Things We Love - Letter B

Quinn - Books

Quinn has always had a love for books - ever since she was little bitty!  It warms my heart to know that the passion she has for books and knowledge continues to grow.  She still very much loves to listen to books read to her, but she has started to read beginner books on her own.  She loves the sense of accomplishment when she is able to read things independently.  You know it's a great thing when one of Quinn's favorite places is the library.  

As you can see from the picture above, she is not short on books!  (But in my opinion that is not a bad thing!)

Sullivan - Blankies

Sullivan is in love with her "blankies". If she had her way, she would carry them everywhere she goes.  Her blankies are really burp rags that we used with Sullivan when she was a baby.  She took to sleeping with one in her crib at first.  Now she refuses to sleep with less than two at a time - they are her security blankets.

She went through a phase a couple of months ago (when this first picture was taken) where she liked to wear her blankets and chew on them.  

Ryan - Baseball

Anyone who knows Ryan, knows that he is a HUGE baseball fan - and HUGE may be an understatement! His obsession started many moons ago, when he was a little boy and played baseball himself.

He loves watching baseball on TV - especially the Minnesota Twins, but honestly any team will do!  He also takes advantage of every opportunity to watch Vanderbilt when they are on ESPN - which is not as often as he'd like.  Above is a picture of the College World Series in Omaha when Ryan and I had the opportunity to see Vanderbilt live in action! Go Dores!

Audra - Blogging 

I wasn't sure how I would feel about blogging when I first started to do it.  I didn't know if I would enjoy it, find it stressful, or just not have anything to write about.  I have found it somewhat therapeutic to do and it has forced me (in a great way) to take lots of pictures!  I am extremely hopefully that I can keep it up when I head back to school soon!
