The kids and I went to one of those home improvement type stores today. I took them out against my better judgment (rowdy little buggars) and thankfully it worked out okay. Did you know that the store like that that starts with an “L” has cool car carts with TWO steering wheels? Yeah, saved my…
Father’s Mean So Much…
…especially the ones in MY life. Me and my Daddy when I was close to one year old. Tim and The B Man when he was one. Tim and Little G when he was almost one Tim and Baby K at the beach a couple of weeks ago. Happy Father’s Day to all the father’s…
You Capture – At the WATER
I find it quite timely that I happened to take a trip to the beach last week and this week’s theme is Water. I’m using it to my advantage and posting several of my favorite pictures from our trip. ENJOY. Baby K’s toes touch the sand and water for the first time The evening we…
Almost a Year…
It’s been almost a year since we packed up our home and headed for our new one. I had memories today of being big and pregnant while dealing with boxes and foundation problems and a constantly traveling husband. The week before we moved was one of the hardest weeks of my life. Really. Before we…
There’s Sand in My Ears and Other Places I Won’t Mention
I’m not sure how to express what a “time” we’ve had on this vacation. We are here with our good friends, who also have two boys, including one that is also six and great friends with The B Man. And. If I had a little dime for every time the aforementioned words “poop” and “farts”…
“I Left My Soul There, Down By The Sea…” *
A vacation to the ocean is my favorite. I just love it there. The waves, the sun, the sand. The complete VASTNESS of it all. Somehow, someway, it cleanses me from the inside and I’m reminded how very small we really are. In a good way. I see the power of the water and realize…
The Soundtrack of My Life
It’s the little boy laughter that echoes throughout the cavernous living room. It’s the music from the exer-saucer as baby’s hand smacks down. Is it something from the Baroque period? I’m not sure. It’s the swish of the washer and the tumble of the dryer. It’s the beeping of the microwave and the ice maker…
Easter Day Play By Play
7:00 A.M. Daddy brings Mommy her first Easter chocolate. Mmmmmm… 8:03 A.M. Mommy snaps a few pics of the kids outside in the driveway while Daddy is still inserting his contacts and putting on his tie. 8:05 A.M. Mommy’s getting a little perturbed that Daddy still isn’t ready yet… 8:07 A.M. Sweet neighbor whispers across…
Mommy & Me AND Daddy & Me!
We had a lovely 3-day weekend and I’m so glad that Tim took Friday off to relax and spend some time extra time with us. He made Ben his favorite Birthday breakfast (Belgian waffles with whipped cream) and we also went to an outdoor concert and picnic in town. He took this picture of me…
S.I.X.
SIX years ago today I became a mother and my life was forever changed. Today my “Benja” is smart, sensitive, funny and quite the artist. He loves his brother and baby sister so very much and likes to “fuzz” Baby K’s hair and even Little G’s still sometimes too! He can be a tad bossy…
