So last week I put myself out there and offered to take photographs for some of my local friends and their families. The response was more than I could have hoped (YAY!) and on Sunday I got together with my first guinea pigs family and I am happy to report that it went pretty well….
My True Colors
These last few days have been full of ups and downs. Little ones, not big ones. But no matter the scope, my emotions have run high and my heart hurts a little from someone else’s actions. Oddly enough, not someone that I am even that close to. It is truly amazing to me what one human…
New Challenges & Miss Elaine-ous Monday
I completed my 3rd 10K this weekend. I ran the entire time and it was THE first time I ever ran over 4 miles straight!! I had a friend running with me and I think that really helped keep me going and it made the time go by SO much faster! (Thanks Lindsey!) My official…
She found a pencil
K wrote all over the tile floor in pink crayon yesterday. She’s always had access to more things at a young age than the boys ever did. We have this coloring/art table in the corner of our living room and she goes there a lot to draw (I use the term lightly). But this day…
Falling
SO much going on this week in my head, my heart, my life. So… just pictures. All pics taken with my new iPhone 4S, which I think is pretty darn awesome.
Some days…
Some days I am so full of words and pictures and thoughts and I have to get them out. But today I sit here with the cursor blinking as my head pounds and not much is coming to me. I did think of the all the cute kids at the birthday party we went to…
Celebration Time & Miss Elaine-ous Monday!
Yesterday was mine and Tim’s wedding anniversary and we celebrated ALL weekend. But not our anniversary. No, instead we had 3 (count ’em) THREE!!! birthday parties, one every day, starting Friday night. I won’t tell you which one had the best cake because that’s just rude. And yes, I ate some cake. And some s’mores…
12 Years Since We Said “I Will”
It used to be the crazy busy nights of getting ready to go out with friends or just to dinner. Sometimes we traveled back to my college town or thereabouts to meet friends. Many times to the Big D, places with a wall full of beers on tap and pool tables filling one room. Sofas…
Is there a foot God I can pray to? ‘Cause I will!
Today my dear, sweet husband IMed me a link to an article about training for a marathon. Yes, a MAR-A-THON. Not a half one. A full. 26.2 M.I.L.E.S. Anyway, I typed back to him that he was crazy and did he want me dead then a second later I said in my head very softly “maybe”. And…
Awesome Kid of the Week! (or Century, whatever…)
Sometimes I forget how very awesome my kids are. I just get wrapped up in the craziness of the days or weeks and I have little moments where I momentarily recognize their awesomeness in something they say or do but because we have a pretty busy household and life goes fast at age 36 and…
