10 Kisses, 10 Hugs!

May 17, 2013 by Elaine

One night last month I was putting the boys to bed solo since Tim had left me to go to some fancy-shmancy golf tournament called The Masters. Yeah. Whatever. 😉 Anyway, G had kind of a rough night of not being able to calm down AT ALL and NOT listening to me and well, that…

The Gavinator is SIX!

May 15, 2013 by Elaine

When Gavin was born I remember watching the American Idol finale from my hospital bed.  It was the year that Jordan Sparks won.  She beat Blake.  And I knew she would, but I just liked him so much, I was rooting for him.  He was really cool and different. I also remember the nurse I…

It was a REALLY good day

May 13, 2013 by Elaine

Ten things I loved about Mother’s Day 2013:1. Breakfast in bed.  Oh yeah!  A cinnamon sugar donut (homemade by the hubby), eggs, bacon and coffee.  That’s right girls, be jealous.2. HGTV while eating breakfast in bed.  And boys bringing me pressies they made at school, WHILE still in bed.3. Church with my whole family, sitting…

Celebrating Mothers

May 10, 2013 by Elaine

Motherhood: One of THE most challenging and rewarding jobs ever. (my words) I know, you’ve read and heard it a million times.  It’s totally cliche, but it’s true, true, TRUE.  There is just no denying it. My own mother raised (in company with my father) three boys and a girl.  She cooked, cleaned and even…

Gas Party

May 7, 2013 by Elaine

G’s class had THE cutest performance last Wednesday night. I know, y’all are still coming off the high of the Q & U Wedding, trust me, I know. But his teacher truly LOOOOOVES this kind of stuff.  As a matter of fact, her kindergarten class is the only one to even do the “operetta”, the…

Past, Present and Future

May 1, 2013 by Elaine

I was looking at and working on our family calendar today. The future. We have kind of a big deal summer vacation in the works for this year and I’m pretty excited, really hoping it works out.  I’m like a kid again, anticipating something really fun but “mom” and “dad” have not said “yes” yet…

A Day in the Life

April 29, 2013 by Elaine

I was thinking the other day about how my days used to go when I had only one child and still worked outside of the home. And I wasn’t thinking about it because I was necessarily wishing I was back there, of course not.  I was thinking about it because I try to keep my…

The “H” Word

April 25, 2013 by Elaine

You know how you have this idea to record your adorable kid(s) because they are just so “DANG CUTE” lately and so you run and get your phone to keep their latest milestone and super cuteness for posterity? And to post it on your blog for all of your twenty-ish readers to see?? Yeah, that…

I Know Y’all Wanna See Some Wedding Pictures…

April 24, 2013 by Elaine

When B was in Kindergarten Q and U got married. And now G is there and they got married AGAIN. I knew this was a wedding I would not want to miss because I know his teacher, and she is GOOD. I was right. Q and U always get married near the end of the…
