Playing “House” (forgive me if it’s a little rambly…)

November 5, 2009 by Elaine

Do you remember when we were little girls and we used to play “house?” (well except for the few men that may read my blog, you probably were busy playing G.I. Joe or some crap…but us girls, we played ‘house.’) Looking back now, I kinda wish I’d played something else more. Like what I’m not…

WW – The “Look Who’s Talking” Version

November 4, 2009 by Elaine

Here are some of the things I think she might have said when this picture was taken, if she could talk of course: “Um, Lady, I don’t actually sit up yet, so quit trying to prop me up like I can. Geez, give it time and me a break.” “And in that same vein, can…

How Random Can I Be? Let’s See, Shall We?

November 3, 2009 by Elaine

Last week I met with Ben’s teacher for my very first parent/teacher conference and… I don’t think he could have gotten a better report. Except that he did not know the color purple. Well, he’s a boy, I mean why does he have to know THAT color. Obviously I’m kidding. She did say his behavior…

Halloween & A One Month Old

November 2, 2009 by Elaine

My boys have been wearing their Halloween costumes for what seems like 72 hours (is that three days? – forgive me, I’m the mother of an infant and well… uh… not so good at math). The B Man had a little program at school on Friday morning in which he recited two nursery rhymes and…

PSF – My Baby Girl

October 30, 2009 by Elaine

Sometimes I look at her and I can’t believe she’s here, with us. This morning I counted her fingers and toes, one by one and marveled at how tiny and perfect they are. Her face lights up my days, my life. I’m trying to cherish the moments, these days that can be tiring but I…

You Capture – Autumn

October 29, 2009 by Elaine

This week’s You Capture focuses on pictures of things related to Autumn. A wonderful season, I must say. Although you wouldn’t really know that it’s Fall around here just by driving around. Everything is still quite green. I mean we are in the South so it’s par for the course… of course. However, if you…

WW – Halloween (Past) Edition

October 28, 2009 by Elaine

For The B Man’s first Halloween we were gifted with this awesome chicken costume from Tim’s Dad and his wife, Diane. She worked for Old Navy at the time and despite being a little big, I think it “fit” him quite well. I even had professional pictures done of him in it and sent out…

I’ve Been Gifted

October 27, 2009 by Elaine

I’ve never really been surprised at the generosity of people. In my experience my family and friends have always been giving and generous with their time, talent and even hand-me-downs (just FYI, I LOVE ‘hand-me-downs…) BUT. People you’ve never met in real life? Giving you things? It’s still surprising to me. Not because I think…
