Today we're celebrating Karsten and the 2nd anniversary of his adoption finalization. He is a constant reminder that God is faithful and His way is best. I adore and love this boy more and more everyday! God poured an extra dose of sweetness and cuteness in this little guy...and I can hardly believe he calls me Mommy!

Since we brought Karsten home we've read to him every day. One of my parenting goals has been achieved....he has developed a love for books that compares to mine. I've always loved children's books (I think it's the teacher thing) and I guarantee he has well over 100 books, probably closer to 200 (please note, I had most of these books from 9 years of teaching). Here's the thing...great books continue to be written and I can't help myself. I have very little self control when it comes to buying books....especially when I can order them through Scholastic Bookclubs (it's a huge benefit of being a teacher!)
Two of our current favorites are any Skippyjon Jones books and Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site. So, in honor of my little book worm I am giving copies of these two books. Anyone is welcome to enter the drawing. Whether you have kids or not, I'm sure you know kids who would love these books. Personally Brian and I get a kick out of the Skippyjon Jones books! They are a riot!
To be entered please leave a comment here. This is only open to US residents. Come back tomorrow for another giveaway. All winners will be announced the following day.
Ooh, ooh, pick me, pick me :) It's my birthday, those are actually two books we don't have (even though we are book junkies too) and I have a sweet precious little munchkin the same age. And I'm the first to leave a comment!
