Fall


Another thing I love about Fall

Children's authors love to publish books for the Fall. I assume for the Christmas season and to get their books out in time to submit them for awards. There are stacks for new books out right now. Of course one of them has to be about Elephant and Piggie. Also out, new titles by Kate Dicamillo, Laura Numeroff, Norton Juster, David Shannon, Graeme Base, Doreen Cronin, Mark Rogalski, Margaret Wild, and maybe I should stop there before my post gets to be ten pages long. I love a well illustrated book...

Josiah had a party too
























































Come Clay with Me

Adaya had a birthday party at Come Clay with Me. I won a party certificate at an auction. So we invited several little friends. And when the youngest ones couldn't make it, we invited a few that were a wee bit older than Adaya. We painted tiles, ate, visited, had ducky cup cakes, opened a few presents, a created a small plate with our finger prints.
