Summer Reading
We are big fans of reading around here.
And I have wonderful memories of summer reading program at the library when I was a child.
I have enthusiastically led Little Guy into the stories in hundreds of books, as the summer reading program contest motivates me! :)
But now I'm curious. How does your summer reading program work?
Is it hours read? or pages read? or books read?
Do you list each book once? or as many times as you read it?
Are there prizes along the way? or only at the end? or both?
Are the prizes worth it? (A mom's idea of worth it includes "not going to fill up the house with junk," so I'd really appreciate coupons for food or activities ... or books. :) )
Our library has dozens of names on the wall of those who started, but fewer with stars (one star and trinket per 30 books read; max 3 stars and trinkets). Have you ever heard of a maximum in summer reading?!? (Thankfully we can continue to fill out logs toward the [unadvertised] "Most books read in your age group" prize.) All who reach the 90 max are entered into a drawing for one big prize at the end. And, at the end, readers can come and pick out one book for each star they earned (I guess that's why there's a max).

Last
The other day we caravaned to the bank in the next town (pop. 800) after breakfast, on Jim's way to the farm.
We had one more paper to notarize. Is it the last?!? We are hopeful. :)
I sort of wish I had kept a log over the past 5+ years of all the phone calls, appointments, forms, fingerprints, and notarized forms we have completed. On the other hand, I'm glad we didn't, because it would be overwhelming. Let's just say that our home study agency has two 2" thick paper files on us. Then there are a couple attorneys that have files on us, a couple adoption agencies, and a referral agency. In addition to the files that we have! Even our pediatrician has two thick files of medical records from hospitals related to birth & a NICU stay.
But, now we're nearing the finish line! Hurray!!!
When the attorney's assistant called to say they needed this final form notarized, she apologized, saying it's often hard for people to find a notary, and if the attorney's office had planned ahead, they could have notarized it for us when we saw each other a few weeks ago at the interim hearing.
Ironically, Little Guy's new school registration packet required one form to be notarized also. The director was also apologetic when she explained that she knows it's a hassle. I assured her that we have had many forms notarized over the past five years, and it's not hard at all for us to breeze in to our hometown bank. The hardest part is ensuring that their hours of business overlap with a time when Jim is not wearing farm clothes. :)
After this one form we had notarized the other day, I think all that's left is showing up in court for the big day (!) and then visiting the Social Security office to apply for a Social Security number, after we receive the new birth certificate.
{Huge sigh of relief!!}

I'll fly away
One Thanksgiving shortly after we were married, Jim and I went to Georgia where my dad and his two sisters and several other family members gathered. On Thanksgiving Day, someone initiated taking pictures of all sorts of groupings ... the siblings, siblings with spouses, all the cousins, etc.
The photos of the three siblings and of the three siblings with their spouses are now treasured memories, because three of the six have now flown away to their celestial home.
This summer at a reunion of Jim's dad's family, all six of the siblings and the six spouses were in attendance. Someone initiated taking pictures of the siblings and the siblings with spouses. The oldest is 91, and the youngest is probably mid-70s. What a heritage they represent! And what a treasure that they're all still alive!
At some point in the photo shoot (with a dozen cousins vying for prime camera locations to get just the right picture), this group of 75-91 year olds broke out in, "I'll fly away!" And one day they will, but for now, we'll enjoy times we get to spend with them and all we can still learn from them.
Some glad morning when this life is o'er,
I'll fly away;
To a home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
Chorus
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
2.
When the shadows of this life have gone,
I'll fly away;
Like a bird from prison bars has flown,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)
Chorus
3.
Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away;
To a land where joy shall never end,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)

One Morning in the Midwest
The green light turned on at 7 AM, and Little Guy was ready to come downstairs.
At 7.30 his speech therapist called us on FaceTime, and we spent the next 60 minutes "doing our work." When it was over, and we had already said our goodbyes, he asked her, "M---, how is your mother doing?" Needless to say, both the therapist and I were very touched by his concern. [We had been praying for her mother's heart surgery last week.]
I have no idea where the next 90 minutes went, but by 10 AM we were at the park ... with all of our ride-on toys to share with our friends.
9 children (and later 2 more). 3 moms (and later 1 grandma). Sharing (and learning to share). Playing with chalk. Races. Digging up the tire "mulch" and transporting it in the back of the John Deere ride-on. Bubbles. Swings. And for Little Miss, smiles and happiness as she sat in her stroller.
Tremendously relaxing (seriously). Perfect temp. Warm (but not yet the intense heat that is on its way). Nice shade from mature trees.
Pleasant conversation. Following up on concerns shared last week at play group, catching up on life that's happened this past week. Looking around to make sure I could see Little Guy.
It was a good summer morning.

