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.”…

WW – Oh Target, You Crack Me Up!

April 8, 2009 by Elaine

For some reason I find humor in many of the ads I see for Target in the various magazines to which I subscribe. Obviously they are catching my attention but it’s not like I need any more motivation to want to shop at their store. I mean really people, I should have stock. Okay, maybe…

WW – Capturing Moments

April 1, 2009 by Elaine

This past Monday I found myself outside with my boys in the late afternoon, taking pictures, playing “ball” and watching them eat their lollipops that I gave into, because well, I’m easy like that – what can I say? I was glad to have my camera near by when they both decided to sit in…

WW – The B Man at One

March 25, 2009 by Elaine

When The B Man was a year old a friend of a friend took pictures for us at a park in Dallas. We paid her $20 for the session and paid to develop the film ourselves. Did you catch that? FILM!! Who’s ever heard of such a thing? HA! Since we are getting close to…

WW – A Season of Forgiveness

March 4, 2009 by Elaine

The weather here in Texas can be so bipolar at this time of the year. One minute you’re wearing a sweater and jeans while the temps are dipping into the ’40s and the next day you’re taking the kids to the park and sweating. It’s truly crazy. I strolled outside on one of the warmer…

Wordful Wednesday – NACKS!

February 25, 2009 by Elaine

So, my youngest child (a.k.a Little G) is OBSESSED with these little fruit snacks that we buy at Costco and come in a jagnormous box of like 50 packets so that you seem to never run out. Below you will find a picture of him downing some of them and then there’s a little video…

WW – 7 Weeks + 1 Day

February 18, 2009 by Elaine

Sorry this picture is really blurry, but I think you get the gist! : ) I felt the need to take two tests just to make sure and since the digital one came “free” in the box with the other two, I figured I’d take it too and actually see the word “Pregnant.” And that…

WW – Looking in the Background

February 4, 2009 by Elaine

I presume my father took these pictures of me. A series of three snapped when i was probably about 9 or 10 months old. My Dad has always enjoyed photography and after going through several boxes of photos at my parents’ house over the summer, I found many shots like these. However, I never found…

WW – Fine Dining

January 28, 2009 by Elaine

There were many, MANY meals similar to those shown below, in this booster chair. I say “were” because thankfully, about the time I was completely tired of wiping it down, of anything from peas to applesauce to milk, he got tired of sitting in it and began to refuse last week. So it was good…

WW – Passing of the Torch

January 21, 2009 by Elaine

Yesterday was a really emotional day for me. I am not exactly sure why. I found myself blubbering at one point. I was glued to the t.v. during the inaguration ceremony and in awe at the crowds on the National Mall. Just thinking about it again makes me tear up. I think A LOT of…
