My Favorite Summer Reads


Kyle's abdominal injury was worse today, so he tried to play baseball , but ended up sitting out most of the game. Nathan and I didn't even go to Hemet. I did just get back from taking him to the Dr, and she thinks it is just a muscle pull. She told him as long as his testicles aren't swollen or there isn't blood in his urine or poop he should be okay in a few days. You should have seen the look on his face when she said that...too funny!!!

This is a photo of my favorite summer reads. Many of you know that I'm always reading many books at one time. Usually How-To, Decorating, Cooking, or that sort of book. If you haven't read "The Last Lecture" do yourself a favor and read it. It's a fantastic book, and really easy to read. I finished it in less than 2 days. Also, I really loved "Busy But Balanced." It's actually a library book, but I'm going to order it for my home library. One more recommendation, I bought at least 8 books on puppy care, and this one is by far the best. Oh ya, Nathan and I are reading "Despereaux" aloud. I went to a workshop this past year on how important it is to read aloud to kids, even when they're old enough to read themselves. He reads a page, then I read a page...or two. It's great for his fluency. "Despereaux" is a movie that is coming out in January. It's fun for us to read the book and then see the movie together. We did the same thing with "Night at the Museum." He and Kyle are both awesome readers. Kyle is now doing his summer reading for his accelerated English class..."Animal Farm." He is not enjoying it.

Humm -- I doubt Kyle would think discussing his private parts on a computer blog was too funny!!! Glad he's okay though!!!

Tell Kyle that I hope everything 'down there' stays healthy and I'm glad he's okay!
