From a Distance – i heart faces

June 6, 2011 by Elaine

I took my boy to the plant nursery one day to help me shop for flowers.  Good thing, otherwise I’m not sure who would have pulled the wagon… 😉 Of course I love all my kids but I also love spending one-on-one time with each of them and this was one of those special times……

So here we are at 20 months and 5 days.

June 6, 2011 by Elaine

I could sense Baby K walking into the kitchen one morning last week as I sat checking my email in the next room (the living room, that is).  Things got WAY too quiet and within a minute she had used her counter-height eating chair to climb up on the counter and was STANDING on top of it….

For Just One Day

June 3, 2011 by Elaine

I have one eye on my little blondie doing circles in the water, his arms draped over his circular floatie. The toddler clings to my side as we wade in the water, her baby toes digging into my skin through my suit. I feel the sun baking my skin even after applying copious amounts of…

Games We Play

June 2, 2011 by Elaine

We took a lot of road trips when I was a kid.  For summer vacations mostly.  We played car games like “I Spy”,  the alphabet game and “Tank” (if you are not from south Texas and your name is not Elaine, Misty or Amanda, you may not know that last one – I think my…

Picture This

June 1, 2011 by Elaine

I really like taking photographs but I don’t think I’m THAT good at it still, mostly because I don’t know a lot of the “technical” stuff.  I recently bought a lens that isn’t fully compatible with the model camera I own.  Does it work, yes.  Does it work to it’s full potential?  Perhaps not. Tim…

Missing Things

May 31, 2011 by Elaine

You know that old saying that you don’t miss something until it’s gone? Well, my oldest is currently hanging out with his Mother Bear (what the kids call Tim’s Mom) this week and guess what?  I miss him. It’s been less than 24 hours since I gave him a hug goodbye.  Then he eagerly jumped…

She Was Wrong

May 27, 2011 by Elaine

This was absolutely the last time I was going to sit in this chair in this oh so familiar position. One arm automatically supporting his little back while feeling the soft cotton of his onesie. The other hand, caressing his silky blond hair. His legs were now too long and his little feet kicked the…

Oh So Pretty

May 26, 2011 by Elaine

I think the concept of “pretty” is something that is overrated. And blown up in our minds. Do you know what I mean?  We have this idea of “pretty” in our head as humans, for humans, and it just isn’t cut and dry. I see pretty things EVERY day in my life.  They are everywhere….

Oh The Bangs – #SeniorHottie

May 25, 2011 by Elaine

I’m joining in on the totally rad, out of this world  #SeniorHottie carnival at a belle a bean and a chicago dog . It’s no lie that I love a good look back… I loved high school.  Well except for Freshman year.  It quite sucked actually (socially anyway, I always did well in my studies). It…

Another Vlog??

May 24, 2011 by Elaine

Last week I vlogged about NOT vlogging.  And this week I’m vlogging again.  So, either I’m a hypocrite or I have a very short term memory.  You decide. (are any of you actually reading this anyway or are you just skipping to the VLOG???) (also, is it pronounced VEE LOG or VUHLOG? Someone needs to…
