Just got done updating my profile, as my daughter is now 12 (as of yesterday) and the work on the barn's going on 8 years now and presently at a stand still.
I bought my daughter the "100 Classic Books" for her DS Lite and last night the two of us decided to unwind after her party with our ebook readers before bed. She started reading
Alice in Wonderland on her DS and I'm reading the 4th book in the Pendragon series.
It was a proud moment for me. I think I was ready to put my reading down before she was. And I remember a time when she wanted nothing to do with reading! She knew how, but had no interest.
She was given a party game from her cousins for her birthday. It was hysterical playing it with my family yesterday! It's a word game called "Funglish". Her dad and I all played it again just a bit ago and it was just as fun, even though it was just the 3 of us! I highly recommend it!
It was a beautiful weekend! Hard as it's been, we put aside all of our worries and fears and just did a lot of fun things this weekend as a family for Mallory's birthday. I'm feeling so very contented and blessed! (
happy sigh )
I just looked back and found her reading again on the DS. She's almost finished with Alice in Wonderland!
Life is Gooooood!
