Books! Books!

So the boys have taken a slight liking to books. And, I LOVE IT! I love to read! I love the feel of books. I love the feel of the pages. I love the smell of books. I love the way they look stacked up ready to be opened. I love to highlight, underline, and star them up. Yes, I am slightly obsessed. :o) However, despite my slight obsession, I do hope to pass some of this love onto my children. 

So far, it seems to be working. Right now, the boys have taken a crazy love for books, especially Noah! All throughout the day they find a book and hunt down a reader. They turn their big eyes onto the unsuspecting victim, shove the book in the victim's face, and begin their grunting plead. Luckily for them, the girls are always quick to drop what they are doing to read a book to their brothers. Oh my, something else I just love to see! Here are just a few shots of book love at our house lately.

Mr. Micah tried to choose a quiet place to read. But, was quickly joined by Jens.

This little cubby hole has been a hiding place for all of my children. 

I should do a post just of pics of all my babies enjoying time in this little cubby.

Mikes thinking he is tough sitting on the chair reading. The poor guys was fighting a small virus, so his eyes were a bit glazed! (We've had quite the winter with viruses! Bleh!)

Noah enjoying some books.

Noah now giving the unsuspecting victim his dimpled grin, and the victim deciding.

He had to go solo this time.

But, she soon gave in and they had a moment on the couch. 

I love to see Jeff grab them both and read a book. Really, you rarely read to just one guy for long. Because if the other hears you reading, he quickly makes his way over to you and makes room for himself on your lap. 

Sadly, I didn't grab any pics of Ems with her bros. However, she LOVES to hold them and read. Since Noah LOVES to be held and read and she LOVES to play this role, those two are usually found together snuggled and reading. 

Oh, how I have such visions of family reading time! hehe! :o)
