That is definitely one of my top five life mottos...learned from my father at a very young age. So much so, in fact, that my very favorite Christmas day memories consist of everyone in our family grabbing their new books (plural, of course) and their yummy snacks (also courtesy of my dad and always the "good" chocolate) and curling up in a comfy spot for a bit of reading & eating....favorite past time EVER! The point being, these young ladies are on the right track to becoming lifelong book lovers.
If you are a fan on the facebook page then you will have seen my plea for friends to come and jump on my bed in the glorious light in my room last week. These guys were the first takers of the day and boy did we have fun. At first they weren't too sure about our plan, but luckily for mom and me, the lovely & talented (& highly regarded by these ladies) Annabelle was home that morning. She turned out to be our official librarian, running back and forth to get more books. Here are a few of my favorites....
Their mom, literary genius that she is, has done everything right. Not only are they lovely, charming, little munchkins, but they are both voracious readers. They love their books. When I hang out with them during the week, we do A LOT of reading....we've been known to read for close to an hour straight. Pretty amazing for their not-quite-two-year-old-selves.
OK, so I don't know what it is about that one. It completely melts my heart. It should be printed ginormously somewhere.
Who doesn't have a photo of themselves wearing their mom's shoes? I can think of at least 4 or 5 different photos of my sister and my kids right of the bat, where they are wearing someone else's very large shoes.
A little momma love. I love all the little things about his one. The little arm. Mom's face is full of quiet, calm, love. And, well, she's still holding on to her book, for Pete's sake.
So I tried to put different ones here than are in the Facebook album so go ahead, click on over there and check out the other ones....while you're there, feel free to become a fan. Stay tuned for the second round of little monkeys jumping on the bed....coming soon.
PS Have you noticed that I am killing this 2 weeks of posting challenge? Day 4...check!
