Have y’all heard about this conference happening the first weekend in August?

July 25, 2011 by Elaine

It was very questionable whether I was going to attend BlogHer this year or not.  I debated the expense of it all and since it’s the week before The B Man starts school, I wasn’t sure the timing was so great either. But after Tim gave me my “bonus” and I found an awesome additional sponsor,…

So Much to See

July 19, 2011 by Elaine

It’s just a picture of kids playing in a sprinkler, right? But once I really looked at this picture I saw so much more. On the bottom right, the baby boy that we worried for when he was born premature, almost 5 years ago… My ten and half year-old niece who towers over my boys…

Just Keepin’ in Real

July 18, 2011 by Elaine

I came home from our week-long road trip to a husband I missed A LOT. My friends and family were great while we visited with them.  The kids and I spent about 17 hours on the road total and they did really well.  We had a wonderful time and it was so nice to hang…

Nurse Shoes

July 15, 2011 by Elaine

I wanted Blake to win but I knew he wasn’t going to. I’d invested so much emotionally in this season and now here I was at the end of it, in a hospital bed with my newborn baby lying on my chest, painkillers making me less “me”.  Jordan won instead. As American Idol blared in…

July 10, 2011 by Elaine

We went to church with our friends this morning, while here in Texas. (Did I tell you the kids and I drove over for the week, without the Daddy part of our family? Yeah, we did…) As we sat down I noticed the tiny newborn in the baby carrier in the pew in front of us.  She…

Patriotism – You Capture

July 7, 2011 by Elaine

I want our children to be proud to live in the this country but I think they are still a little young to understand the concept fully.  It’s just a pretty BIG thing to grasp when you really think about it.   I looked at Tim as we waited for the fireworks to begin (on…
