Happy Sunday!
I wish I could blog more often on our precious bundle of joy but it is just a monthly update every time my kids come over for a visit. I wish I could say how much I love discovering something new that Nate has learned in a month – new words, new things that he has recently discovered too, the minute or two we spend on the phone saying hi and hello to each other, seeing him learning how to use a spoon on his own and feeds himself with the Yaya’s help. They are the things that make me smile although sometimes I wonder at the thought that he is really growing up fast. He’ll be turning two in three months. I smiled when Nissa said that we still have our birthdays to celebrate (hers in September and mine in October) before even thinking of celebrating Nate’s birthday. I also smile at the thought that when Nate is old enough to read and see my blog he would appreciate all the pictures and posts that I uploaded about him. He earned four blog followers today, not that it matters much but it makes me proud that some people like what I share with them. I wish I could continue writing about his growing up years.
The BER months are almost here. I can hear Christmas songs playing over the radio. We celebrate the longest Christmas season in the world (I think) that starts at the beginning of September and ends way beyond the celebration of Three Kings. I love Christmas, it is my most blogged about topic every year. I am looking forward to the season because no matter how hard life is and how commercialized it has become, it is still the happiest one we have here. Have I told you that I also collect books with Christmas stories?
How was your Sunday?
Dreams And Escapes 
Lovely post about the joy of family, birthdays, and Christmas Arlene.
Our Sunday is not going so well. We are experiencing the tail end of Hurricane Bertha. Heavy rain since first light, and it is also very windy. A planned family gathering for later has had to be cancelled, as nobody can get here, due to roads closed by bad weather.
Best wishes from Norfolk, Pete.

Thank you so much Pete. I am sorry to hear about the hurricane in your area. I saw some photos about it while searching for what is happening in Iraq. Be safe!

My Sunday was a hurricane! Lol.
That’s really sweet — a collection of books with Christmas stories! I surely hope your grandson and other future grandchildren goes through your precious collection of books someday. => Have a great week!

I am trying to build a small library for Nate, buying books for when he starts reading. Children’s books are more expensive than my Booksale find 🙂
