We are staying. It is a really good thing for my husband and for our family. But part of me wants to go. So badly. It is not that I do not like it here. But I like it at HOME better. Parts of my mind try to tell me to believe this can be…
Miss Elaine-ous Monday, etc.
This weekend was a whopper. I even missed a hair appointment because I just couldn’t keep all the soccer balls in the air. shIt happens. And here I am a week behind and posting more pics from our Easter, because, like I said, there are a lot. And I know the Resurrection of Jesus is already old…
These Days…
…they go by pretty fast, you know? Last night we returned from Texas, late. Meaning it was late at night. Like 11 p.m. late. And someone I know who is two years old was still awake and watching “bugs” (A Bugs Life). During our long jaunt back, I texted a friend of mine to see…
On the Fourth of the Fourth Month
And so it goes that I did not get a picture of my kids on the third but yet again, the fourth of the month. The universe must be trying to tell me we need a dog or something (since you know, no mo babies are comin’ outta this lady…). Plus I was completely distracted…
Flower Farming
When I was a little girl my maternal grandparents’ farm was a wildflower wonderland in the Spring. I loved our trips there during that time of the year because I could break out through the back gate and find myself in an enormous field, full of greens and blues and reds and whites and yellows….
Date Night & Miss Elaine-ous Monday
Tim and I were finally able to rectify this last week’s horribleness with a night out alone on Saturday evening. My parents were kind enough to wrangle the kids and put them to bed while we galivanted around this little city of ours. We dined at a lovely, local restaurant that takes pride in…
Oh So Silly – i heart faces
I immediately thought of this photo. I mean, who wouldn’t?! 😀 All eleven cousins on my side of the family… being OH, so silly! (well, most of them anyway…)
Back
So the kids and I drove off to Big D (Dallas) on Thursday afternoon for some visiting of family and friends. The main reason we went was because one of my “besties” is about to have her second son and we girls surprised her with a shower/dinner. She had absolutely NO idea that it was…
Last Night of the Tree
I lounge on the couch with my feet uncovered. I can feel how cold my toes are but I’m too tired to get up and get any socks. The rest of me is warm so it seems to compensate for the freezing digits. My not getting up to get socks reminds me of all the…
Wow, What A Year!
Going through an entire YEAR’s worth of photos is fun, time consuming and brings forth so very many emotions. I think I said in my head “Oh my gosh look how cute and little “so-and-so” was!!” about a bazillion times, possibly with a tear or three in my eye. Even The B Man seemed smaller and…
