K
I think some people are excited about you coming home. This is what your Aunt Kristi wrote on her blog today.
So we are packed, except for my carry on bag. This was done over the weekend, but really most of it has been on the dining room table for a bit (since December). After we zipped the last bag, I looked at your Dad and told him we didn't pack you any books. Your Dad felt the cloth, textured book would be more than adequate for your needs. I was able to squeeze in a board book into a bag, but it was bugging me.
On the way home from school yesterday, I shared this with your aunt Courtney as we drove across town. She agreed that two books wouldn't be enough, it might be okay for you, but we might go a little crazy with only two books. This is where I had my epiphany moment. I have a Nook. So I have downloaded you some books to get us through. At the same time, the girl scout in me was disappointed in myself.
I have thought about a lot of stuff since beginning this journey. I have made many lists of what we would take for the second trip. I have not thought about what the first book will be I read to you. This is important stuff. This could make or break your love of books. How will you become the bibliophile you need to be to do your library justice, unless we start you off right? This is pressure. (Okay, really it is just something else for me to worry/think/ponder about.)
Love,
Mom
I am open to suggestion for K's first book. If you have one, please leave it in the comment section.

Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb? We love that one because we get to do lots of movement with it and it rhymes. Also, it has lots of monkeys, which is always good. Even if this is not the first book, I strongly recommend it! Have fun, Mommy!! No matter what you choose, it will be great!
"I'll love you forever!" :)
um, duh - Timothy Goes to School ;)
What about Noah's Ark? "K" is a gift to all of the family from God. Tell him the wonderful stories of people who found God's everlasting love. God found him for you--he is your rainbow of promise.
Oh, I just watched the Dixie Chicks video. Tears and more tears.
Love and kisses to all three of you.
Z is for Zamboni
Either Good Night Moon, or The Rescuers, or I love you this much!

Whatever you pick will be perfect and special because he will hear his mother's voice. Take turns reading pages between you and Luc. :) Right now Ava is partial to anything by Sandra Boyton, particularly the Belly Button Book. She smiles when we read the "hippo" word for belly button, bee po. Hugs,prayers and love to all 3 of you.
