to the library once again..

Sometimes I feel like we live at the library.
But there are plenty of reasons for that:
1. It's free (a very good price!)
2. Story time (Natalee and Kyah love it... for a while... then they just want to go color!)
3. Coloring (there's just something about the library's crayons... WAY better than coloring at home!)
4. Kids books!!! (again, free.)
5. Internet (this came in handy this past month... but I would only get anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes at a time because that was the extent of Natalee's patience!) (:
6. Kids CD's & tapes (free... and a vast supply, so we can switch it up now and then)
7. Adult books (sometimes I sit down with a book - after I haven't read in a while... and remember just how much I LOVE to read! This just happened to me this last week and I am devouring books once again!)
8. Other moms who give a smile, or share a crayon.... and who understand what it's like to be a mom!


Kyah just looked so intent... rather studious really...
just looking for that perfect book to complete our ever-growing pile!
This girl takes her library SERIOUSLY!

Natalee seems to be learning from Kyah in this environment.
She's never been too interested in many books besides the board books (for babies/toddlers). Kyah's exploration (I believe) had opened Natalee's eyes to all the possibilities in this one room! I hope this is just the beginning of a long love of books!
(just like her mama had!)

Free times = Fun times!

Aquadoodles run around $20 for the large mat. It seems like it will be worth the money! =)

Thanks for following our journey of adventures!

ooops!

I just realized that those "8 Month" pics I posted a few days ago weren't the 8 month pix.  They were more like one day shy of 7 month pictures... and THESE are the 8 month pictures! ha. o well... not much difference.  My editing was terrible in the 7 month pix - these are unedited, and probably for the best since it's not my strong suite! ha! (isn't this outfit from Nonnie ADORABLE!?) Love, love, love this one:    This is a typical face.  If he's not sucking in his lip, he's spitting and soaking his shirt with drool! (sorry so blurry - just had to remember this face!)
