You Capture – Sunrise, Sunset

November 19, 2009 by Elaine

This is often what it looks like from our backyard, which obviously faces West, at sunset. I adore the blue and pink. And the shadows of the trees and bushes. Oh and the fact that we have a screened-in porch in which to sit and watch this beautiful show… If you have some photos on…

WW – When I Used to “Work”

November 18, 2009 by Elaine

I’ve been having memories in the last couple of days of when I used to work outside the home after The B Man was born. Perhaps because I have another little baby and can’t even imagine having to leave her soon… I went for my six week post-op check up at the doctor on Monday…

Blog Friends & Babywearing

November 16, 2009 by Elaine

I occasionally find myself thinking back on BlogHer and missing my friends that I spent time with and met there. My roommate from the conference was Haley, whom I’d met back in January when she came for a visit back when we were still in Texas. And although she’s like a decade younger than me,…

Having Visions of that Graphic of a Clock with Wings (in other words, Time Flies…)

November 13, 2009 by Elaine

Time is a funny thing. I remember when I ran through the dorm trying to get my laundry done and when I passed by the t.v. room a TON of people were in there watching some show called “Friends.” After I loaded the dryer with my acid wash jeans (oh kidding, I NEVER wore those…)…

You Capture – Your REAL Life

November 12, 2009 by Elaine

This week Beth challenged us to get pictures of our Real Life for You Capture. Here’s a few shots from my every day. Well, unfortunately the cookies aren’t part of my “every” day… but, that’s probably a good thing. Oh, but this sweet, sweet baby is part of it, and THAT is a absolutely FABULOUS…

WW – Caption It (The Dinosaur Edition)

November 11, 2009 by Elaine

Here’s mine… “So… THAT’S how the dinosaurs came to their demise!” Groan, I know. Poor T Rex. Got any better captions for me? If not, a regular comment will do. : ) Yesterday was kind of a crazy day and today the 5 yr old has ANOTHER day off from school and well, life is…

Perhaps I Jinxed it

November 10, 2009 by Elaine

I bought bottle brushes before Baby K was born. I felt I didn’t get the best help in the hospital. I guess I didn’t work hard enough with the nipple shield and other apparatus. I posted early on that it wasn’t working. And it’s STILL not. I cried the other day, and HARD. My little…

Let’s Recap

November 9, 2009 by Elaine

Our night out on Friday to celebrate our anniversary was quite lovely. We left the boys in the extremely capable hands of our sweet neighbors (a grandparent-like couple) and I knew it when she took Baby K right out of Tim’s hands and started to coo over her. Not that anyone in their right mind…

A Decade

November 6, 2009 by Elaine

Today, Friday November 6th 2009 marks mine and Tim’s 10th wedding anniversary. An entire decade of wedded bliss. Did I just say bliss? Okay, I know what y’all are thinking, certainly it hasn’t ALL been that fantastic. And of course you are right. Marriage is wonderful but it’s hard and challenging and even though I…
