A few favorite books



Ethan LOVES reading books. Here are a few recent favorites:
  • Mouse Mess by Linnea Riley
  • Miss Bindergarten Goes to Kindergarten
  • Llama Llama Red Pajama
  • The Lonely Moose and Carrot Soup by John Segal
  • The Wizard by Jack Prelewtsky (kind of weird but Ethan wants us to read it about twice a day)
  • Grumpy Bird by Jeremy Tankard
  • LMNOPeas (a alphabet book with silly peas in costume)
  • Truck Duck
  • The Paterson Puppies and the Rainy Day by Leslie Patricelli
  • Any Richard Scary book (Postman Pig is currently in the book bin)
  • The Hairy Maclary books (a collection of books about a Kiwi doggie introduced to us by our friends Kate and Benji!)

I am so excited for the day when Ethan can read the words himself. What a treat to be able to teach him how to do one of the most pleasurable things on earth - read a good book.

Amoskeag Rugby

Jeremy played for a new rugby team this spring - NH's Division 1 team Amoskeag Rugby Club. I think he really loved playing at a more competitive level, meeting some new guys, and getting out of the house in the early spring, when the New England weather can really wear on the spirit.

Ethan and I only made it to one game, but by a stroke of luck it was at an elementary school, so there was plenty of space for Ethan to play.



Nana was also able to join us
and take a few awesome pictures, as always.




Thanks, Nana!
