things i love.

blog
I love reading children's books. I can't tell you how fun it was to begin collecting children's books once we found that I was expecting! I wouldn't have minded if every new baby gift was a book for Maggie to enjoy; I love them that much.

Believe it or not, one of my absolute favorite new books was also written by a very dear friend. I love you more than Rainbows, by Sue Crites, is such a beautiful story that I just had to blog about it. It was just selected for a "Mom's Choice Award", and if you have any special children in your life, I know that they'd love it. It's one of Maggie's favorites! Check it out here.

Sue is such a caring person, and the success of her book has prompted her to found Operation Rainbows which allows her to give copies of her book to the children of those serving in the military and to children of fallen police officers and firefighters. Pretty amazing.

If you have a minute you should definitely check out this book... It will just make you happy.

I agree with you Kristen, I love that you gave Brandon this book and have read it to him and Maggie
at times. That is also generous of Susan to give her book to so many deserving children.
Great pic also!