Harkening back to days of yore
When I told a friend that Little Guy has started reading (rather, that I have started reading to him) the Early Reader series of The Boxcar Children, she enthusiastically suggested that we get a library card for the town (pop: 800) five miles away, because they have all the Boxcar Children books. So, we did!
$10 a year for a family ($8 for an individual?!), 5 book limit per person. I think that translates to 20 books per checkout for a 4-person family for $10 versus 5 books for $8. "I'll take $10 for the family, please."
This library is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind (as opposed to ours, which I use primarily as a pick-up spot for books I've requested online via the regional library system). It's volunteer run, not part of a regional library system, and not taxpayer-funded. It's open four days a week, just a few random hours each day, and staffed by older women with white hair. There's not a computer in sight, but I did spy a typewriter cover (I assume there's a typewriter underneath).
I filled out my registration form, and membership card (which expires in a year), and then took 6 books to the desk (They're all for Little Guy, but I used one of my check-out credits). :)
The white-haired lady with kind eyes went ahead and took the library cards out of the pocket for me, and pushed them back across the desk, reminding me that I needed to sign them. Sign a library card?! Wow, it's been awhile. :)
I also spied a bonafide card catalog along the back wall!
I felt liked we had traveled back in time a few (or several) decades. I think the volunteer librarian-of-the-day felt like she had traveled 5 or 6 decades back to when she had small children.
I think that trips to this library could become a peaceful part of our routine. I smile thinking we expanded our horizons, not by going to the zoo or splash pad or children's museum, but by adding another library to our repertoire.

One Morning in Maine
Little Guy's green clock is not working (because it needs a new battery and we've lost our tiny screwdriver), and he's waking up
between 6 or 7, going downstairs and not finding me. This morning he
didn't even bother going downstairs, just marched into our room and
said, "Let's go read some books!" At 6.30.
We read One Morning in Maine, a 63-page book by Robert McCloskey ... for the 5th time. It feels like the 500th. :)
Last week we found the Boxcar Children in an Early Reader version. We read book 1 seven times before I secretly returned it to the library. We've read book 2 four times in two days.
One of the pages in the 36-page registration packet for his new school outlined the responsibilities of parents and what we are promising to do by enrolling him. Things like provide transportation, ensure prompt arrival, attend parent-teacher conferences, provide snack once every two months for the entire school, read his folder every night, etc. AND read to him each night. We had to sign our names that we would do that. If they only knew!
In related news, we have two books on broken arms and x-rays. LG just told me that Little Miss almost broke his arm just now. I hope he's not enamored with the thought of having a broken bone!!

Baby Gear
We are blessed with hand-me-downs. The other day I returned 8 or 9 boxes of clothes to the home of the little girl who first wore them. The same day I received 3 more boxes of clothes from the family that is in line ahead of us for using that girl's clothes.
After Little Miss was born, I was able to pass on several garbage bags of Little Guy's clothes to a family we know who was expecting a boy, after their first child being a girl. They didn't want years' worth of clothes, so I've been slowly selling the remaining items on online garage sales.
I already wrote about strollers, all of which are in use, amazingly.
The exersaucer, activity mat, and swing will soon be finding new homes. Need one? :) (Some smaller items have already been donated.) Although this mama's heart is sad to know that that era is over, my "I want to purge all the things" side is really enjoying passing things on. :)
And then there are the pack 'n' plays. Yes, that is plural.
The first one we bought is spending the summer in Wisconsin, so we don't have to haul it back and forth each time we go for weekend getaways this summer. The second one is at my parents' home, where we had it delivered from Walmart in advance of our first visit when Little Guy was a baby. We've already used it for five visits of a week each, so that's about $1 per night, so far, and we still hope that Little Miss will get to use it several weeks over the next few years. It's definitely saved on packing space!
The third one we bought for Little Miss to use while we were waiting out-of-state to bring her home. The owners of the house we were staying in had told us in advance that we could leave baby items to use for their future grandchildren, so there it remains. And the final one is in our living room. We haven't used it much the past few months. But as LM becomes more mobile, I imagine we'll be using it more often, to keep her safe when I'm occupied.

