Bookworms...

I was so happy.
I came around the corner to find my two sweeties sharing a chair.
Kate was 'reading' (repeating from memory) the Five Little Monkeys Book to CJ.


I was even happier when I was able to snap a picture without them really noticing.
I love my girls!

**********************************************************************************

By the way, I finished reading These is My Words and it was wonderful.
So, so, so good.

I'm now reading Little Women. 
Have you read that one before?
I have not.

I started a long list of books I want to read so I will never be without.
I'd love to hear if you have any fantastic titles to share.

Very cute picture! I've been reading to Wendell and Harlie more as we've been going to the library. It's a lot easier to be motivated to read when we have knew and exciting material. I'll have to check out those books.. I have a few of my own to weedle down but it's good to have a list... as we all know that browsing at the library is a joke with the little ones around.

To be brave...

At the young age of 14, our oldest daughter was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Glioblastoma is not a cancer with stages. It is only stage four; that's how deadly and impossible it is to heal from. When the pediatric oncologist sat herself onto Kate's hospital bed to share the awful news, Kate simply and stone-faced asked if she was going to die. "Do nothing and yes, you will." Kate's diagnosis and she shed no tears. Whereas I had minutes ago been sobbing into my husbands chest wishing I could die instead.  Kate was fortunate(?) to live two and a half more years. Two and a half years without hair, without pursuing her dreams, without...a lot. She bravely and boldly walked into the high school any chance her body would allow wholly different and beyond recognition from the girl she once was. Two and a half years after diagnosis on a chilly November 21st, I read the MRI report minutes before we were to meet with her oncologist. The report was damning. Seated n...

March Madness 2024...

Let's talk brackets. I love a good competition. I love to win. But when I don't win I can typically move on quite quickly from a loss (unless we are specifically talking about Big Six Swim Offs, but I digress.) We have a family group on ESPN for the men's NCAA basketball tournament and it's "high stakes" with no entry fee, a chocolate rabbit for the winner and most importantly bragging rights. While I've never won, nor have I ever been close to winning, I thought I'd share my rationale for my picks through the first round of play. You should not follow this advice but if you so choose to, don't blame me when you too lose out to a cat with it's own bracket. East Region UConn 1 v Stetson 16: This is a silly way to start because it's a 16 v a 1 seed and clearly we know the very likely outcome of this game. But if I could, I'd choose Stetson cologne over a Huskie dog because Huskies kind of scare me a little. Regardless I am going with the ...
