Were We in Europe?

September 7, 2010 by Elaine

I looked like a real tourist while we were visiting New Orleans. A tourist with three kids and a husband in tow. The first day we walked all the way from one end of the French Quarter to the other to get to a pizza place a friend had recommended. (It was called Louisiana Pizza…

You Capture – Mornings

September 2, 2010 by Elaine

Mornings start pretty early around here.Yesterday’s started at 5:58 a.m. Like I said, early. I do not wake up by alarm clock.. I usually wake up by hearing “WAAAAAAH!!” or “I gotta go potty!” or “can you turn the t.v. on?”. You can probably guess which child goes with which statement. So… in order to…

You Capture – Get Outside

August 26, 2010 by Elaine

A little trip to the zoo and a ride on the zoo train with “Mother Bear”… and some play time at the playground there as well. Checking out the animals (the ones that weren’t hiding in their ‘houses’ anyway…) The clouds were pretty. Some time playing by the ‘sprinkler ball’ in the yard. And a…

You Capture – Summer

August 5, 2010 by Elaine

We haven’t done anything very “Summery” this week. You know, unless you count hunkering down next to the A/C unit. Oh my, the HEAT!! Even the bugs are coming in to the house for a reprieve. (Note to BUGS: seriously, STAY OUT. You’re freakin’ out the boy children and the baby girl wants to eat…

On Tuesday it rained on and off all day. One hour the sun would be out and the next it would be dark, as the clouds rolled in again. I felt bad that the kids had been indoors all day.I suggested to the boys that they go out and play in the rain. The B…

You Capture – Black & White

July 22, 2010 by Elaine

When we celebrated my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary this weekend I was so happy and excited to remember that my mother had the forethought to include her original cake-topper (see a pic here) for the cake she ordered for their party. And I think it’s quite perfect for this photo to be in black and…

You Capture – Vehicles

July 15, 2010 by Elaine

I consider it QUITE timely that I happened to be visiting my parents when this week’s You Capture subject is VEHICLES. See… My Daddy likes trucks. And he inherited this really cool one that was my Grandfather’s (his Father in Law, my Mother’s Dad). It’s from the ’50’s… so in my opinion that makes it…

You Capture – Green

July 1, 2010 by Elaine

We haven’t been going outside as much lately. It rains a lot in the afternoons and the humidity is just stifling. I can be outside for just a minute and already feel the sweat beading on my forehead and forming underneath the back of my shirt. STIFLING I say. However, the other afternoon it wasn’t…

You Capture – At the WATER
