Just A Reminder

August 28, 2009 by Elaine

This is a little video of The B Man (my first baby who is now almost through with 2 weeks of Kindergarten) when he was a day old. It has no sound so don’t think that you are losing it (your ability to hear, that is) when you don’t hear anything. I just had to…

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?).

You Capture – Motion

August 13, 2009 by Elaine

Kids are always moving so once I saw topic for this week’s You Capture, I figured that’s what would be in my pics, if I got around to taking any. I honestly don’t really know how to use my camera for the best “motion” picture,s as you’ll probably be able to tell from the couple…

Blabbin’ ‘Bout the Boys

June 1, 2009 by Elaine

I presume in a few months that my blog posts may become a little girly-centric for a while so I thought I would give the boys their fair share of “air time” before their sister arrives. And well, they are really fun and cute right now, so there’s that. The B Man This child talks…
