While in New Orleans over the weekend we found our best transportation on Saturday to be the trolley train car system (that’s what we ended up calling it anyway). The boys were most excited to ride it, especially Little G. Our first ride was quite nice and just took us back and forth along part…
Terrifying
I had a terrifying dream the other night. It was one of those where you find yourself halfway between the dream and real life and knowing it’s just a dream, but still, you are sort of stuck there. I woke up crying in my bed, the morning light barely starting to show through the blinds….
You Capture – Mornings
Mornings start pretty early around here.Yesterday’s started at 5:58 a.m. Like I said, early. I do not wake up by alarm clock.. I usually wake up by hearing “WAAAAAAH!!” or “I gotta go potty!” or “can you turn the t.v. on?”. You can probably guess which child goes with which statement. So… in order to…
WW – So THIS is What 11 Months is Like. Yeah, I Remember Now.
Gah. Even my title is wordFUL. As you may have guessed from said title, Baby K is 11 months old today. I have NO comment on the fact that this means she will be a year old in 30 days. Well, I may have one… *sniff, sniff* Moving on… Somehow, it’s easy to forget how…
Past Post Parade – August
I started this idea because I like to peek into your archives and I personally think it’s great fun to go back and read other bloggers previous posts. So here’s how it goes: Link up to a post from August of last year or August of any previous year, depending on how long you’ve been…
And I think it’s going to rain today…
….but you really never know until the clouds are right over us and I start to hear the “tat tat tat” on the roof of the screened-in porch. We have no plans today, except maybe a quick trip to the grocery store. Between rain clouds, hopefully. I like “no plans” because then I don’t have…
I’ll Take the Good and the Bad
Some days I have time with my children where I want to cry “UNCLE!!!” really loudly and put a sign out in the front yard that says FREE KID(S) (you know, depending on how many are bugging me at the time). Some days I have time with my children where I am overwhelmed at how…
You Capture – Get Outside
A little trip to the zoo and a ride on the zoo train with “Mother Bear”… and some play time at the playground there as well. Checking out the animals (the ones that weren’t hiding in their ‘houses’ anyway…) The clouds were pretty. Some time playing by the ‘sprinkler ball’ in the yard. And a…
WW – The Perfect Family Portrait
I’m not sure why I’m considering spending a decent amount of money on family portraits in a few weeks. The B Man did a fine job capturing our beautiful family himself. I mean it is quite possible that if we actually got together to take a photo that Tim would be clandestinely grabbing my boob…
It’s All Too Fast
We cleaned out closets today. Tim dropped off a bunch of stuff earlier this afternoon that we donated and now, sitting in the kitchen and living room, are several ‘baby’ things that are out the door. Tomorrow. Of course it’s bittersweet to load up these things, including bouncy seats, play mats and boxes (2 huge…
