Quick as a Cricket April 17, 2010, at 8:56 pm | For Easter, my mom sent us a book that had been a favorite of mine as a young child, Quick as a Cricket by Audrey Wood. It was a huge hit with the girls. Not only do they enjoy the beautiful illustrations, but they love it when I act out the words. For example, I roar vigorously at the line, “I’m as loud as a lion,†and drop my voice to a whisper for “I’m as quiet as a clam.†Jim read it to the girls for the first time the other night, and he didn’t disappoint them with his theatrics. For the record, his roar is much louder than mine!

ABOUT US I'm blessed to be saved by the grace of God, loved by my wonderful husband Jim, and embraced by my twin girls, Rebecca Faith and Susanna Joy and my sons Jimmy and Danny. I started this blog in May 2008 when I was hospitalized for pre-term labor at 24 weeks gestation. The Lord allowed me to keep the girls inside until they were 34 weeks along, and on July 27th, Rebecca made her debut, followed by Susanna, five minutes later, on July 28th. We ecstatically welcomed Jimmy into our lives on April 25th, 2011, and Danny on August 31, 2012. This blog has been a personal journal of faith and motherhood and the only way I can remember which child did what and when. Thanks for stopping by to share in my Faith and Joy!

Love this! Some of my favorite pictures of my girls are my candids of my husband and the munchkins. Your girls look so intense. Must be a great book! I can’t wait until I can get mine to sit still long enough to read a book. Right now, books still go in the mouth. Your girls get cuter and cuter with every picture you post!
Thanks, Janet! It seems like it took the girls FOREVER to get to the stage where I could read them an entire book. Even now, they still like to turn the pages ahead of where I’m reading. So it’s definitely a process. But I’m hopeful that all our efforts are creating avid readers!
