We love books. Having books facing out helps keep them noticed and easier to find for a quick read. This formally unusable wall in between the children's bedrooms makes a great space for these vinyl gutter bookshelves. I didn't bother getting the end-caps, as each pair costs as much as a 10 ft piece of gutter. The end caps would make these a little more sturdy though. The kids love having their books out in a common area and in plain sight! Find these titles and more at r3844.myubam.com

Activity Cards Idea: Hole-punch the corners and use a tie-wrap to connect them or a key ring. The 50 Brain Games, $9.99, has 3 cards for the answer sheets, so I got to divide one box into three sets...great for sharing with the kids in the back seats this summer! Visit my website and search "activity cards", it'll give you lots of ideas. http://www.myubam.com/R3844 and please always click an open e-show, before shopping. There usually is at least one and it's name is "Jared's Fundraiser Mission Trip".

I'm sharing:
What a lovely little story to remind us that life really can be beautiful.It is not known who replied, but there is a beautiful soul working in the dead letter office of the US Postal Service.
Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter
Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey.. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so she dictated these words:
Dear God,
Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick. I hope you will play with her.. She likes to play with balls and to swim. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her You will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.
Love,
Meredith
We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it.. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.
Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith' in an unfamiliar hand...
Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies..' Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this note:
Dear Meredith,
Abbey arrived safely in heaven. Having the picture was a big help. I recognized Abbey right away. Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in, so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.
Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you. I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much. By the way, I'm easy to find, I am wherever there is love.
Love,
God

Sophie's Big Bed

Bedtime Stories Collection (4)
Sophie loves her crib.
But now, she has a new, big bed.
A very big bed.
“What makes this book so sweet to read to your toddler is Sophie, a strong little character who does not throw a fit about her choices. She just does it. The smile on her face is always one of pure happiness and her fearful looks are the same queasy ones adults never let out.
By using a bright pastel color pallet, writer/illustrator Tina Burke is allowing Sophie to express herself in a safe environment. The pictures are instantly identifiable, instantly connective. Kids will see themselves in Sophie and her animals, even if their rooms do not look like hers. Moreover, young children will identify with her situation of changing into a new bed. Few children really want to do it. But with Sophie as an example that perhaps, perhaps, transition can be easier.” - Family Time Magazine
"...helps toddlers make the transition from sleeping in a crib to sleeping in a bed. Sophie's Big Bed is one of those books that will be loved and treasured by both toddlers and parents." - Suite 101
"...a sweet end to an even sweeter story." - Curled Up Kids
"...must-have title for the toddler transitioning from crib to bed. - Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast
"The text is simple enough for a beginning reader. This is a good book for parents dealing with that all-important move for their child." - Puget Sound Council
"...simple text, engaging illustrations soothe the way in this life passage." - Women Day by Day

iheartfaces photo challenge - Let Them Be Little
Here is my entry for this week's challenge, Let Them Be Little. On vacation in Cape Cod, I picked up a package of punching balloons. You'd think it was the greatest toy EVAH. They played and played. This image is not the best quality. I chose to share it because of their expressions. They reveal so much about them.

I Heart Faces - Week 40 - Oct. 14 - Excited! -
Excited = All photos entered this week need to feature a person in them that is clearly excited and enthusiastic about something. The emotion should be easily conveyed when we view the photo.
Is this shot for the pink week? Or excited week? I think definately Excited! Vista's 'scarf princess dance outfit' is a big hit in our house. She was spinning around and so excited.

Fiona in her blue tie-dye shirt, playing in the blue water area of Legoland. I like how the afternoon sun is shining on her face.
I had a lot of "blue" choices, including "blue" faces,( not just the color blue). But this one really says "BLUE" to me.

I Heart Faces -Week 37 - Sept. 22, 2009 - "Completely Candid" photo challenge
I have more posed shots than unposed shots. If a person sees the camera, then it's not "completely candid" right? That's a tough challenge. Here is my completely candid shot. While on vacation this summer, we had the kids put on their bathing suits and cool off in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. The fountains shoot up out of the ground in a somewhat unpredictable way. My two year old was frightened. My husband Jack, is hugging her for comfort and protection. I just love this shot how daddy is a solid protector of my precious with all the spouts of water shooting up around her and the laughter looks on people in the background.

I have learned that my digital photos sometimes do need a little enhancing.
Photo # 1, The Before, I had just started using a digital camera. Vista, age 1.
I think this week might be my chance to express my feelings about a few things. I almost always prefer the image that is closest to the original. I do not care for over-modified, over-stylized, over-processed images. WYSIWYG, or What You See Is What You Get. That's my motto. I will never win a contest at I Heart Faces, because I do not alter my photos very much. A little contrast difference, a little dodging or burning, but not much more.
Whew. I got that off my chest. OK, now to submit some photos for this week. I have learned that my digital photos sometimes do need a little enhancing. Photo #1 is from 2005, and photo #2 is from August 2009.

Our family vacations include self-family-portraits. I set the camera to timer and run into the shot before the button goes off. Just kidding about the mafia in the title. This one is from Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona. I love photographing old abandoned buildings and such along side of the road and this seemed like a great place for a family-self-portrait. Unfortunately, we didn't see the 'do not climb on this' sign until we were done with our photo shoot.

Huntington Beach, California, June 30, 2009. I like how three of my children are all doing their own thing, in their own world. The stripes of color, sky, dry sand, wet sand, water. And the pink bucket just sitting alone.

Last summer, my two youngest were playing in the sandbox while I was snapping pictures. I love their sandy feet. Makes me want to squish my toes in the sand right along with them. This foot belongs to Fiona. She was one and a half when this shot was taken.
