Happy Independence Day!

July 4, 2010 by Elaine

We celebrated last night with friends at a local festival with fireworks. The kids made it through and we were ALL quite tired when we got home, but it was worth it. We do live and love in a wonderful country… But we still need to keep it in our prayers always… Happy Independence Day!

One Year AND Nine Months

July 2, 2010 by Elaine

One year ago today we moved our life to Louisiana. Tim left a couple of days before and then I packed the boys in the car, left our good friends’ house, picked up my MIL and we drove away. Me, the boys, my MIL and the sweet baby in my belly. You know, the same…

You Capture – Green

July 1, 2010 by Elaine

We haven’t been going outside as much lately. It rains a lot in the afternoons and the humidity is just stifling. I can be outside for just a minute and already feel the sweat beading on my forehead and forming underneath the back of my shirt. STIFLING I say. However, the other afternoon it wasn’t…

WW – ‘Bed Head’ hee hee

June 30, 2010 by Elaine

We played on the bed today. I wanted to lay down for a bit. She did not. She was moving too fast for me. She wanted to eat the camera strap. I only got a glimpse of her hair in this shot. She was headed for MY hair. She found it.

Past Post Parade! (Again)

June 29, 2010 by Elaine

Do you all remember when I did this last year (you know before I got TOO pregnant and had to pack my house and move, etc, etc)? Anyway, I was thinking that it would be fun again to read some people’s older posts. Don’t you? So, here’s the deal. Link up with a post from…

Thanks For Teaching Me to Love Old Things Dad

June 28, 2010 by Elaine

Have you ever had one little thing just make your day? Or even your week? This happened to me over the weekend. Let me back up a little… I like old stuff. And furniture. Therefore, I like old furniture. I grew up with parents who decorated… um how shall we say… ? “Eclectically.” And for…

PSF – Down on the Farm

June 25, 2010 by Elaine

We went down on the farm. I had sweat dripping down my back just minutes after exiting the car. The baby touched some ‘dead’ poison ivy. (she’s fine) I spent $7.25 I talked with some of my friends. I wore the baby as I sought out and picked my portion of the bounty. I let…

WW – 50 Years! Wow.

June 23, 2010 by Elaine

These are my parents. (one of my very favorite photos of them that I took in 1991 on one of our many vacations together) In about three and half weeks we will join them for a big party to celebrate their marriage of 50 years. 50 Years! Wow. But there’s a little problem. (mom or…

A Day Late and a Lightbulb (or two) Short

June 22, 2010 by Elaine

The kids and I went to one of those home improvement type stores today. I took them out against my better judgment (rowdy little buggars) and thankfully it worked out okay. Did you know that the store like that that starts with an “L” has cool car carts with TWO steering wheels? Yeah, saved my…
