aunt jan…
look what we did today.
we went to borders to spend our gift card.
we had books everywhere.
the salelady was getting so anxious…totally hovering.
we read more and more books.
here’s my pile i never got to touch.
it’s quite different going with the kids…
no coffee.
no chair.
no looking at anything that doesn’t rhyme or pop-up.
these were the final selections.
sean’s is obviously the Pirate/Diaper book.
annie picked Dora’s Manners. (sounds great to me)
scott picked Stink – it’s a chapter book.
and at the last second talby switched her choice to Flotsam.
it turned out that it has no words!
but the art is amazing….
loved it.
thank you again aunt jan.

siobhan - Happy New Year to the Duerksen family. When ever I read your “Blog” (which I admit is most days!!)I come away with a smile. I am in awe at how you accomplish so much and inspires me to do more and I only have two boys!!!! My husband enjoys the cooking that results from your recipies as does my 3yr old who enjoys licking the bowl. Anyway, thankyou for sharing your thoughts, inspirations and life, it really is a joy to read them all the way over here in Australia!! Isnt it amazing that technology allows us to do this!! As my 8yr old continually tells me ‘your just from the olden days mum!’
Jan Ashmore - Megan, how lovely you are! I am so honored and touched by today’s blog – such a special way to be thanked.
I love you!!!
Aunt Jan
