I remember being a little girl at my grandma's house and listening to "Yertle the Turtle" on her record player. Other times I was there, we would read from the books, "Ferdinand" and "Little Black Sambo". There's something about those memories and not wanting to forget them. I looked up the books on line the other day and was delighted to find out that I could get those three books all for myself. I would have my "grandma's" books forever. Those memories forever. I was giddy as I opened the package when they were delivered. There they were. My memories of spending time with my grandma 30 years ago. I read through them eager to see if I even
liked the books after all those years. Yip. I still do. :) And so do my kids.
*Speaking of books...want to do "March Madness" with me and read the Book of Mormon with me this month? It's not too late. I'm starting today along with my sister J. I promise you, your month will be better than any other time of the year. Don't believe me? Try it for yourself and let me know. :)

For me, books of my childhood include Wacky Wednesday, I wish I had Duck Feet, and Would you Rather Be a Bullfrog. One of Eric's all-time favorites is Bears in the Night (Berenstein Bears).
Yup, we have all four.
Good luck with your March Madness! I'd consider joining you, but I have my own challenge to complete. (I'm reading "The Heart of Buddha's Teaching", and because I'm willing to do that, a friend of mine is reading the Book of Mormon for the first time. Small price to pay, if you ask me!)
Wow! Your girls are getting so big!!
Joining you this time on your march madness. How many pages are you doing each day. I know I'll be blessed for reading it so fast.
Oh how cute! My dad served his mission in Holland so we use wooden shoes instead of stockings (I'm sure you know that already!). I love all things Holland though. Always have. Love the hair do too!
