So, I often look at my friends' blogs who haven't updated them in nearly 6 months or a year and then I get frustrated... I want to see new pictures of their kiddos! Then I realize that I am in the same place. I have, over the last 14 months, used Facebook to update people on Elizabeth rather than her blog. Then in the midst of changing blogs and trying to decide if I was going to stick with it, I just blanked out.
Well, Dan has been encouraging me to write more... so here goes.
I am committing to update E's blog (this one, not the old one) on a more frequent basis. I won't promise weekly, because I know that such deadlines make me freeze up. (That's what 10 years in college will teach you!) But, faithful readers, I know there are a few of you not on Facebook... so this is for you. And so I can share some good ol' E stories, too.
Like yesterday, when she was getting ready to ride to school with a friend and said "Mommy, I really like it when I'm away from you."
Or today, when we were at McDonald's and she finally mastered the "climbing thing" and came down saying "Mommy! I was so brave and fearless!"
Really... where does she get this stuff?
She is still such a joy to us. Not a day goes by that we aren't thankful for the miracle of her birth. Well, some days we seem less thankful... like when she'd rather make messes in her room than sleep (yesterday: "Mommy, I ruined my clean room")... but we are still so thankful.
Here are some recent pics:
