Elaine and Tim Sittin’ in a Tree…

November 6, 2008 by Elaine

WW – Little G & Friend

November 5, 2008 by Elaine

Little G had fun trying to make a new friend at the park the other day. His face literally lights up anytime he sees a small animal such as a dog, cat, or in this case a squirrel. He starts giggling and usually runs toward the animal as fast as his little legs can carry…

Clear as Mud

November 4, 2008 by Elaine

I have so much swirling around in my head. I am not sure why. It’s almost like I have all these unfinished thoughts, where I start one and another one cuts it off before it’s even done. And… we are getting low on the Trader Joe’s “oreos” that are so much better than the other…

November 3, 2008 by Elaine

Ok, so I think I’ve finally come down off the trip high. Cleaning up after kids and changing TONS of diapers (Little G is still having stomach issues off and on… sorry if that’s TMI…) will do that do a girl. “back to life, back to reality…” It’s all good though. And of course the…

Napa/San Jose Trip Part 2

October 30, 2008 by Elaine

On day two we woke up to a day full of aniticipation and I for one was most excited to find out what more all these grapes I’d seen the day before could do for my palette. Our first stop for the day was the Robert Mondavi wine tour which began promptly at 10 a.m….
