We LOVE books!!!
I am so excited about this!!!
While the kids were together at the Peterson Family Reunion...
My Mom pulled out the books they had stored at the Homestead...
There aqre so many more at the house, too!
My parents have accumulated MANY MANY books during their parenting lifetime.
Well, between us kids we picked and plucked the books we loved and the books we remembered from our childhood.
It worked out well...I think everyone went away very happy!
I decided I DO judge a book by the cover!
I remembered SO MANY books...but just by their cover, and the artwork inside...not remembering what at all they were about!
Madi helped me and we picked out some VERY cool books...
Madi was very excited when I pulled the boxes out of the car and today she helped me sort them.
One pile for kids books.
One pile for Mom and Dad books.
Then she had a pile titles 'Madi's books'.
She is one happy girl.
Those 4 stacks in the forefront are {Madi's} books!
We are excited to start reading!

Hip Hip Hooray for Books! I am so glad that everyone was happy with all the wonderful books we got! Sadly, I was unable to bring home all of those wonderful books that were picked out for me! Hopefully either Mom and Dad can bring them when they come for Lily's baptism. Or else we'll take a few more home when we come next year! Ah, the disadvantage of a small, fuel-efficient car!
