Horses at the Library

Me, Carter and a white horse

Last Wednesday, before we left for Saint Simon's Island, we decided to go to the Cumming library to check out a few books and CDs for the trip. When we got out of the car we got a lovely surprise, five horses in a field by the library parking lot. I walked my daughter to the field to take a look at the horses. She wasn't frightened, but she didn't know what to think about these majestic creatures.

Dead Phone

Yesterday while my Klaus took Carter to go shopping my phone died. Quel Domage! My phone, the device that we must have with us at all times, dead. I kept thinking what I am I going to do? All of my contacts and data are in this phone, not to mention over 200 photos of my sweet little Carter. Gone. Did I cry? Of course. Not because of the phone, but because of the pictures. This was quite a lesson to me. Make sure you back up all your photos from your phone in case it dies on you.

Little Miss

Little Miss trying to read Mama's book

My sweet little girl is only two days away from being 20 months old and already she is a lover of books. As a former librarian, I cannot tell you how much this pleases me. It seems since I brought her home I have been reading to her, and not just picture and board books. I have read a few classics to her as well, they include Alice in Wonderland, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, and The Wizard of Oz. Each of these I have read over several months while she and I ate breakfast. It has worked well. At the end of each book, Carter claps as if she is anxious for another book. This is definately one of my favorite parts of being a mom.We are currently reading one of my personal favorites for fall, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
