Ahhhh...read-aloud time at the Grant home.
Before the adventure of parenting began for us, my husband and I would envision reading together as a family one day. We imagined the bunch of us snuggled up together on the couch-- serene and focused on the story being read.
Well, we love how it has turned out...don't get me wrong...it's just that I imagined less chair juggling during our read-aloud time and more SERENITY. Oh well. It's all good. And the dog? Well, he sits really still and just tries to avoid being kidnapped by the girls and dressed up like a character in the book....I sometimes think he is paying the closest attention to the story.
*sigh*

Hi Allison! Just found your blog through Aimster's and have found your posts so interesting. Love seeing your family and marveling at how much your girls look like you and Steve. So fun.
Reading aloud...on the weekends right now, we've begun reading together the Narnia series, beginning w/ the Magician's Nephew -- how I've eagerly awaited these days -- and I have not been disappointed. They are completely into the story, loving it, hanging on the edge of their seats, well, if they weren't sitting on the floor (at least the 9 and 7 yr olds ... 4 and 1 yr old, no, not so much yet :) ...we'll get to look forward to reading the series all over again in another 5 years or so w/ them I guess)! Whoo-hoo!!!
Wonderful to have found you yet again.
