WW – A Place Where There Were Pumpkins

October 21, 2009 by Elaine

On Saturday we took the family to a local church that was hosting a little fall carnival and pumpkin “patch” (or as I say, pumpkin staging area…). They had a bounce house, bake sale, hot dogs, some farm animals to admire (no petting!) and a pumpkin decorating area. Oh and maze that was muddy but…

My Life, It is Blessed

October 20, 2009 by Elaine

I think I failed to mention that when I was sick last week Tim was out of town. He had a 3 day/2 night business trip to another town in Louisiana and although I wished he’d been here, we were well taken care of by my MIL (thank God for her!!) and in retrospect I’m…

Tim and I had the very rare opportunity to be in the car together ALONE on Saturday for a bit (thanks again to my MIL) and we popped in the new Michael Buble CD while driving. And amazingly enough we were actually able to listen to the songs without children making noise over the music…

Very, Very Sick

October 15, 2009 by Elaine

Turns out mothers of newborns aren’t exempt from the stomach flu. It took over my body sometime in the 9 o’clock hour on Tuesday night (and you all know what that entails!) and I am just now feeling somewhat human again. My MIL has taken excellent care of me – providing ginger ale, noodle soup…

WW – Mothers & Daughters

October 14, 2009 by Elaine

My mom got pretty attached to Baby K when she was here last week. As she was leaving she urged me to send her lots of pictures (she doesn’t look at the blog that often) and we both fought back tears. I was so very happy to share my daughter with her, a time I…

I Fear My Body Shall Never Be the Same

October 13, 2009 by Elaine

It’s probably partly my own fault for not exercising very much and going through the drive-thru WAY too many times this pregnancy, but I truly feel that things may never go back to the way they were before. Why you ask. Here’s my list of reasons: 1. My feet still aren’t completely back to normal….
