Before Tim and I had children of our own, we enjoyed holidays and other family times with our nieces and nephews (mostly on my side, since they lived the closest). My brothers have 8 children amongst them and the oldest is now 18. Christmas was always fun to watch them open their gifts and to…
WW – When I Used to “Work”
I’ve been having memories in the last couple of days of when I used to work outside the home after The B Man was born. Perhaps because I have another little baby and can’t even imagine having to leave her soon… I went for my six week post-op check up at the doctor on Monday…
WW – Halloween (Past) Edition
For The B Man’s first Halloween we were gifted with this awesome chicken costume from Tim’s Dad and his wife, Diane. She worked for Old Navy at the time and despite being a little big, I think it “fit” him quite well. I even had professional pictures done of him in it and sent out…
Just A Reminder
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…
On Family Resemblence
When I was younger I used to think I looked exactly like my father. I had lighter hair and skin like him and my relatives on his side of the family. I would look at the two of my three brothers who also showed many of the same features and find it odd that my…
Out With the Old, In With the New
I got my hair CUT and colored today. I’m pregnant. We are moving. My old house is empty. The contents of my new house sit in a trailer somewhere in Louisiana. My ankles are SWOL-LEN! BIG change is upon us. A new house. A new baby GIRL. A new group of friends. A new church….
i heart faces – Let’s Hear It For The Boys!
Theme: Let’s Hear It For The Boys! In honor of Father’s Day this week i heart faces’ theme is all about the males in our lives. This is one of my very favorite pictures of the boys, taken back when Little G was around 9 months old and The B man was almost 4. I…
Texas, My Texas
As we prepare to leave the great state of Texas for who knows how long, I’m pondering what a BIG deal it really is to me. I’ve lived somewhere in Texas since I was a wee 16th month old. All the big things that have happened in my life have happened within in these borders….
i heart faces – Happy Birthday!
This week the theme for i heart faces is “Happy Birthday!” Once I saw this on a couple of other blogs I remembered a favorite picture of mine from The B Man’s first birthday. He had a little fever the night before and the morning of his party but he was still a trooper and…
WW – I Keep Making U-Turns Down Memory Lane
Apparently I am into pictures from the past this week (referring to yesterday’s post as well…). But, my “baby” is going to be two on Friday and I couldn’t help but think of this picture. He was about 2 weeks old and I had actually put a little make-up on and asked Tim to take…
