babysitter was hanging with the kiddos. You know how it is when you go shopping alone (if you’re a parent), you’re just SO much more relaxed when the only person you have…
Take The Long Way Home
My oldest kiddo went to sleep-away camp for the first time last week. He was dropped off by Tim while I was on my way home from BlogHer. That wasn’t a really fun feeling, by the way – your kid being dropped off to somewhere they have never been before whilst you get to miss…
So This Was Christmas
It is not often that you see a rainbow and a potential pot of gold in December but see it we did, as the kids and I headed to Texas for Christmas. Don’t worry, Tim met us there after his weekend of hunting… As you’ll see in the photos below, a wonderful time…
Grandparent Gifts & Miss Elaine-ous Monday
My parents were here over the weekend and do you know that I did not manage to get one picture of them? I know. I was going to try and get a few photos of them with the kids on Saturday but it just never worked out… We did not do much while they were…
First Communion Forgetfulness & MEM
I just have to say it is a good thing that God knows we make mistakes because I COMPLETELY forgot about the Friday night rehearsal for The B Man’s First Communion. Thankfully he had already practiced his reading, as well as how to line up and receive the host, the previous Sunday at the retreat they…
Neck Ties & Flash Drives, Oh My! {Happy Father’s Day}
The two little kids made Tim some neck tie art while at the nursery during church this morning. I find it kind of funny since Tim rarely wears a neck tie these days. And I’m guessing that he’s not the only Dad that doesn’t frequently sport one anymore. Ties are just so… tight. I wouldn’t…
The Food of My People
Do you ever wonder where you came from? I’m not talking about the big, HUGE Oh My Goodness, where did I COME FROM??? I’m talking about ancestry. I know all my ‘peeps’ originated in the Slovakian area of Europe, many from what is now called the Czech Republic. I know this because my parents told…
Blogging Lite
I’ll be givin’ the ole blog a bit of a break this week. The kids and I are doing the “Mommy drives all three kids by herself to Texas” gig again on our way to celebrate my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary this Saturday. Aren’t they sweet? (that cake looks REALLY good right now…) This is…
WW – 50 Years! Wow.
These are my parents. (one of my very favorite photos of them that I took in 1991 on one of our many vacations together) In about three and half weeks we will join them for a big party to celebrate their marriage of 50 years. 50 Years! Wow. But there’s a little problem. (mom or…
WW – Looking in the Background
I presume my father took these pictures of me. A series of three snapped when i was probably about 9 or 10 months old. My Dad has always enjoyed photography and after going through several boxes of photos at my parents’ house over the summer, I found many shots like these. However, I never found…
