I spent some of my evening researching the best classic books for 8-10 year old boys, and I came up with this wish list. I am happy to find so many true classic young novels that are still great reads for kids today. I look forward to building this collection for Alyx, and soon, one for Kate as well.

Oh these little goofs. How I love them so.

While this final month of deployment is proving to be, undoubtedly, the most difficult/challenging/stressful, I am so thankful that Jeremy is my supporter and even though we are both equally feeling the stress, we are there for one another. I love him endlessly.
