Another Month has gone by since my last post! This just means that life has been crazy busy lately, and I have more things to do, than I have the time to do them! Since the last post, we have celebrated my first "official" Mother's Day. (Although last year, everyone said I was a Mother already as I was ready to pop with Miss E!) We celebrated Mother's Day and Elizabeth's birthday together, and had both our families to our place for a wonderful meal, cake & presents! What a blast! Elizabeth turned ONE on a Tuesday, so I took off work to spend the day with her. My best friend from "back home"-- Diana, and her daughter Victoria (who is only a few months older than Elizabeth) came up for the day and we took the girls to Storybook Gardens in the Dells. It was a GORGEOUS day. (For more pictures, check out my Facebook photo album). Tuesday night, Mommy & Daddy took Elizabeth out for supper to Pedros (HEY! Its where SHE wanted to go!). We all got to try fried ice cream for the first time! YUMMY!
So much has happen in the past year. At times its overwhelming (usually in a good way). I just can't believe how fast time goes and as each day goes by, we all learn something new. She's at just the right hieght to grab things off the edge of the counter tops and/or kitchen table. We need to make sure everythings out of reach. And everything still goes in her mouth! She has tasted grass, dirt/sand, rocks, and anything else she has found outside. She loves to pick flowers (AKA- dandelions) and put them in her little pail. Or, grass, she'll pick up as much mowed gass as she can fit in her bucket! She loves playing outside, and I love taking her out there! She plays in the grass, on the swing set, pets the kitties, she has even pet the calves. She is getting to go down to the barn with Daddy more & more. He's loving this! It still makes me nervous, but I am getting used to it. Theres alot going on that I would miss out on, if I didnt send her to the barn. I'd never get to leave the house, I'd never get to mow the yard, I'd never get to play volleyball, I'd never get to garage sale. So, its been working out! Ahhh...garage sales.. I am a garage sale junky! I am been stocking up on clothes for Elizabeth, winter gear, shoes, decor, etc. Reedsburg recently had their City Wide...I got a little carried away. E should be good on clothe until shes 4!
So much has been going on lately. I need to post more frequently so I dont forget! I have to sign off for now though. Its a 1/2 day...and we have a long week ahead of us! Wedding, Memorial Day, Jamie's grandma's wake/funeral, and Jamie's mom is having surgery on her shoulder. So, lots of time off work, and I am praying for good weather. I will post pictures when I have more time. Otherwise, you;ll see some recent pics on facebook!
