oh my steph! that last photo is sooooo darling. they all are really. creed still looks so little in the first two photos, but seeing that last one brought back memories of when i brought our second child home. after looking at how big creed looks next to ollie, i remembered the feelings of how my oldest (only 3 at the time) suddenly looked like a giant. i remember it made my heart swell and break all at the same time. they grow way too fast---and sometimes not fast enough.
I have a MA in children's literature and lead a book club of grownups who like to discuss children’s literature. What does this mean to all of you reading this, who may not be members of the book group? I want all of you to get something out of this blog too. ANY OF YOU ARE WELCOME TO READ ALONG WITH US. IN FACT I ENCOURAGE YOU TO! From now on, I won't just be posting our monthly reading lists, I will be posting at least a few discussion questions for each of our selections so even if you can't be present at our meetings, you can use the questions to prod some deeper thinking or you could even use them to start a discussion with your own children's literature book club. Hopefully the questions will also help the members who do come to our meetings be prepared. I also include reviews of the books I've been reading along with other kidlit news.

Those are some pretty wonderful options, all of them.
