Lydia

These are a couple of my favorite pictures of Lydia who told me this morning that she is almost three years old, and then she "will be as big as the sky." The first picture captures her ability to bring joy and smiles to those around her, in this case her great-grandfather just a month before he died. In spite of his physical problems at that time, he delighted in her. She is fun to be with, and to talk with.
The second picture shows her love of books. She loves to be read to--and to read to others, Elinore, Peter the doll, etc. On Thursday mornings, we go to Story Hour at the library, and selecting just a few books to check out is a real challenge. She would love to take many more home. I am so grateful for her love of reading as I work with adults who cannot read and have never discovered the "worlds" at their fingertips.

We love you, Lydia!
