She found a pencil

November 11, 2011 by Elaine

K wrote all over the tile floor in pink crayon yesterday.  She’s always had access to more things at a young age than the boys ever did.  We have this coloring/art table in the corner of our living room and she goes there a lot to draw (I use the term lightly).  But  this day…

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.

I know, you’ve had enough. But I still need to show you these…

November 2, 2011 by Elaine

So have you eaten enough candy and seen too many pictures of other’s people’s kids in Halloween costumes yet? Certainly not. C’mon, grab a couple more kit-kats and sit down and look at these photos. You can never have too many of either… right? 😀 A few sides notes:  That first shot is from G’s…

She’ll thank me later. Or something like that.

October 27, 2011 by Elaine

So, I decided yesterday morning that the paci has to go.  Except for when she sleeps. Baby steps. That means K has been sporting this face quite a bit, usually with tears included.  Though I’m happy that I can see her cute little mouth now, in all the photos I take. But today was REALLY…

Those Moments (i heart faces)

October 25, 2011 by Elaine

Our memories as mothers can be somewhat selective at times.  We try to remember the best of times.  The smiles and laughter at the zoo as the monkeys swing and entertain.  Or the deep sigh we take while our child peacefully sleeps with his or her head on our lap, as we stroke their soft…

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…

My Photos of K – Miss Elaine-ous Monday

October 3, 2011 by Elaine

I like to take photographs.  Especially of my adorable kids. (yes, I am biased) I consider myself a photographer, but an amateur one.  I always had someone else take pictures of the boys for their big milestones.   But now, I’m taking them myself.   I think I captured my two-year old pretty well.  And here’s a…

Pretty Pipes (I know, weird title)

September 22, 2011 by Elaine

I drove to the part of town today where I know they have industrial type stuff. And I found these. They are BIG.  I could have laid down in one, you know, if I’d wanted to. I didn’t.  I was wearing a dress.  And I’m pretty sure someone like the dudes walking around in hard…
