What makes you smile?
Books make me smile. They always have and they always will.
But what makes me smile even more is watching my children devour books.
I've realized that we unintentionally have kids books in every room in the house (except the bathrooms). We even have some in these shelves in the upstairs hallway.
We love books that much.

I was working on preschool activities and turned around to see this. My heart melted.
One morning Natalie wouldn't get out of the crib and just pointed at one of our books baskets. She went through the whole basket and read for about 15 minutes or so. The whole time she was pretend reading out loud like she's done for the past 6 months. My heart melted.
Here she is with one of her ALL-TIME favorites--Hand, Hand, Fingers Thumb. She is constantly grabbing a book, screaming "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!" (she calls us both that), then backing up to our lap so we'll read yet another one. Our hearts melt.
Be still my heartWe love books

We love books too!
I am so thankful I have so many books from when I taught school! My boys LOVE books just as much as your girls! And in addition to the thousands we have, we choose about 25 new ones each week at the library. I don't think there is a better thing to be obsessed with! :)

DUM DIDDY DUM DIDDY DUM DUM DUM
What sweet girls! You love of books will make them love them...the rest of their lives. Good for you. Your such a good daddy:)
I love this post, but it really made me laugh. Tonight Brady had books all over his bed, and Cory was about to read one to him when I came in to say good night. Cory said, "Doesn't seeing all these books just make your heart melt?" What?? He doesn't talk like that! Then he said to go read your blog post and that made me laugh. Hearts are always melting at the Deans. Haha!
Oh, what cuties! Natalie's hair is long and blonde. She's really growing up!
I love how you love books. What a couple of smarties you're gonna have. Good work. David's such a lucky man!
