And So I Ran

November 14, 2010 by Elaine

In middle school I really hated gym class. It wasn’t SO much the actual exercising as it was the too-tight uniform shorts I had to wear. I was NOT fond of track and field though, and remember feeling relieved that I was out sick on the day that we had to do hurdles. I was…

Do You Remember the First Time?

November 12, 2010 by Elaine

No, I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about lots of things in life that we do for the first time. Like riding a bike with no training wheels or losing a tooth or flying in an airplane. Things that are both exciting but can make you anxious all at the same time… I was…

Serene – You Capture

November 11, 2010 by Elaine

When I think of the word “serene” I think of still waters. Like a lake, with mountains behind. I also think of quiet and calm. Which, if you’ve been to my little spot here on the interwebby before, (and many of you have) you probably know “quiet and calm” don’t fit into my vocabulary too…

Please, please, PLEASE!

November 9, 2010 by Elaine

… like me that is. Or at least “like” my photo on FB. (obviously I’m not above begging…) Here it is. (Baby K, 6 months old) Don’t YOU “like” it? Seriously, if you are so inclined, please go to Modern Bird Studios FB page and “Like” it. Then go to my photograph that is in…

Morning, Why Are You So DAILY?

November 9, 2010 by Elaine

I am not traditionally a “morning person”. Morning means getting out of bed and I’m a HUGE fan of lying in bed, even if I’m not sleeping. Thankfully, I have a husband who is much more “morning person”esque than myself. Many mornings he gets up and feeds the kids and even makes The B Man’s…

I’ll Miss These Times Someday, Right?

November 8, 2010 by Elaine

This weekend was busy. But then most of them are. I believe we are in the beginning of the phase of our life as a family known as “BUSY”. It seems like we have at least one birthday party almost every weekend. And at least one soccer game. There were a couple of times this…

Time flies, but as long as I’m flying with him, it’s all good.

November 5, 2010 by Elaine

When I think about November of 1995 I recall how I was happy with my life as it was. I was in my Junior year of college, living with one of my best friends, having a good time and loving life as a twenty-year old. I was still “talking to” a boy I’d dated over…

Are y’all tired of Halloween yet? Yeah, me too a little, but I still had to post these pics… The festivities started on Friday at Little G’s preschool and seemed to just go on and on from there… trick or treating at pre-school as a “fitball” player Thanks to my parents being here to babysit,…

My Desire to be the “Perfect” Mommy – A Guest Post

November 2, 2010 by Elaine

Boy do I have a fun little treat for y’all today! I “met” Brittany on twitter the week before Bloggy Boot Camp in Austin and was excited to find her since I do not read any other bloggers under the age of 20 (that I know of!). I even tweeted her that I wanted to…
