I'm Cranky!

There isn't a day that goes by that Elizabeth doesn't use the I'm Cranky excuse. This morning I was trying to get her dressed for school and her excuse for not getting her clothes on "I'm Cranky" So I told her that if she didn't put on her shirt that mommy was going to be cranky too! She is a perfect mixture of Matthew and my mother. She is very witty like her father, the things that come out of her mouth can stop me dead in my tracks. Elizabeth is slow.......so like my mother, takes her twenty minutes to get out of the car. I think the only thing she got from me is the love of sleep....SIGH.....She has to match exactly (I am thinking that we are spending too much money at Gymboree) When she gets a new outfit she asks me where the matching socks and hair bow is? YIKES! She loves lip gloss! I think that she eats it. She also has my mothers sense of style...she likes thing a little different. I am wondering how she will handle the uniforms at school, right now she is excited but in a few years am I going to have a problem on my hands? In the last few years it has been really hard to get a good picture of her, she was always moving. I am loving that she has started pose, I can move her and she something silly and get a great picture! Now if we can just get Ethan to cooperate.

Pictures!

I was going to take a picture of Ethan's boo-boo but the memory card was full. 80 pictures that Elizabeth took. Trying to get a good one of the cats.....and I few that we took this weekend. I thought that I would share them. I was trying to get a picture for the Christmas cards. The ones of Ethan and I Elizabeth took. She did a great job!
I don't think that I am going to use any of these but I thought that they turned out okay.

Ready...Set...GO!

For some reason I feel like I am jumping off a cliff starting this blog...I am not sure why but it has been really hard to start. My goals for the blog are to update family and friends with what is going on in the daily chaos that I call my family. I named my blog cherish the Journey because life is such an amazing journey. Lastly I have noticed that life is moving at such a breakneck speed that I have forgotten to stop and count my blessings.

Last night Ethan fell and hit his head on the TV stand. His head had a huge goose egg and a perfect bruise of the corner. After a few hours in the ER we were told that er were really lucky that it didn't hit his eye. This morning it looks a lot better than I expected it to. He is acting like his crazy self but he has touched his head and said "ouch, boo boo" A major understatement if you ask mommy. Every day he amazes me...He is such a tough little boy.

Elizabeth is downstairs yelling mommy "no candy?" so I had better go.
