i heart faces – Hats!

May 5, 2009 by Elaine

This is one of my favorite pics of The B Man when he was a little over a year old. I just love his sweet face in this pic. Tim and I bought him this hat when we went to Florida on an “adult only” trip and it barely fit his head when we returned…

You Capture – JOY

April 30, 2009 by Elaine

When I was growing up we had a tattered little book that I assume originally belonged to my brothers (in other words, was around since the early ’60’s). It was a Peanuts book called “Happiness Is…” wherein it included several pages of what Charlie Brown and his friends felt “happiness” was all about. So, I’m…

WW – Tex Rex Takes on Dora’s Casa

April 29, 2009 by Elaine

He came, he saw, he caused l’entertainment center to come down upon Dora and her Papa, he conquered, he left. It was all very fast and furious. I know there is no sound but trust me, that’s the way it went down. For more Wordful Wednesday visit Seven Clown Circus. For more Wordless Wednesday go…

This is an Equal Opportunity Blog

April 24, 2009 by Elaine

I kinda feel like it’s been “The Little G” show around here lately so I thought I would give The B Man some equal time. Because he’s pretty darn cute himself you know… A few weeks ago I gave him the little interview that’s gone around many a blog in the last few weeks and…

WW – Art That Touched My Heart

April 15, 2009 by Elaine

Last night The B Man drew this picture and dictated the words of his original “short” story to me. It says, “One day baby decided to go to the park. He talked to his Daddy, his Daddy said yes and he brought his two babies to the park and they played & played & played.”…

A Sugary B-day + A New Friend

April 3, 2009 by Elaine

So yesterday, my now five-year old started his day with whip cream and a candle on his pankcakes. Then he had frosted cookies to share at school. And for dessert? A VERY lop-sided giant cupcake. With green sprinkles. a.k.a The Leaning Tower of cupcake. It simply defies the laws of gravity, doesn’t it? Don’t worry,…

We Like to Live on the Wild Side

March 16, 2009 by Elaine

We’d planned a trip to Austin this weekend to see my pal Lisa but because I haven’t been feeling that well lately I pulled the plug on that idea and we stayed home. By the way, I promise to stop whining about how badly I’m feeling. Please don’t leave because of my complaining. It’s just…
