Little Reader

Surprise! It’s not Reagan, it’s Carter!

I was upstairs getting ready and Jeff told me to come quick.  Carter had climbed almost half-way up our first flight of stairs, and was sitting down happily “reading” his truck book.  It was just too cute to see that he drug his book up there and decided it was a good place for a little quite time.

I quickly ran downstairs and grabbed my camera while telling him to stay there because I wanted to take his picture.

Carter loves to read books. He’ll come right up to me (or anyone else), hand me a book, sit down in my lap and read a book over-and-over-and-over again.  Books about cars and trucks are his favorite, but he also likes touchy-feely books or books with flaps.   

He sure is a ham!

A month in review

I can’t believe it’s been a month since I last posted. I tried posting many times earlier, but kept having problems uploading pictures via BlogSpot. Thank goodness someone reminded me about live writer (Thanks Joy!) and now blogging is easy again.

  September just flew by with school and after-school activities starting, visiting Jeff’s grandparents in Michigan for Labor Day weekend, and me trying to get a daily routine implemented.  The kids have gotten bigger, I’ve now got red hair and fall is in the air.  Reagan is loving school, her teacher and all her various after school activities.  I enjoy being involved in many of Reagan’s activities and Carter enjoys spending a couple days a week with Nana and Grandpa.

Here’s the month in review in pictures:

Labor Day weekend in Hillsdale, MI:

Visiting a farm:

At Hillsdale College, with the tree planted in Great-Grandma’s honor (Carter liked shaking it back-and-forth, so we hope it survives the winter):

They played on the swing set, just like Grandpa and Jeff used to do:

We had some beautiful late summer/early fall days at home and we tried to spend a lot of time outside. Reagan poses on a rock in our side yard:

Carter had his first experience with markers. Yes, he ate them and yes they were washable.
