When an almost three-year-old reads…

August 22, 2012 by Elaine

Someone I know that lives in this house and is short and naturally blond and female likes books a lot lately. She takes them into bed with her before nap and bed time at night.  She “reads” them while TRYING to go potty (oh Lord help me…) She makes up her own stories from the…

Things were going along fine…

June 26, 2012 by Elaine

I thought you all might like to hear K’s voice and so I asked her a few questions about our Summer so far. She likes to talk a lot so I figured a little interview would be good.  And it was…until the end. Well, you can see for yourself. She IS cute.  Even when she…

A video that makes me wish I took more video

February 1, 2012 by Elaine

I’m sure someone thought we were silly taking a quick video of our little girl “shivering” at cold ice cream the other day. Like maybe the young guy in the background that you see very briefly. Or maybe the older man across the way whose eye I caught during the process. Perhaps he wished he…

And POOF! just like that, she’s a full-on toddler!!

June 22, 2011 by Elaine

After I got this video up and running The B Man watched it and said, “Mommy! It’s like Kay-Kay can read!!  Did you buy her ‘Your Baby Can Read’?!  That’s amazing!” Oh son, we are SO cutting down on how much time you spend watching the cartoon channel. Sorry. Anyway, here’s a cute video of…

Another Vlog??

May 24, 2011 by Elaine

Last week I vlogged about NOT vlogging.  And this week I’m vlogging again.  So, either I’m a hypocrite or I have a very short term memory.  You decide. (are any of you actually reading this anyway or are you just skipping to the VLOG???) (also, is it pronounced VEE LOG or VUHLOG? Someone needs to…

Girl Time (with a video!)

April 6, 2011 by Elaine

We spend time playing in K’s room many mornings. It’s just so bright and cheery in there and well, I admit, I kinda like the girlie-ness of it all. Sometimes I walk into her closet just to take in all the pink and flowers and polka dots. What? Don’t judge. You’d do the same after…

Does it count as “vlog” if all you see is my arm and I’m just talking in the background?

December 12, 2010 by Elaine

While Tim and The B Man were off to the school book fair the other night I felt the need to record the smaller kids in the bath together. They are so cute. I know you won’t disagree. It’s actually physically impossible to do so. And please, watch the whole thing (or FF to the…

Monday Mish Mash

June 23, 2008 by Elaine

So, I am in Austin and if you are reading this that means the auto-posty thingy did it’s job just right. Yay! Here are some random thoughts for a Monday. Take ’em or leave ’em (I suggest you take ’em, but that’s just me…) *How come you can never find a tissue when you need…

A Trip Down Norwood Lane

May 9, 2008 by Elaine

On the way home from a couple of errands today I drove through the intersection of our city at Fielder Rd. and Norwood Ln. You know the one, right? ; ) It’s in kind of an older part town with homes that have very wooded lots and I pretty much have it memorized. Not much…