On the Move
Little Guy was just a month or two old when I bought our first stroller. I thought it was a great deal on Craigslist. Maybe it was. It was outdated, but good quality, roomy, sturdy, yet folds compactly like an umbrella stroller. Inglesina Zippy. (Old.) $50.
Then at a garage sale I found a Jeep umbrella stroller for $7. It had only been used once. Great purchase! Especially when we were packing for trips and had little space. The mesh netting in the back started ripping after a year of solid use.
When we were replacing it, we bought our only full-price stroller. I wanted to get the same kind a friend has (Summer Infant 3D Lite) but made a mistake and purchased the Chicco Echo. It has served us well for two years, but I regret spending that much money on it.
Last fall, as we were hoping to adopt again, I started stalking online garage sales for double strollers. One Saturday, I drove 30 miles to buy one that was a tad dated, but in good shape and at a good price. Alas, it wouldn't fit in our trunk. So, I returned home empty-handed. (Many other people were waiting in line to buy it, so the seller was not left out in the cold.)
In time, I saw a late model, barely-used double stroller for sale 5 miles from us. I immediately went, and upon trying to fit it into our trunk, learned that if I took off both cup holders and one canopy, it would fit. I paid my $35 and thanked the Lord for providing! Graco Ready2Grow Click Connect Sit 'n' Stand Double Stroller. Definitely the best value of all four!
We still use all three, depending on the situation. I say the double stroller is my insurance policy, when I need to guarantee containment for both children. My other travel helper is my Ergo, which we have gotten TONS of use out of. Worth every penny!
I bought it, while still out-of-state with Little Guy, waiting on our two states to approve our bringing him home. Jim had flown back home to work while we waited. I was in a time share with LG, and moving the next day to the home of friends. I didn't know how I could convey all our luggage and baby items from the timeshare unit to the car *and* keep an eye on LG. So, I braved my first trip with him, drove to Target, purchased the Ergo & newborn insert off the shelf, went back to the timeshare, watched the "how to wear" video dozens of times, and then carried him the multiple trips to load the car the next day.
Since then, he's been on many hikes, thanks to the Ergo. And that's how I used to go grocery shopping (wearing him). Little Miss traveled through airports coming home in the Ergo, and now she has started going on hikes, thanks to the Ergo! I've also found that it's sometimes easier for LG to ride in the umbrella stroller & LM in the Ergo. So, we use lots of different combinations to get around.

Triage
I used to have a housecleaning system that worked for me. Now I do triage.
Are there no more places to sit in the living room? Well, I'll fold some laundry.
Can I find no clothes to wear? Okay, I'll wash some laundry.
Is there no more counter space? Or no more bottles? Must be time to wash dishes.
The struggle is real.

This week Little Guy is reading (asking to have read to him):
One Morning in Maine
and
I Am Helen Keller
... on constant repeat, alternating between them. (We're up to 120 for summer reading, averaging 30 a week.)
And, his friend's "I Go to School" book. We took 15 pictures on our school tour yesterday and can't wait to make our "Little Guy Goes to School" picture book!!
Little Guy is watching Baby Einstein ... a few minutes of peace ... until the tantrum of turning it off.
Little Guy is making in his kitchen "something yummy!!" A little baking soda, a little caffeine, and some mozzarella. Oh, and some butter thrown in at the last minute. With butter it MUST be yummy, right?! And, I wonder who has said in his presence, "I need some caffeine." :)
And as always he's taking care of his pigs, moving them from pen to pen, and making sure they're fed ... and checking in with me to see where all the workers on the farm are at this moment.
