Book party- Henry.

We don't want to jump to conclusions, but June might be a genius- despite the fact she's the only kid in the family who still isn't talking.

Mama noticed this last week (ask Aunt Jenni). June likes to play with the 3 different alphabet puzzles we own and especially likes to carry the pieces around. We've begun to notice that she especially likes the F's. We first thought it was a coincidence, but not after she brought two F's to supper last night. Start setting up her scholarship fund, Harvard.

Despite her vast cerebral abilities, June still enjoys the simple things in life- like sweet corn. We're very glad she figured out how to eat it correctly instead of just sucking on the end of it like a popsicle.

And check out that cute hair barrette. Mama scored a 6 pack of animal barrettes at the dollar store.

We found a better solution to June's indoor shoe problem. She didn't like the red slippers, so mama pulled out a pair of ballet flats that Mister Andy and Miss Christina got her last April. Good news! She's finally a size 4! (For those of you who don't know baby shoe sizes, most kids are in size 4s well before their first birthday. Our friend Audrey wears a size 6 extra wide. Sadie's probably in a size 8 by now- which is also my shoe size.) And yes, that is a cape that June is wearing. It's my Batman/Superman cape that I've never worn willingly but she now loves.

This morning, I had the best idea- a book party. It involves piling books in June's crib and reading quietly. The perk? I got to go in June's crib too. Mama was going to veto the idea but then she asked what she did during a book party. I told her she had to sit on the bed and check her email on the computer. Sold.

We looked at books for a half hour before we started jumping and got kicked out of the crib.

Mama took the opportunity of quiet kids to finish taking pictures of our house. Here's our room.

We share because it's pretty big and we're best friends.

I like my room because it has a desk in it. Right now it's piled up with stuff because we're waiting to move some new dressers in the room and don't want to hang anything up until we know how everything is going to fit.

Here's mama and papa's room. They got that headboard at the Sauder's outlet and it was advertised as full/queen. It's waaaay to big for their bed, so mama put it up on Craigslist this afternoon.

They have two closets.

The hallway between our rooms. You'll recall from the last set of pictures that the upstairs is only on the back side of the house. What mama likes best about it is that the whole front of the house is a walk in attic accessed by a door in the hallway and a door in our room. Already it is so much more convenient than the pull down ladder at our old house.

Here's the bathroom between our rooms.

And a shot of the shower.
