Distractions

February 1, 2010 by Elaine

Just One Year Ago

January 31, 2010 by Elaine

Today was the day last year that we found out we would be parents for the third time. We were a little surprised at the time but of course we wouldn’t have it any other way. Our sweet Katie is a joy and light that God knew we needed. And we thank Him for her…

Just Cuz

January 30, 2010 by Elaine

Sometimes I start to tear up when I see her face. Like right now. I just had to post this picture because I love it and HER so much. P.S. Larger picture is thanks to One Crafty Mama and her tip on how to change the size. Thank You So much Michelle! : )

PSF – Uh Oh, It’s Started! (Honey, Don’t Read This)

WW – My Three

January 27, 2010 by Elaine

My three children are growing up right before my very eyes. (I know, I can hear you saying it, “Well of course they are, Elaine, that’s what children do!”) I registered The B Man for soccer last weekend. Little G uses the word “actually” correctly. Baby K smiles hugely as I come toward her to…
