Update----

I always thought that when both kids were in school I would have time to get all the things done that I never had time to do. Well I was WRONG! Yikes if anything life has gone into warp speed. Sometimes I turn around and I can't believe that another week has passed. Someday maybe I'll learn how to manage it all.


Elizabeth---
School is going really well for her. Last week we got her 1st report card and she got excellent marks. The two things that we need to work on are keeping her on task and writing her numbers. I am so proud of her. She loves school. Even on the weekends she wants to go to school. In September she turned 5! I still can't believe that she is already 5. I find myself just looking at her face because she has grown so much. When I see the pictures from even a year ago I am in awe of how much older she looks. Her birthday party theme this year was butterflies and she had a wonderful day. Having a birthday at the beginning of school year is good because it gave me a chance to get to know some of the other parents. In October Elizabeth started taking Figure Skating lessons. We started with a private coach thinking that we would switch to group lessons once she had the basics down but we love the coach. He is great with her. Elizabeth adores him so I think that we will be staying with the private lessons. We might add the group lessons on top of the private ones. Matthew and I don't have a plan yet.


Ethan---
Started Mothers Day out the 1st week of September. The 1st week went really well and then he figured out that I was leaving him. He started crying when I left and would cry on and off all day. It was really stressful for me. This last week we are finally back to him only crying a little when I leave and then being happy for the rest of the day. On Friday he even cried because Elizabeth had school and he didn't. I will truly feel blessed when he runs in and completely forgets who I am. He can count to 12 and it cracks me up when Elizabeth gets mad because he takes over and counts for her. He is not very good with his colors yet...Everything is PINK....Matthew swears that we will have lots of therapy bills.

So that is our kids in a nutshell....Next time I will do a quick update on Matthew and I...

Have a great Monday!..
