Thank goodness I have LOTS of photos…

January 24, 2012 by Elaine

She’s growing up.  Already. Yeah I know, she’s only a little over two (2 years and 3.8 months to be exact) but when she’s your last?  You kinda wish she could be a baby forever. Maybe this is why I have yet to give potty training a real “go” or I am hesitant to completely pull the…

Listable Life {Fave T.V. Shows} & MEM

January 23, 2012 by Elaine

Today I’m linking up with my friend Nicole for her Listable Life series… One of the choices for this week was to list your top 5 movies or television shows and I chose t.v. shows, so here’s my sorta short list: 1. Friends – this is kind of a no-brainer for my generation, I believe….

She’s So Random

January 20, 2012 by Elaine

I’m *pretty sure* I want to will run another half marathon in Austin at the end of March.  Like really, THE last day of March.  I’ve started training again like I’m going to do it but I’ve been eating like a pig lately peanut M&Ms are good. (I must be making up for low-carb lost…

Just Flowers

January 19, 2012 by Elaine

Our winters are warm here. They just are.  The temps usually only get below freezing 2 or 3 times each year. Which I’m really fine with.  Our weather lately has been more like early Spring or late Fall.  65 to 70 degrees?  Yeah. And as a bonus we have these beautiful camellia bushes all around…

Life is Messy

January 18, 2012 by Elaine

Her face is rarely clean. In order for it to be I would have to chase her around the house with a wet wipe or wash cloth.  ALL. DAY. LONG. So instead I just take a lot of photos like this. But it’s okay because those baby blues seem to overshadow the messiness and she…

Memories Captured – Little G

January 17, 2012 by Elaine

It’s hard to choose just one child to post a picture of when you have three. But sometimes you just happen to snap a shot of one of them that you feel is perfect for the moment. This is one of those pictures. My second little boy, wearing his Cars jammies, standing in front of…

My Space & Miss Elaine-ous Monday

January 16, 2012 by Elaine

Last week you all saw the desk that I cleaned up and out.  Since then I acquired a new BFF (also known as a new laptop, and no, it’s not from the apple family, don’t start) and two photography actual, legitimate paying customers.  So… I decided that I needed to sit at said desk instead…

Just Another Awesome Reason Why I Blog

January 13, 2012 by Elaine

I’ve been doing this blogging thing for a while now and SO very many bloggers have come and gone and stayed and some that I used to be enthused with I no longer am (just bein’ honest) and some new ones just blow my mind with their awesomeness. If I had hours days I would…

The A.M.

January 11, 2012 by Elaine

The day actually starts pretty lax around here but I attribute that to the fact that I currently have only one child in full-time school.  I’m thinking next year might be a different story once G starts Kindergarten (ACK, G will start K next year!!) but I hope it can stay this way. The little…

Some Same Something

January 10, 2012 by Elaine

I woke up unusually early to go to the gym since my schedule was packed for the rest of the day.  As I came to the end of the street where I turn onto the main road I saw two teenage girls standing in the dark morning, waiting for the bus.  They stood about 15…
