September 17, 2010 by Elaine

I’m having trouble with the school pick up line this year. Now mind you, I’m a “seasoned” parent since my kid is a FIRST-grader and I already did this rodeo last year. I know the routine people.

August 25, 2010 by Elaine

I’m not sure why I’m considering spending a decent amount of money on family portraits in a few weeks. The B Man did a fine job capturing our beautiful family himself. I mean it is quite possible that if we actually got together to take a photo that Tim would be clandestinely grabbing my boob…

It Was a Great FIRST Day!

August 18, 2009 by Elaine

The night before…. We chose and then laid out his school clothes (did I mention that I discovered there was a uniform-type dress code less than a week before school started?).

WW – Cute Kids & Wonderful Teachers!

May 27, 2009 by Elaine

Yesterday the boys had their end of the year program at preschool and it was so fun watching all the kids perform. They started with the 4 year olds (most of them now 5 of course!) and their “graduation.” I was actually quite glad that they were able to just wear their Sunday Best and…

August, I’m Already NOT Looking Forward to You

January 8, 2009 by Elaine
