Some of our favorite recent reads...


We go to the library regularly, which I love.   Here's a few of our recent favorites.  I didn't realize the theme that naturally came about, but out of the large selection of books we brought home, these stories about early pioneering days turned out to be our favorites.  A Packet of Seeds by Deborah Hopkinson touched my heart tremendously, and I actually teared up this first time I read it to my girls.  Buffalo Music by Tracey E. Fern is such a neat story based on the life of Mary Ann Goodnight and how she and her husband helped to keep the buffalo from becoming extinct in the late 1800's; and of course, who doesn't love Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House On The Prairie??  Anyways, I would like to keep track of these lovely reads.

Here we go!

In an effort to chronicle these days with my family that have only proved to be so fleeting, I want to try and blog again.  Nothing fancy, just pictures and some thoughts of the moments that take place in our lives... And soooo let the blogging begin (and let's hope I can keep it up longer than a few weeks :o))!
