Our Afternoon At The Library

On Friday, the first day of spring, Grace was excited to wear her spring coat for the very first time. We didn't exactly have spring-like temperatures outside so Grace ended up wearing lots of layers under her coat including a onesie, two shirts and two pairs of pants! Grace's spring coat made its first public appearance at our local library. We decided it would be fun to go to our library to read and check out some books about spring. Grace and Jack had a great time looking through all of the new books that our library has to offer. Grace chose several books to bring home with us. Grace also chose some great books for Jack too!
We are planning on visiting our library once per week. Weekly visits to the library will provide Grace and Jack with lifelong learning and literacy skills and valuable opportunities to experience the enjoyment of reading and the excitement of discovering new knowledge and works of the imagination!

There is nothing quite as enjoyable as our Public Libraries! Uncle Adam and I were having a conversation last week about how special they are. With the difficult times across the country, isn't it one of the most wonderful places to visit...for free!
Jack and Grace have their own library of treasured book at home but visiting their Public Library and seeing books that are new to them is terrific. Having a library card and teaching them the responsibilities of choosing books, caring for them, reading them and then returning them will begin Grace and Jack on another learning path. Poppy and I can't wait to see what they choose. Can we go to visit when we come up?
We LOVE, LOVE Our Little Book Worms,
Maddy and Poppy

PS~It is all about layering this time of year!! Grace and Jack look as cute as bugs in a rug at the library!

Grace, I love you and I love the library. We can look at books together when you come to my house.
Hugs and kisses,

Got Gracie, Jack & Eve?
