Gifted

August 19, 2011 by Elaine

Last night, while playing in Baby K’s room with the kids, I suddenly found myself describing (in basic terms) to The B Man how babies are born. He knows that my belly was cut open and “sewn” back together when his younger brother and sister were born so he assumed that he was born the…

A food tower, a handmade dress and a 2nd grader…

August 17, 2011 by Elaine

You like random right? Good, ’cause that’s what you get today. This was part of my lunch the other day  Don’t you want to eat it?  I want to eat it again but alas, I have no mozzarella. Phooey. If food could talk this food would say “I’m really delicious, you must eat me now!” I…

Sibling Sweetness

July 27, 2011 by Elaine

Sometimes I wonder what my children’s relationships with each other will be like when they are adults.  I hope they all continue to love one another and are close no matter what happens in the future.  I even kinda hope that they have little secrets and inside jokes that even Tim and I don’t know…

Water – i heart faces

July 26, 2011 by Elaine

I just love this boy and his passion for the ocean.  It reminds me of me when I was a kid. He was even brave enough to go back in the water after hearing about a little girl that got stung by a jellyfish.  Perhaps more brave than me. Ahem. I also love this shot…

First Time Mom Moment

July 26, 2011 by Elaine

I cleared it with my boss to leave a little early that day. I was excited to pick up my little guy and go to my favorite store. We needed to get a birthday present as well as a few other things. Perhaps I also needed a caffeinated beverage from the in-store Starbucks… Happy as…

From a Distance – i heart faces

June 6, 2011 by Elaine

I took my boy to the plant nursery one day to help me shop for flowers.  Good thing, otherwise I’m not sure who would have pulled the wagon… 😉 Of course I love all my kids but I also love spending one-on-one time with each of them and this was one of those special times……

Missing Things

May 31, 2011 by Elaine

You know that old saying that you don’t miss something until it’s gone? Well, my oldest is currently hanging out with his Mother Bear (what the kids call Tim’s Mom) this week and guess what?  I miss him. It’s been less than 24 hours since I gave him a hug goodbye.  Then he eagerly jumped…

On to 2nd

May 20, 2011 by Elaine

I went to The B Man’s 1st grade, end-of-year program this morning. And cried while we all said The Pledge. It always gets me. Memories of my own time in elementary school plus all those little voices saying those words while placing their small hands over their hearts…. Yeah, you try not to cry. 😉…
