When I was pregnant with Ellie, Daniel would tell me how excited he was to read to his baby. He just knew that he would be able to connect with his children through books. When Ellie was born, he did what he said he would and read to her a lot. It is nice to see that as we now have 3 children, he still loves to read the kids books. They love it too.
Last weekend we switched the kids rooms around and moved the bookshelf that was in Owen's room into Maggie's room. Ellie and Owen have always loved escaping into the bedroom to read books together and now Maggie joins in on the fun.
These days, Owen is most obsessed with books. Whenever we go anywhere in the car, he runs out to the garage with a book or two tucked under his arm. 
Ellie's favorite thing is to "read" to her brother and sister. Her words are usually better than when mom or dad reads them. Elise is really into girly books (along with the other girlie stuff she loves) like Angelina Ballerina or other princess type books.

I can't wait to read books with these cute grandkids. It's nice to see how much Ellie, Owen and Maggie love books. And it's no surprise Daniel is reading to them. He loved to read so much he had memorized many of his books before he was out of diapers. By that time, all I did was turn a page and "read" the first word. Daniel did the rest. I used to play with him by saying a wrong word just so he could correct me. And he always did. Thanks for posting these great pics.
Love, Grandpa Weber
