Reading machine!

(photo taken by my friend BriAnna at Postable Designs)

 I seriously find this girl, reading in every corner of the house. She LOVES to read.

She got a book from the Book Fair at her school in May and got "Captain Underpants." She read the entire book in a couple hours. And has read it many times since then. I kind of hid the book for a while because I don't know how uplifting the book is. :)

 I found her reading to her brother on the play set outside.

 She reads while she eats. (Joseph wants some of her sandwich)

 Under the sun.

 After baths.

 I love this picture. The last couple of times that we've visited Great Grandma Mills, she has taken time to read a story to Grandma. Grandma can't see and has a hard time hearing but seemed to enjoy being read to. I just really want my children to spend these last days and months with their Grandma and remember her. Remember how truly wonderful she is. She has always been one with such a sharp mind, the family documentor, etc...She can still tell you a very detailed family history story but has a hard time remembering what happened ten minutes before. I hope that doesn't sound disrespectful in any way toward my Grandma. I just stand in amazement at the detail she can still remember of important things like family history.

I hope Emma and all our children will keep the love of learning and reading with them, always!
