Behind door number one…

February 23, 2012 by Elaine

On the other side of that first door on the left there is a little girl, calling my name.  She is waiting for me to rescue her and provide a snack and some neck kisses and sweet hugs.  Not necessarily in that order. Her smile softens my heart on the daily and the sunshine in…

Pretty sure Winter just skipped us this year…

February 2, 2012 by Elaine

You would have NO idea that Spring is still seven weeks away if you ventured on to my street. The Japanese magnolias are in full force And the azaleas are starting to pop out already too! But it still looks like winter in some ways… Except across the street at my neighbors, where the tulips…

Funky Town

January 26, 2012 by Elaine

Do you just ever feel like your life is on “repeat”?  Sort of like that movie “Groundhog Day”? he’s tickling her face. gah, they’re cute. I’ve kinda felt that way lately. Wake up. Feed kids. Drop off kids. Run. Grocery shop. Feed kids. Run (other errands). Compute (which encompasses many things…). Laundry. Pick up kids. Feed…

The A.M.

January 11, 2012 by Elaine

The day actually starts pretty lax around here but I attribute that to the fact that I currently have only one child in full-time school.  I’m thinking next year might be a different story once G starts Kindergarten (ACK, G will start K next year!!) but I hope it can stay this way. The little…

There are beautiful people all around me!

December 1, 2011 by Elaine

I did a few photo sessions recently and since You Capture is all about PEOPLE, I’m sharing some of my favorites. I hope they make you smile.  I know they did so for me.  And yes, this photography thing is Super-dee-Duperdy fun. 🙂 My friend J’s kids…  How adorable and gorgeous are they?!?!? And my…

This or That

November 17, 2011 by Elaine

Back in May I met Deb at a little, local blogger get-together.  She’s a really sweet and fun-loving person and she takes amazing photographs. I was SO excited to see that she started this carnival called This or That Thursday some weeks ago, and knew that I would love to link up. Not only does…

Falling

November 9, 2011 by Elaine

SO much going on this week in my head, my heart, my life.  So… just pictures.  All pics taken with my new iPhone 4S, which I think is pretty darn awesome.

I know, you’ve had enough. But I still need to show you these…

November 2, 2011 by Elaine

So have you eaten enough candy and seen too many pictures of other’s people’s kids in Halloween costumes yet? Certainly not. C’mon, grab a couple more kit-kats and sit down and look at these photos. You can never have too many of either… right? 😀 A few sides notes:  That first shot is from G’s…

She’ll thank me later. Or something like that.

October 27, 2011 by Elaine

So, I decided yesterday morning that the paci has to go.  Except for when she sleeps. Baby steps. That means K has been sporting this face quite a bit, usually with tears included.  Though I’m happy that I can see her cute little mouth now, in all the photos I take. But today was REALLY…

Pumpkins & Chickens & Toothless Grins. Oh My!

October 19, 2011 by Elaine

Since the kids were out of school on Monday for Fall break we made two trips to the “pumpkin patch” (a.k.a. local Methodist church that sells pumpkins for mission fundraisers) on Monday. Or I guess you could say one interrupted trip – with a visit to Target in between. This is what happens when you…
