Book Review: When God Created My Toes

So it seems all I have time for lately is book reviews. Life is flying by thats forsure. Even my book reviews have been brief. Oh Well, I will catch up soon.

When God Created My toes is a great little rhyming book. The two and three year old I read it to were laughing the entire time at the rhymes.

The illustrations were colorful and fun. Overall it was a fun book and one we will read again.

I recieved this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.

Book Review: God Gave Us Two

I've always wondered about how to tell my daughter about a new baby addition to our family when that time approaches (No...we are not pregnant right now). I read this book and am going to choose to keep it to myself until I need to use it for that reason. God Gave Us Two is a great book.....We have many in the God Gave Us series and this one again is a great way to teach young children about some major things. Little bear is getting a baby sister or brother and at first isn't to crazy about the idea. Towards the end of the book she decides that being a big sister wouldn't be so bad. She asks many questions about it and in the end is excited. When mama and papa come back from having the baby she finds out she is a proud big sister to a baby brother and sister. A loving story about becoming a big sister. A great addition to our collection. I recieved this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this Review.

Baby Kody Day 77

Quick update and post……I have been so behind editing pictures that I just needed to post what I had and move on.  I am missing about 10 days between day 44 and 54 and then some after day 65…..but I will find them and quick sneak them in at somepoint.  But moving on.

Things have been crazy around here.  We’ve been busy with the “daycare” or if it’s considered daycare.  Baby Kody and his sister are the newest addition.  Baby Kody is 2 weeks old…sleeps most of the day….and likes to be swaddled!  Easy baby.

It also gives me quite the  chance to snap some pictures of a newborn.  This pose has been one that I have wanted to try and get better at.  My first couple attempts were no go’s.  Finally I got it, but I couldn’t get the paci away from him.  We will keep trying.

Rylee Update

We officially got rid of the pseudomonas after just one cycle of Tobi Nebs…..Lucky us.  We do however still have a cough, which they treated with bactrim…..But soon after the flu hit the house and we were down and out for about a week.  Rylee is finally recovered and starting to eat again.  She has been quite timid with food.  Her cough is still present, however her lungs sound crystal clear…so we are heading to the allergist to see if that could be the cause of the drainage/runny nose(clear)/cough….Hopefully we can figure something out so we can start enjoying this nice weather.

As for nice weather…..It was here all week long…Will continue tomorrow, but then we drop back down to the 30’s….Total bummer but hopefully in a week or so we can have warmer temps and we can get out of this house.  I am really hoping it happens soon and the weather guy is wrong..

So busy busy busy and lack of posts on my part.  It’s just life here.  Crazy busy

A week of pictures – We took in story time at the museum and colored with chalk, played with friend Nolan in the music room one day, took pictures of Baby Delaney, Played outside, Ate spaghetti, Climbed a rock wall, and flew to outer-space.  Whew!  The pictures aren’t in the exact day order, but I am so far behind that I am just trying to get a picture posted from each day!

Book Review: God Gave Us So Much

I have been given the chance to review the book God Gave Us So Much. I have reviewed a variety of the books in the "God Gave Us" Series and must say that I love them each. They are a great reminder of what God has done and broken down into a simple version that even a 2 year old can understand.



God Gave Us So Much is a Limited Edition Treasurery that consists of three of the books from the series: God Gave us the World, God Gave Us Love, and God Gave Us Heaven. It also includes an attached ribbon to mark your place if reading to little ones.



The stories are all wrote from the perspective of little cub. She mainly asks a variety of questions in which the adult in the story always answers and explains how God has given us the things.



The illustrations are bright and cheery and the children enjoy looking at them. The 4 year old I read the story to took the book immediately after and re-told each story.



I really enjoyed the story God Gave Us Heaven. I feel that children do not always grasp the idea of heaven and what happens when a person dies. This story however explains it in a very simple manner that still keeps the gloriousness of Heaven alive. This book would be a great story to have around when having to help a child greive a loss or preparing them for a major loss in their lives.



Overall this book is a great asset to our collection.

Baby Kasey – Day…..Who knows

 

This is baby Kasey.  Rylee screamed to take baby Kasey home with her when we left his house.  She settled for a picture.

This is day something and sometime this week I will rummage through my pictures, edit a few, and post the remainder days to catch up.  This picture was taken on Saturday while visiting this little man.

So Recently this 365 day challenge has been kicking my behind.  I am still trudging away at it, just get behind at times.  I am determined to catch up at least once a week (most weeks).
