Visit with my Aunt


My Aunt Peggy, my dad's sister came down yesterday with her grandson for a visit. It was so nice to get caught up! And Cameron and Bennett hit it off right away! We played at our house for a bit then went and ate lunch at McDonalds. It was so fun to watch them interact and hear them crack each other up. It reminded me of when my cousin Andrea (Cameron's mom) and I were little.  Hopefully next time we can plan it better so she can come too. Here are some fun pics of our visit and one for old time sake.

My current obsession

Raising Cain, The Emotional Lives of Boys. Read it, just do it. It's only 258 pages long and it will change how you view and interact with boys. If you have a boy in your life, whether you're a parent, teacher, mentor or friend, you need to read this.
"...But as their manuscript progressed, Kindlon and Thompson realized a simple "how-to" would not do. "In the end," they write, "we found that the best advice we had to offer was simply to understand boys as they truly are ­ rather than as they appear or as we wish them to be. Our deepest wish is to pull aside the curtain boys so tenaciously draw around themselves and offer you a look inside their hearts and minds. If we succeed, we hope that you will see more clearly the ways in which our culture conspires to limit and undermine their emotional lives. We hope you will understand boys better, and above all, we hope you will enjoy them more"
