QuietBook for nephew's upcoming 2nd birthday

Closed, button closure on the right

 Ball moves on the ribbon from the bat up to the sky

 No moveable parts on the eyes page, but on the scoops page the 2 lower scoops have snaps and are removable, but held on with a string.

 The shapes under the flaps are rectangle, triangle, oval and star.
 The flowers have velcro and the 'stems' hold them in the vase.

 The raindrops are movable on the ribbon.  The 'oreos' are held inside the 'cookie jar' by ribbon.

 The crayons don't come out, but they are only attached at the bottom at the crayon box.  The carrots don't come out, but you can water them :)
 And finally, a bead counting rows.
I have all the strings and ribbons so that eventho the parts are removable they can't be lost.  You know how 2yo are... LOL!

WINDY night and a well dressed boy

She tried to go to sleep, got up not too much later, tried to sleep in our bed (which NEVER happens!) but couldn't cuz daddy's snoring was worse than the wind, so she ended up on the sofa around midnight.  She stayed there till about 4am she said. (wish she would have woken me up since I was on another sofa keeping her 'company'.)


Christian hadn't had me take his "dress blues" picture in quite some time so after last week's meeting he asked me to before he took it all off. Current rank: Cadet Chief Master Sergeant, title at the squadron is 1st Sergeant.  The red cord indicates that he is a member of the Cadet Advisory Committee.
