Four books and a sweater

Or, to put it simply, a Yarn Along. Why don't you join in, too? The Rhythm of Family: Discovering a Sense of Wonder through the Seasons - meh.

Quiet Moments

There is a sweet brotherly bond amidst this tangled mess. Its hard to see in the jumbled heap of legs and legos, hands and books, barefeet and pillows and blankets - but its there.
