“Mommy, I want a snack!” Pause. “Mommy, did you hear me?” *yes, I heard you baby, but I’m working* “Yes, baby, just a minute!” This time I was watermarking photos, not even surfing the internet. I got to a stopping point, put my laptop on the table and raised myself from the comfy couch to…

“Her is Big Now”
We gathered on the “L”-shaped sofa, the five of us. Earlier that day we declared it family movie night and just minutes before we all settled down, we scrambled around our cozy, lived-in house, grabbing the right sized jammies for everyone, from the little to the big, and clothed ourselves in our comfiest of things. Flannel and…
Having a Daughter
Sometimes I just stop and marvel at the fact that I have a daughter. There was a time when I just wasn’t so sure. Although when I found out I was pregnant with her I kinda had a feeling. But I didn’t want to get my hopes up… you know? I find such joy…
Nap Time
I walk up to her in the midst of her playing and say, “Katie babe, it’s time for sleeping”. I expect the wailing and it comes quickly. I’m not sure she hears me as I tell her we can read a story first. Instead she over powers me with her voice, hollering, “but I want…
The Bob
On Saturday afternoon she looked like this: And then by Sunday afternoon (and Tuesday morning, second photo) she looked like this: She never leaves anything in her hair (that headband only lasted a little bit) and after the “self cut” she gave herself last month that is taking FOREVER to grow back out, I figured…
Matching Umbrella
The rain has stopped but the puddles in the driveway call her name. She loves to jump and splash in them, just as any little girl should. She learned her technique from her older brothers. After I put on her “rain coat” she dashes out of the house to see her playground of water and…
I simply could not resist its charms
On my way to take photographs of my friend’s sweet baby girl on Saturday morning I happened to notice that a local antique shop was having a tent sale outside. I desperately wanted to pull swerve over RIGHT then and take a gander at what they had to offer and see what I could find…
My Photos of K – Miss Elaine-ous Monday
I like to take photographs. Especially of my adorable kids. (yes, I am biased) I consider myself a photographer, but an amateur one. I always had someone else take pictures of the boys for their big milestones. But now, I’m taking them myself. I think I captured my two-year old pretty well. And here’s a…
