i heart faces – Sepia Toned

June 16, 2009 by Elaine

Theme: Sepia Toned – Kids This is my nephew, Daniel. I just love his eyes and I personally think he’s extremely photogenic. Wouldn’t you agree? I took this one during our visit to Austin last week while the kids were out in my brother and SIL’s backyard playing and well, just being kids. He even…

Lost Reservation but Great Vacation!

June 14, 2009 by Elaine

We had a great time at Sea World in San Antonio and (no, they are not paying me to say that – Darnit!) and after day one we decided to spend all three days there. They currently have a deal where you pay for a day and then can come back all year and because…

Photostory Friday – Coolin’ Down

June 12, 2009 by Elaine

This was supposed to have been MY frozen lemonade but of course once the toddler saw it, that was no longer the case. And if you couldn’t tell, HE enjoyed it immensely…. Don’t worry, I did get a few bites because he took a few breaks to run back through the water in the little…

STRESS is About to Become My Middle Name

June 9, 2009 by Elaine

Tim flew out for his third to last trip for the “old” job on Sunday. The boys and I are still in Austin and yesterday my mother did my laundry and cooked for me (it’s almost like high school all over again, except I don’t remember changing any diapers then…). Yesterday we got an email…

WW – Time for a Break!

June 3, 2009 by Elaine

This is my friend Mr. Seal letting you know I’m outta here for a while. His mouth is open – can’t you tell what he’s saying? (Or it could be a “Mrs.”, I honestly don’t know….) Anyway, we’re headed down south to enjoy some time at Sea World and various other entertainment parks. I plan…

Past Post Parade – Pick One!

June 2, 2009 by Elaine

I’m going to make this really easy for everyone. Pick a favorite PAST post and link to it. If it’s from the month of May/June then great. If it’s from December of 2005 (or ANY other date for that matter!), then that’s good too! I probably won’t host for a month or so after this,…
