WW – Say “Cheese!”

December 31, 2008 by Elaine

As a parent nowadays it seems as if we are in constant pursuit of the perfect picture of our kids. Or, our kids with someone else’s kids or well, even just someone else’s kids. At times it can be a pain-staking quest. But honeslty, most of the time… it just cracks me up. Take THIS…

December 30, 2008 by Elaine

Sometimes I think we all need a little “wake up call.” I’m gonna go ahead and call that little questionaire I had to answer at G’s 18 month well check, my latest one. Either I was just kind of “asleep” when it came to observing his development or our little guy decided that he was…

December 28, 2008 by Elaine

I decided to use this chance to take a look back at some of my favorite pictures from this year. So I guess we have to call this “Yearly Winners!” I have to say it was really hard to choose just one for each month. And I also have to give credit to June Cleaver…

Just Punch me in the Gut Why Dontcha

December 17, 2008 by Elaine

I was blind-sided today. I don’t like being blind-sided. I like things to run on time and smoothly and as expected and to be “normal.” Especially where my children are concerned. All that went out the window today while at Little G’s (one month late) 18-month check up. I knew he was sick and most…

He Loves Him, But HE Loves Him NOT!

December 8, 2008 by Elaine

On Saturday morning we headed out to honor one of our family Christmas traditions. Every year we like to visit the Galleria mall in Dallas because we love the ice skating rink, the huge tree and well… their particular Man in Red. See we (the hubs and I) aren’t “waiters.” We don’t like to wait….

My Kind of Crazy

December 4, 2008 by Elaine

Wednesdays are a little crazy for me. Why? you ask. Well ’cause I seem to be in the car A LOT. Today on the way back from an afternoon trip to Chick Fil A for ice cream for the kids and a sanity break for me, I counted. I buckled and unbuckled the kids’ 3…

WW – We Miss You Dada

December 3, 2008 by Elaine

So the hubs has gone a travelin’ again. The two weeks with him home was wonderful but all good things must come to an end. At least in this case. The boys are really starting to miss him more when he’s gone and both of them cried for him tonight. Little G is now used…
