And Speaking of Birthdays .... Benny is One!

By

One year ago today, in just a few minutes to be exact, our absolutely precious first grand baby came peeing into this world at just 6 1/2 pounds. Bennett Matthew Werths was born a little over three weeks early on August 22nd and our lives were forever changed.



There is nothing like being a grandparent. Nothing.




Benny is a hoot! We have enjoyed him so much this year watching him grow and learn.



He is such a little copycat. If you do it, so does he. Just yesterday I was talking and apparently interrupting him and he yelled to me and then put his finger to his mouth to say "shhhhh". I had just been doing the same thing to him at the library (not yelling, but shushing ... library voices, people!).



My boy loves to give me kisses, shares my coffee with me ("More!"), and steals my heart every time I give him a bottle to put him to sleep.


And that hair. It's awesome.


Benny, Nana loves you so very much! Thank you for bringing such unspeakable joy into my life.


Muah!

ABCya

By
Eli's reading resource teacher shared a website with me yesterday that I would like to pass along. It's called ABCya . There are separate educational sections with fantastic games for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. I browsed the 2nd grade level, and it includes age-appropriate games about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Geometry, Patterns, Mouse Manipulation, Art and Holiday games. There are lots and lots of fun and creative games for children to play. They are fun, but oh, so educational. Eli's favorite, in his short time playing it, was Create a Car . A lot of the games also have Apps available for purchase (99 cents for most of them) for the iPad and iPhone. I have been looking for another free website for games similar to Starfall , for some time. I think I have found it. I can feel confident having Eli and Brynne play these games.

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

Last Child in the Woods ~ Chapters 1-4

By
Welcome to our book study of Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv. To be honest, I have no idea what this "study" is going to look like. I imagine that when we get together I will post about all of the things that caught my eye. And I would ask that you leave a comment, or a link to your own blog post in the comment, about what caught yours. This isn't anything formal, ladies, just a place to talk about what we have read. I have now read the first four chapters of Last Child in the Woods two times. It is just so good. Several things have specifically hit me deep, but in general I just realized that "times, they are a changin'." Things aren't the way they were when we were kids. Chapter 1. Gifts of Nature ~ "When I see birches bend to left and right ... I like to think some boy's been swinging them." ~ Robert Frost What is your definition of nature? What feelings, visions, senses does it conjure up? For me, it's not a
