About a month ago, when we just couldn't cram another book onto either kid's many book shelves, Reed set out to choose the books he no longer wanted in his room any longer. After that process was completed, Amy went through that very large pile of books and picked the ones that she wanted to keep. She also methodically went through her books to see which ones she didn't need any longer. It was a long process!
The end result was a huge pile of books. I choose many of them and packed them up to mail to cousins Larson, Tensley, Blaine and Harmony in Wyoming, and Adlen, Ayla and Leo in Montana.
But before any of that,
I had to go through the books. There were so many that I couldn't bear the idea of parting with! How could my babies have already outgrown these favorite books?
Rainbow Frogs? The Daddy Book? What Makes a Rainbow? Old friends, I'm so sad to see you in the giveaway pile! So I rescued those and other books. I know I can't save
every book that I think is special to our family, but I'm going to save more than I probably should. I hope that one day these books will end up in the hands of our grandchildren.
