WW – I’m Not Gonna Go There…

August 19, 2009 by Elaine

… and call it the “terrible twos” because I just don’t like that term. BUT. I am going to go ahead and call it the “trying twos” because oh my golly have my patience and all kinds of other things of mine been “tried” lately by my two-year-old. He’s cute, yes but lately he’s been…

It Was a Great FIRST Day!

August 18, 2009 by Elaine

The night before…. We chose and then laid out his school clothes (did I mention that I discovered there was a uniform-type dress code less than a week before school started?). I packed his lunch of yogurt, peanut butter sandwich (no jam), green grapes and 2 cookies. I made sure I had his “educational supply…

Such a Sweet Shower

August 17, 2009 by Elaine

I have wonderful friends. They are sweet, loving, thoughtful, talented ladies. I thank God for them. And after seeing them this weekend, back at ‘home,” I miss them. But even though I had to leave once again, it was proven to me that no matter what, they will be in my life, especially for the…

Seen

August 14, 2009 by Elaine

Yesterday morning we all went to my OB’s office and after the cool gel was applied, saw the baby girl again. The boys were in the room (I’ve never had kids in my ultra sounds before) and although I’m sure they (especially Little G) had NO idea what was on the screen, they did pretty…

You Capture – Motion

August 13, 2009 by Elaine

Kids are always moving so once I saw topic for this week’s You Capture, I figured that’s what would be in my pics, if I got around to taking any. I honestly don’t really know how to use my camera for the best “motion” picture,s as you’ll probably be able to tell from the couple…

WW – Four No More

August 12, 2009 by Elaine

It won’t be too much longer and we won’t be a family of four anymore. All I really wanna know… Who is going to ride with a stranger on the roller coasters in a few years? I know, probably me. Just teasing. But it is kinda of crazy to think that there will be FIVE…

I Think I Could Set a Drink on It

August 11, 2009 by Elaine

My belly is big. I know, I know. I’m 32 weeks pregnant so it’s gonna be. But seriously, this time, I feel Bigg-ER than either of the other two times. Oh and did you catch that? I said 32 WEEKS pregnant. And since a c-section* will more-than-likely be scheduled the week before my due date…

Monday Mumblings

August 10, 2009 by Elaine

My parents’ visit was good. For the most part we took it pretty easy. On Thursday The B Man had a swim lesson and we all swam together after. He’s doing really well and I’m so proud of his new underwater abilities. And even Little G LOVES to swim and is so cute in his…

You Capture – YOU

August 7, 2009 by Elaine

Okay, so I’m a day late doing this post but I forgot (story of my life these days) what the subject was this week for You Capture. But, I still want to participate, so I am. I’m instituting the “better late than never” clause. So HAH! Here are my couple of shots, taken while in…

Ramble-riffic!

August 6, 2009 by Elaine

Today my feet are not swollen but every other day in the last week, they have been. So, I’m counting my lucky stars right now. What makes this happen? How can I prevent it? Doesn’t someone know? Ugh. Oh and I’m T.I.R.E.D. Like exhausted. Is this partly my fault for staying up too late every…
