They smelled so good…

April 11, 2012 by Elaine

If you’re from central Texas, like me, then you know good and well what a Bluebonnet is.  If not, I’m sorry. 😀 On our way through my home state last Thursday, I was anxious to find a spot where the kids and I could stop and take a few pictures in a field full of…

On the Fourth of the Fourth Month

April 5, 2012 by Elaine

And so it goes that I did not get a picture of my kids on the third but yet again, the fourth of the month.  The universe must be trying to tell me we need a dog or something (since you know, no mo babies are comin’ outta this lady…).  Plus I was completely distracted…

PT stands for Pretty Tired.

March 29, 2012 by Elaine

So I started that PT for my ankle and it actually turns out my ENTIRE right side from lower back down is a tad messed up.  Who knew?  Apparently my right hip sits further forward than my left and that explains a lot of my issues. And this morning this physical therapist/chiropractor dude with big…

So this week’s been a little different

March 22, 2012 by Elaine

Sometimes things don’t always go as planned.  Especially when kids and erratic weather are involved. And that’s okay. Monday, Gav had a Trike-a-thon at school and even though he kept telling me he had a tummy ache before school, he still wanted to go.  He kept saying the night before, “The trike-a-thon is tomorrow, awesome…

Cheerio, Old Chap!

March 14, 2012 by Elaine

I think I’ve watched a bit too many Downton Abbey episodes lately, what do y’all think? (I’m almost caught up, 2 more episodes to go… I hear that last one is a zinger…) The little kids had a pre-lunch appetizer of milk and Cheerios the other day and I grabbed my camera because they had…

Not a lot

March 8, 2012 by Elaine

I do not have much to say today.  I’m kinda keeping on the down-low, like I said I would.  I even went to bed before 10 p.m. last night, which is TOTALLY unheard of most nights.  And by the way, 8.5 hours of sleep is pretty amazing.  For body and soul. Here’s just a few favorite…

This mother of three should really know by now that 2 year-olds don’t stand still, right?

March 7, 2012 by Elaine

Taking photos of kids is pretty hard.  Especially when it is your own and especially when they are not too keen on listening to you and just want to do their own thing.  BUT, you chose that moment in time to try to take their photo so you just snap away and do the best…

Flower Farming

March 1, 2012 by Elaine

When I was a little girl my maternal grandparents’ farm was a wildflower wonderland in the Spring.  I loved our trips there during that time of the year because I could break out through the back gate and find myself in an enormous field, full of greens and blues and reds and whites and yellows….

Behind door number one…

February 23, 2012 by Elaine

On the other side of that first door on the left there is a little girl, calling my name.  She is waiting for me to rescue her and provide a snack and some neck kisses and sweet hugs.  Not necessarily in that order. Her smile softens my heart on the daily and the sunshine in…

We love each other every day…

February 17, 2012 by Elaine

After spending a day and half in bed it was nice to get some fresh air. and Chocolates I may have eaten them ALL. (it wasn’t that big of a box…) (50% off the day AFTER Valentine’s, even sweeter) The hubby and I have dinner reservations for Saturday night. I’m crossing my fingers and toes…
