Packing, Through Hope's Eyes

I used to let Hope use our smaller camera to point and shoot sometimes. These are some of the last shots that she took before the camera broke. She took some pictures of our last night in the US at Robbie's parents' house in Texas. These are the best ones...

Reading With Hope

Hope has always loved books. She has loved to have us read to her, and she still does. "Mommy, will you read me a book?" is one of her favorite questions to ask. We are happy to oblige.

Now, she is starting to read herself. Today, her story that she read was "Sam is mad at me." She sounded out each word and read it! She has also read the stories "Eat it." "Read it." "That rat is sad." Each story has a picture to look at after reading the story and she loves it! I am so excited for her, and so proud of her.
