I THINK I CAN

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can! I've got to get back into the swing of things and get back to blogging!!!!!!

After all, so much is going on. Blogging is a great way to journal and posts recipes and tell everyone what's happening with our family. I just get so busy and caught up in other stuff that I don't take the time to blog. I miss it! And I really miss visiting other bloggers.

The Little Engine That Could was one of my favorite books when I was little. I love the way it teaches children that with a little hard work and optimism you can succeed. Speaking of children's books .... take a look at this.

That's the night stand in my guest room with children's books. I usually try to keep this shelf in better order, but by the time the grandkids leave, this is what it looks like. We got to keep Kaylee for a week (well, nearly a week) and after reading her nighttime stories, the shelf was back to being a disaster.


Here's one she picked for me to read to her.



This book belonged to her mother. There is no telling how many times I've read this book. And look what's on the inside cover:



Jennifer passed it on down to Brandon. And speaking of Brandon, this was one of his favorite books:




And Kaylee has it memorized, too. I just love children's books. And since I'm going to have another grandchild in December, it looks like I'll be adding more books to the book shelf. Luckily, my daughter and daughter-in-law enjoy children's books as much, if not more, than I do!
