And yes, they have helped me on those insomnia nights...<br /><br />LOVE that you and your kids love to read - it's a gift that you've passed on, and it will be a great pleasure the rest of their lives.<br /><br />GOD (who happened to write a pretty good Book Himself!)

I am an avid reader too, and remember being allowed to choose a book a week with Mum and having special time with my Grandmother who had so much patience as she read and re-read various favourites. Very special times and thanks for sharing your simple pleasure as it reminded me of some happy childhood moments.Julie Goucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368170005503879489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3964127382381586570.post-29242491182480491612011-08-20T05:35:38.701-04:002011-08-20T05:35:38.701-04:00Reading is a wonderful pleasure, something you can...Reading is a wonderful pleasure, something you can do nearly anywhere, including bed.

It was one of my favorite things to do with my daughter. We read in bed together every night until she was almost a teenager. Priceless times.
