WW – Food Face

February 24, 2010 by Elaine

I started Baby K with some cereal on Valentine’s Day and we’ve already graduated to sweet potatoes. Sadly neither has enticed her to sleep longer. I may try a full Thanksgiving dinner soon (a little tryptophan never hurt a baby, right??). Don’t judge me. I’m tired. That’s why all I have is this {SUPER CUTE…

I Heart Faces – Hands

February 22, 2010 by Elaine

I Heart Faces is actually all about HANDS this week. I took this photo last week while in Texas. Baby K met her Great Grandparents (Tim’s Mother’s parents) for the first time. I think Baby K liked her Great Grandmother’s ring. I love the contrast of the hand that has weathered so much versus the…

Mommy. ME.

February 22, 2010 by Elaine

Sometimes life can be a bit overwhelming. You know like when you’ve just come back from a whirlwind trip to visit family and friends, back in the town where you used to live that you still miss and you drive by your old house and can see the light beaming through the front door and…

PSF – He Loves to Pose

February 19, 2010 by Elaine

We went to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and Natural History yesterday and the boys had a great time. They have an outdoor “Dino Dig” and a great children’s play area as well as many fabulous exhibits. They also have an outdoor water play area but it was closed due to the fact that…

You Capture – Kisses

February 18, 2010 by Elaine

It fits the theme and he did WHAT I asked him to WHEN I asked him to. That in itself makes this an amazing picture. Plus, I think he kinda likes her… 😉

Co-Sleeping is NOT for the Tender-Ribbed (or me)

February 16, 2010 by Elaine

The sleeping arrangements at Grandma and Grandpa’s house leave a little to be desired. At least for me. Little G was satisfied to sleep on a blow up kiddie bed for the first two nights but unfortunately that has lost it’s luster and he’s found the bed where I sleep (in the same room) much…

The 3 C’s – Candy, Cereal & Cousins

February 15, 2010 by Elaine

We made it to Austin in a little over 7 hours with 3 stops and very little crying. Five minutes before we “landed” in my parents driveway Little G was all like, ” I WANNA GET OUT OF HERE!!!” And so was I. But we made it safe and sound and I was ever so…

We’re Off!

February 13, 2010 by Elaine

So, the kids and I are leaving today for what I’m callin’ “The ‘Woah, I sure have packed our schedule full of activities and people to see in just one short week’ Tour of Texas Road Trip.” Did you get all that? Truly, I’m not sure what’s going to wear me out more – the…

Absent on a Snow Day

February 11, 2010 by Elaine

I have been contemplating a post in which I state that it takes about 7 months to get used to living in a new place… here’s my meager attempt. We’ve made some friends through Tim’s work and through the Moms Club I’ve joined. We now have about 3-4 babysitters we can call on (mostly teenage…
