Mother of Life, Mother of Loss: Curious George Visits the Library by Margaret & H.A. Rey

This blog is just about my life and mostly revolves around my son, Jamie. This blog is a combination of everything, whether it may be a new recipe I tried, a good freebie I found, something funny Jamie said, or feelings I'm having about life in general. There's little rhyme or reason. I'll never win any blogging awards, but I enjoy writing about our lives and I mostly do it for my son. It's so easy to forget moments over the years. I've got all these little tidbits of our life in print and I hope that someday Jamie can enjoy them.

I called this blog Mother of Life, Mother of Loss because of my issues with pregnancy loss and the joy of finally bringing this wonderful person into the world. Truly, I feel the pains of loss, but you won't see too much of that here. I am blessed and I am, above all else, a mother of life.

After all the years of infertility and loss, Matthew and I were blessed with a surprise pregnancy. We were pregnant with twins, but unfortunately, Baby A could not stay with us. Baby B grew into a healthy and happy baby girl that we named Bella Marie. We are so blessed to have two beautiful children.

Curious George Visits the Library by Margaret & H.A. Rey

I think we had better start a Curious George library at this house. Curious George definitely holds a top spot on the bookshelf and on Jamie's reading list. This is one of the books that Jamie's teacher brought him on her home visit.

When George visits the library, his curiosity gets him into to trouble, as usual. Taking too many books he heads out on a runaway book cart and crashes, leaving a huge mess to clean up. George always ends up on top, though. With the help of some children, George gets all the books put away. This time toting only his favorite books, George is issued a library card and he gets to take his books home to read.
