I didn't get any pictures of the kids solo for this weeks portraits but I did manage to snap this one of them together during everyone's favorite part of our night time routine.
Our kids really love to read and its something that is really important to us as a family. Our days usually start with Gus runnning into our room quite early and throwing a book at us asking us to read. Mabel is quick to follow. I keep books in my diaper bag, the car, and all over our house.
Each night after dinner, bath, and pajamas we snuggle up in Mabel's bed and read three books. Mabel and Gus each choose one and then Sam or I choose the third. Needless to say we've read a lot of books over the last almost four years.
When picking children's books out I like to put extra effort into it especially since we read so often. There are several authors that we really love and can always count on. I love design and illustration so that's usually what pulls me in. And of course we choose books based on things that we as a family are interested in at the time like potty training and back to school or ballet and trucks. I love to buy children's books and we visit the library a couple of times a week to keep things fresh. We are also members of the Imagination Library which I highly recommend checking into for the children in your lives.
On that note I'd like to introduce a new series to my blog called sweetest reads coming soon! Each week I will introduce 3 books recommended by Mabel and Gus and of course myself and Sam. Hope you enjoy!
