Finally! It happened...

Erika is reading The Tail of Emily Windsnap. She read for almost 2 hours tonight and did not want to put the book down! My mom bought the book; she read it herself in one day. Erika is hooked! I feel like she finally understands the thrill and joy of a good book and all of those days of reading to her since infancy have paid off. Hooray!

I played an entire soccer game last Sunday without walking off the field in pain. Of course, it was the spring season's last game. I just didn't believe I would ever survive a game without a sprained muscle or aching joint.
