Beaucoup de Chiens

February 16, 2012 by Elaine

Have you ever seen such a beautiful Queen? Yep, that’s right, Mardi Gras is already in full swing here in Cajun Country and my living room is littered with the cheap, colorful beads and other crap “throws” to prove it.  When we move from here someday, parades will NEVER be the same for my kids.  EVER….

Three on the Fourth (again)

February 4, 2012 by Elaine

I cannot seem to take my monthly pic of my THREE on the third. The 4th seems to be our magic day. Although not sure anyone would call this *magic*. They like to play on my bed.  And I had just a moment to capture them all before they split and were on to something…

Pretty sure Winter just skipped us this year…

February 2, 2012 by Elaine

You would have NO idea that Spring is still seven weeks away if you ventured on to my street. The Japanese magnolias are in full force And the azaleas are starting to pop out already too! But it still looks like winter in some ways… Except across the street at my neighbors, where the tulips…

Funky Town

January 26, 2012 by Elaine

Do you just ever feel like your life is on “repeat”?  Sort of like that movie “Groundhog Day”? he’s tickling her face. gah, they’re cute. I’ve kinda felt that way lately. Wake up. Feed kids. Drop off kids. Run. Grocery shop. Feed kids. Run (other errands). Compute (which encompasses many things…). Laundry. Pick up kids. Feed…

Thank goodness I have LOTS of photos…

January 24, 2012 by Elaine

She’s growing up.  Already. Yeah I know, she’s only a little over two (2 years and 3.8 months to be exact) but when she’s your last?  You kinda wish she could be a baby forever. Maybe this is why I have yet to give potty training a real “go” or I am hesitant to completely pull the…

Just Flowers

January 19, 2012 by Elaine

Our winters are warm here. They just are.  The temps usually only get below freezing 2 or 3 times each year. Which I’m really fine with.  Our weather lately has been more like early Spring or late Fall.  65 to 70 degrees?  Yeah. And as a bonus we have these beautiful camellia bushes all around…

Life is Messy

January 18, 2012 by Elaine

Her face is rarely clean. In order for it to be I would have to chase her around the house with a wet wipe or wash cloth.  ALL. DAY. LONG. So instead I just take a lot of photos like this. But it’s okay because those baby blues seem to overshadow the messiness and she…

The A.M.

January 11, 2012 by Elaine

The day actually starts pretty lax around here but I attribute that to the fact that I currently have only one child in full-time school.  I’m thinking next year might be a different story once G starts Kindergarten (ACK, G will start K next year!!) but I hope it can stay this way. The little…

Newborns are From Heaven (but a tad hard to photograph)

January 6, 2012 by Elaine

My good friend here in town had her third baby boy a few days before Christmas and he is just the sweetest thing.  But then aren’t all babies, fresh from Heaven?  Oh yes, they SO are. You may remember I took some maternity shots for her several weeks ago (scroll down to bottom of post)….
