little bits and bobbin

with all the hustle and bustle of moving
and renovating that has been our summer so far
little bits, who has done wonderfully with all the transitions,
has been a trooper.
but finally, finally the other night i unpacked all her books and put them neatly on the shelves.
when she was a baby this used to be a kind of meditation for me, organizing books by kind, favorites, type, size...and finally here i was in our new (old) house organizing her books at the end of the day. i had some time to think back on the last 2 1/2 years and all the changes and growing our lil' family has done, and i felt so thankful....
as you can see from the above photos the little one was pretty thankful too. to finally have her room all set up and her beloved books ready for picking.
she spent the better part of the evening pulling out old favorites and new books too and reading out loud to herself.
such a sweet little whisper or a *reading voice*.
oh love that little voice.
