I have awaited this moment! :) He did lesson day 75 yesterday and I was able to surprise him with a new book. :) We have of course borrowed library books and he has read those with me and he has read lots of sentences and stuff on the magnet board with me and in his phonics workbook. But this was exciting because he LOVES Eli's readers and to have his own was very exciting to him. :)
I like how they start out slow to build confidence and to allow the child to feel big and smart. I will keep everyone updated on the reader situation! :)
Elijah learned about the plot in a story yesterday and he had fun with that.
I thought I would post some updated pictures of our little turtles we adopted a year back in Dallas, Texas.
Matthew cut up this watermelon but he did it differently than normal. When he cut it in a circle shape he noticed this natural filagree pattern in the watermelon! Can you see it?
And this is a purple flower that stunned us all! We have a ivy like plant out back that blooms yellow. This one was there but we didn't know it! But there is a different vine on the trellis!
And of course I have some natural and free time outside to share. :) The boys are in the "creek" out back, it runs into a marshy body of water down the road. It was empty this day. :)
And here is Eli showing great brotherly love and helping Remy up the bank with a stick. :) I love these moments.
3 more days and we leave for VACATION!

It's so exciting when they start to read! Vicki's Landon was reading some words for us when he was here last time, and we all had so fun with it. Woo hoo about the new book!!!
Oh tell Landon, YAY!
Remy is going to love those readers! Lindsay has 2 left in the set and then she is done. She loves them and feels so big when she reads them.
That watermelon pattern is so cool. We bought one last week and it was so sweet and yummy. My girls love watermelon.
What a beautiful flower. I love the close up that you took. How amazing it looks. Maybe a type of clematis of some sort? Try looking around on this site and it may be on there somewhere if you would like to know what it is. http://www.homeofclematis.net/variety.htm
That photo of Eli helping Remy is precious. I love it.
Have fun in Disney!
Go Remy!!!

I have to reply to your question here hon. I didn't have an e-mail addy to send this to. We will still be living in Louisiana. I am not sure exactly where you are at, but we will be in a little town called DeQuincy. Way out in the boondocks. I swear I think that it is at the end of the world where we will be. Do you know of this little town? LOL!
