But we will get on the rest of that list soon....

Finished The Kite Runner. (I know I'm a little behind)
LOVED it.
Now I've started this.
Jared is reading this.
Colten this.
and Jack just checked out this and this....as he is a HUGE Robert McCloskey fan.
His favorite books are Blueberries for Sal and Make Way for Ducklings,
I have no idea why we've not read all his books already....
Anyway...
not much exciting here...but I'm SO enjoying this time with my guys.
Serious summer loving...
