Well, this is my very first blog. For right now I'm writing it to replace the good ole pen and paper to keep track of the happenings in our life. So one day I can look back and remind myself of what was going on way back when. I'll probably talk mostly about Emily since she's such a huge part of my life. Anyway, I'm currently a stay at home mom and I'm enjoying mostly every minute of it. Josh is currently working as an assistant meat market manager at Harris Teeter and is trying to avoid chopping off any other digits (as most probably know he lost half of one back in 05). We are living la vida loca in Clayton, NC in our cozy home that I've enjoyed putting together since moving in back in 04. We occasionally get out on our pontoon boat and get to go camping from time to time. We took Emily on her first camping trip back in August. We went to the NC mountains. She did quite well and the only incident we had was a raccoon that didn't want to leave our food alone. I also enjoy spending Sundays with my parents, sisters, and their families. One of my sisters (Jennifer) will be having her first and only girl in February. I'm looking forward to Emily having a girl cousin to play with here in the Raleigh area because she's the only granddaughter around these parts (she has 3 girl cousins in TN). Other than all of that, our life for the most part is pretty uneventful and we like it that way.

Emily Quotes
"It's too fall" Translation: It's too unstable and I might fall.
"I burped" Translation: I farted.
"I did ___ last night" Translation: Anything that happened in the past, whether it be a few minutes ago or days ago, to her it happened last night.
"My __ is growing" Translation: Whether it be her arm or her foot, if she can't fit something on it (usually an article of clothing) it means that it must be growing.
"I can't do this right now" No translation needed but I find it cute that she can express her feelings when she's feeling frustrated and/or defeated and doesn't want to do something.
"Oh my gosh" It just sounds so funny coming from a 3 year old and she says it with such disbelief in her voice.
"I'm crying right now" Translation: If she's upset about something and she's crying about it and you ask her do something she doesn't want to do in the midst of her crying she uses this as an excuse as to why she can't do what you're asking her to do.
"Hold you me." She used to say "hold you" instead of "hold me". Recently she changed it to "hold you me." She's so close to getting it right. :)
"It's too poison for me." She says this when she doesn't like the taste of something. She also says "it's too sour" for the same reason. We've told her that some inedible things are poison and so she just adopted it to mean she doesn't like something. The sour thing came about when I asked her if her milk was too sour one day. Now, even if it's not sour, she uses this as a reason not to eat or drink something.
"I'm stinky"- It's not the phrase itself but why she's says it that amuses me. She says this every morning while standing outside my door. Usually after I open my door she'll be standing there and then tell me "I need breakfast." I guess it's the whole yelling "Fire!" concept. You know, yelling "fire" is more likely to get other people's attention over any other phrase. I think she thinks that if she yells anything but "I'm stinky" she won't be able to get me to get up. I don't know why.

"When I'm 16 I can ______." Emily asked me if she could have some coffee. I told her that she could when she was 16. Well, now when I tell she can't do other things, she says she can when she's 16.
