Today I am guest-posting at my good friend Erin’s place. She is an amazing mother, writer and friend and I am so honored to be sharing her space today. Please go check out my post, “Writing Ways” when you get the chance and do not be too jealous that I get to room with her at…
Out Back
Pretty sure my kids think my trusty camera is my fifth appendage. But I can still push them on the swings (although, good GRAVY, almost 5 year-old, learn to pump your legs already!!!) when we venture out back to play. And they don’t seem to mind too much when I take a break to snap…
This roller coaster…
Sometimes you’re up and sometimes you’re down. The ups are scary and the downs are scarier. I’m in the downs right now. I cannot run (still, yet, now, pain free, ugh). This fact makes me a bit depressed. And so I just want to EAT! The true definition of a vicious cycle in my life….

I’m Really Doing This & MEM
There have been some pretty exciting happenings around here lately. Including more friends trusting me with their precious family photo memories. That’s some kind of wonderful trust, if you ask me. I can only hope I lived up to the task for them. Thank you, my friends. I enjoyed it so much. And your family…
Just a little play time…
I loaded the red wagon with a vanilla wafer and banana snack for each and a drink to share. They climbed in, both clinging to their favorite lovies/stuffies and their little shoed feet almost touching. We set out for a little walk around the block but K quickly remembered our neighbor’s play-scape that sits in…
The trip was totally worth it for the cake and hugs
If you’ve never been to a good ole down-home Texas country wedding then you are missing out. My cousin’s daughter (my second cousin?) got married the Saturday before Easter and Katie and I rode down to the wedding with my parents and my niece. Although K was a bit tired by the time we left,…
So I guess I can extend our zoo membership…
We are staying. It is a really good thing for my husband and for our family. But part of me wants to go. So badly. It is not that I do not like it here. But I like it at HOME better. Parts of my mind try to tell me to believe this can be…
Leaving a Legacy
I hate that my memory fades so fast. It does you know. It truly does. Tim will bring up something and start rattling off the details and I’ll think to myself and even say, “I don’t remember that.” (trust me, he’s nodding along if he’s reading this…) I’m not sure what is taking up the…
Miss Elaine-ous Monday, etc.
This weekend was a whopper. I even missed a hair appointment because I just couldn’t keep all the soccer balls in the air. shIt happens. And here I am a week behind and posting more pics from our Easter, because, like I said, there are a lot. And I know the Resurrection of Jesus is already old…
