Trips to the Library have been a huge part of our summer. We go once a week and fill my library bag as full as possible. This week we maxed out at 35 books. That is the most you are allowed to check out.
Here's hoping we don't lose any of those books now!
Here are some pics of Ryan reading to Dean this summer...
s

Dean's sidekick, best friend, bunk mate, and snuggle partner. His "bonkey" as he calls it. All of his lovies are called " Bonkey, Bankey and Pacey". Moneky, blankie and pacey.
Which ...why oh why did we not try to get him to kick his pacey habit like a year ago!!!?
He loves his monkey so much , he sticks it's tail in his ear. I know...gross.
Poor thing...it is seen better days. Actually his back had two huge holes in it recently. I had to do a pull and tuck on him to mend it. Now he has more of an egg shaped head.
Ella Reese is progressing in her reading. This weekend we were in the bathroom and she started to read the sign on the back of the bathroom stall..."Please put all feminine products in the waste basket".
But she only read a few of the words. Like please, and waste basket. Still, I was like..."Okay, let's kick it up a notch at home!".
Dean's summer kicks. All nice and white and new. It has been well loved this summer. Not so white, or new looking anymore!
One of my favorite pics of ER when she was almost 2yrs old.
Ella writes on paper randomly...
When we went to FL with the Finches, I drew out a schedule for Ella Reese so she would know what and where she would be for the week. She memorized it. And still has it in her keepsakes in her room.
Ahh...so summer.
