Elkins: Babies Don't Keep
http://clarkandbeth.blogspot.com/2009/11/babies-dont-keep.html
Tuesday, November 3, 2009. You may have heard this one. I love it, and think of it often. Mother, O Mother, come shake out your cloth,. Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,. Hang out the washing, make up the bed,. Sew on a button and butter the bread. Where is the mother whose house is so shocking? She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking. Oh, I've grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue,. Lullabye, rockabye, lullabye loo. Dishes are waiting and bills are past due. Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo.

Elkins: June 2009
http://clarkandbeth.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 11, 2009. I'm with the band. The name of their group is The Invisible Swordsmen. Clark and Russ have made up the base of it, with some collaborations with their other two brothers Ellis and Bryan. Their newest CD "A Sea Unseen" was just finished this past month. Check it out at. In the left-hand column you can click on individual songs to hear part of it. I'm really proud of them for how it turned out. I think each one has gotten better and better.

Elkins: November 2009
http://clarkandbeth.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. We had a great Thanksgiving! Clark's brother Ellis drove up from Utah and brought a friend, Collin, who we've known for a long time. Board games, lots of food, and just hanging out made for a great weekend. Jammie took all these pictures and made them into this cute collage. She's so talented at it! If you click on the picture you can see it a lot bigger. Now the trick is trying not to forget it! Tuesday, November 3, 2009. Mother, O Mother, come shake out your cloth,.

Friday, September 25, 2009. I always thought I'd be a great scrapbooker, but over the years I've realized my heart is just not in it. It takes tooo much TIME!

Elkins: Moments
http://clarkandbeth.blogspot.com/2012/01/moments.html
Thursday, January 26, 2012. It's confusing being an almost-two-year-old. Tonight Jocelyn was angry and crying because she thought I went into the garage and left her (It was Julianna that went into the garage.) I said, "I'm right here. Come here, baby, let me hold you." "NO! She said in her angriest voice, and then suddenly she came running into my arms for a snuggle. I'm glad she let me hug on her after all. I need to visit her, so I can see her talking. Thanks for sharing that short story : )!

Elkins: May 2011
http://clarkandbeth.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 21, 2011. Yesterday my firstborn turned eleven. Can I really be old enough to have an eleven year old? And asked for homemade egg rolls and fried rice for dinner. Needless to say, I spent most of the day in the kitchen. But she's so worth it. Here are some things about Evie:. She is a true and loyal friend. Her favorite sandwich is ham or turkey with mayo and lettuce on a white hoagie bun. PB&J are not her thing, but she'll eat it if she has to. She's far, far from it! She's a peacemaker...

Thursday, October 27, 2011. Evie's first 6th grade Orchestra Performance. Since Evie has played the cello now for a couple of years, she was placed in the 6th grade advanced orchestra class at school this year, and she was able to participate in a concert with the 6th and 7th graders and the Meridian Chamber Orchestra (an audition only high school orchestra.) My favorite piece was spooky-sounding, and at the end the whole orchestra jumped up and said, "Boo! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Elkins: February 2009
http://clarkandbeth.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 19, 2009. So here's a picture of my new hairdo for those of you who aren't on facebook (get on the stick, ya'll! It's not quite as dark in reality as it is in this picture, but I'm kind of liking it this dark, so maybe I'll have to dye it that color. Is it just me that's going grey already! I'll blame my prematurely greying Dad for that. Wednesday, February 18, 2009. Holy cow, is it Spring yet? It's a gorgeous day in Boise. Spring is in the air! Will it stay that way? Sure if she's our...

Elkins: August 2011
http://clarkandbeth.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 19, 2011. Reason number three, yesterday I took my oldest baby, Evie, to register for middle school. We got her schedule, found her locker, walked to her classes, said hi to a few friends. Middle school was not my favorite time of life, and I have tried hard not to pass my anxiety on to Evie, but I still feel it for her. What if kids are mean? What if she feels alone? What if she gets overwhelmed and I'm not there to talk her through it? I sure hope so! Evie, back in March.
