Newborns are From Heaven (but a tad hard to photograph)

January 6, 2012 by Elaine

My good friend here in town had her third baby boy a few days before Christmas and he is just the sweetest thing.  But then aren’t all babies, fresh from Heaven?  Oh yes, they SO are. You may remember I took some maternity shots for her several weeks ago (scroll down to bottom of post)….

Sharing a Moment at Kir’s Corner

January 5, 2012 by Elaine

Today I am at Kir’s Corner sharing one of my Proud Mommy Moments and I’m SO honored to be posting at Kir’s place!  She’s an amazing writer and one of THE sweetest people I’ve encountered on the internet to date.  Her heart is SO big and loving and that’s why she’s so good at sharing.  🙂…

Three on the Fourth

January 4, 2012 by Elaine

I never publish a post this late in the day but I got out of bed this a.m. at 6:05 to go to the gym and I’ve hardly stopped since.  Well besides the fairly relaxing hair appointment I had this morning in which my stylist massaged my neck during the shampoo and it took her .053 seconds…

Last Night of the Tree

January 3, 2012 by Elaine

I lounge on the couch with my feet uncovered.  I can feel how cold my toes are but I’m too tired to get up and get any socks.  The rest of me is warm so it seems to compensate for the freezing digits. My not getting up to get socks reminds me of all the…

Cookies are Always a good idea

January 2, 2012 by Elaine

I was feeling a bit of “mom guilt” since the kids and I never got a chance to bake cookies together before Christmas, what with all the traveling and such. So… we made some post-Christmas, Christmas cookies.  Which I think was a stellar idea and we may do every year from now on since we…

Wow, What A Year!

December 30, 2011 by Elaine

Going through an entire YEAR’s worth of photos is fun, time consuming and brings forth so very many emotions.  I think I said in my head “Oh my gosh look how cute and little “so-and-so” was!!” about a bazillion times, possibly with a tear or three in my eye. Even The B Man seemed smaller and…

Plan a Trip with your Man/Woman/Partner ASAP!

December 30, 2011 by Elaine

When Tim looked at me in October with weary eyes and said, “I need a break, let’s go somewhere” I of course said, “Yes, LET’S!” I LOVE to travel and have my parents to thank for this, since they do as well.  We went on a family vacation pretty much every summer of my life,…

The House that B,G & K Built

December 29, 2011 by Elaine

The kids did a gingerbread house with their grandmother while Tim and I were out of town.  I kinda missed doing it with them but she also gave them complete free reign (which I am not very good at. ahem.).  Anyway, I think it still turned out pretty well.  We’ll just call it abstract, k?…

Christmas was good… as you can see.

December 28, 2011 by Elaine

I’m sitting here with a nasty cold, I think. I’ve been a little sick over the holidays and I’m guessing that the fact that I have not formally exercised AND have not been eating an ideal diet lately (oh my Mother’s Christmas treats are so good…) are probably not helping. Wait. I KNOW they are…
