2010 was a year for reading. I read more books last year than I have probably read in my whole life. I have always like books, I guess I just figured I didn't have enough time. But once I started I was hooked. I can't go to bed without reading. I read about 20 books in 2010. I started with Jane Eyre, which I loved. Some of my favorites from 2010 were: These Is My Words and The Hunger Games. I just finished reading The Book Thief and right now I am reading Listening for Lions.
Will's reading has improved a ton lately. His teacher is great at encouraging him. He is now reading little chapter books!
Just after Christmas Lincoln turned 3! He is so cute and funny and loves to talk to people.
Today my grandparents celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary! Isn't that amazing! They are some of the greatest people I know. They live pretty close to me so I try to visit them as often as possible. A few months ago I found this in a notebook of my grandmas: "Grandma's Creed: Never fail to 'act' like you have self confidence whether you have any or not. Never stifle the urge to be silly! Never (ever) do housework when there are exciting and fun things to do outside. More is better than less (in decorating a home and clothes)." This is a picture I took of them a few months ago.

Yay for reading more!! I have a goal to read 24 books this year. I really hope I can do it. I haven't read a lot but I do enjoy it a ton. It's kind of hard with school but I need the break!!
So great to see your updated pictures. I can't believe Lincoln is 3. That first picture of Will is so cute too! :)
I have been reading more than I ever have before too. Like you, I have discovered that I love reading again. I've just read all of those books you mentioned except Listening for Lions. You'll have to let me know if you like it. Your boys are so so cute, and I always love to see how you've decorated your house in the background. It looks fantastic.
