Here are Big D’s and W’s lists. Big D’s List 1. Inheritance(last book of the Eragon Series) by Christopher Paolini . 2. Harry Potter Series by J.K.Rowlings . I know these books have been around awhile and to tell the truth we put off reading them due to differing opinions about them. Big D’s teacher this year had the books and so after […]
Today I will list my husband’s favorites for the year. As we were going through his list, I keep thinking that I should have put a few of his on my list and he liked a few that I had put on mine. My Husband’s Top 11 (Somehow He had 11 on his list and I didn’t know which one […]
One hobby that our family all enjoys is reading good books. As the children have grown older, it has been fun for us to all read some of the same books.

Tonight we had a good bye party for my principal who is leaving this week. As my fellow teachers crowded into our living room, we laughed, cried, remembered, and deep down some of us are still thinking why.
