So I finally joined Facebook after continuous pressure by 'everyone'. When my husband came home from work saying "We need to join Facebook" I knew it was all over! I actually like it. So if I have yet to find you come find me!

Updates & E

SO I have to say that my family makes my love cup run over. This past week I was very sick (just an incredible icky virus) Jake took a day off of work to tend to Elizabeth for me & tend to me too. They both were so wonderful. One night after vomiting (sorry to share :)) Jake handed me a cup of water while I sat on the bathroom floor & Elizabeth picked it up & said "Here you go Mommy... sorry Mommy." I started to cry because I just felt so miserable and she pushed my hair from my face gently and then she got the brush from the counter top and started to brush my hair saying "Its ok Mommy." -My Two year old. I just never want to forget this.

After lying down for a while I got up and she ran to me asking "Are you better Mommy? ...better?" and gave me a HUGE hug. For the next few days she tended to me after Jake returned to work and always asked if I was ok and "Still sick Mommy?" This is a picture of her just playing beside me on the sofa.

It was so funny she got her chairs from her room after I told Berkley to "Go sit on the chair!" (get off the couch) so E ran to her room & got one of her little chairs and plopped it in the living room saying "Here you go Berkley" if you remember these are little kid chairs and our dog Berkley is HUMONGOUS. it was too funny.

E is addicted (to put it mildly) to the Backyardigans kids TV show. I LOVE the silly things she learns from this show like the other day she started with "Oh for goodness sakes" :) You'll often hear her playing in her room singing the songs and from no where a cry of "WHOO HOO!". It always makes us giggle.

The other day I was reading E a book in her room & she just got up & took off. So I sat there for a minute & waited. After a minute or so I called out "Hello? Has anyone seen my daughter Elizabeth? She just left me." A moment later all I hear is a little giggle from the living room.

I love how I can talk to her and she listens and it always surprises me how much she really understands. I think it's funny when I tell her things like "Ok don't get hurt." and "Don't die ok?" -just to be funny as she's running off to play and she'll call back "OK!" I know it maybe sick but it makes me laugh. When she does get hurt I'll ask "Are you dying?" and she'll say "No.".

So I was showing Elizabeth my blog updates and she of course like most children LOVES pictures of herself!

"Ah! Ohhhh!" Then she said "Where's Layla?" that's what she calls her friend Anela (her parents also call her Layla at times) so I scrolled and showed her the pic of them holding hands and then she giggled and said "Oh, hold hands."

She had a comment for most of the pictures then when we got to her and Dad she said "OH look Elizabeth and DADDY! Oh, I LOVE DADDY!" -Yup, he's the favorite.

She's so funny in her responses to our questions. Jake was trying to get her dressed for bed and she was kicking him and he was telling her to stop so he finally said "Do you want to go in Time Out?" She replies with a giggle "Yes" so he put her in Time Out. She sat in her chair swinging her legs singing and giggling (we can't help but laugh) She loves to say "Sorry Daddy" and give hugs.

Little things still get me like when I had her in the tub this morning she was playing and I told her to get her hands wet and wash her face and she did it! Then I said "Try again, you have some food on your face" so again she did it and looked up and said "Good?" smiling at me.

LOVE HER!

Yesterday she was walking around with two of her toys saying "How do you do?... How do you do?" all day long.
