A few years ago Mike's mom gave Anna some retro Dick and Jane books for her birthday. They are awesome!
Now Abby is reading them and is really enjoying her new found independence in reading. She calls them her "chapter books" because they have little chapters. The pictures are great, the words sometimes crack me up.
"Look, look Jane. Look up there." "Run Dick run!"
No one names their son Dick anymore. I wonder why not. . .

My mission president was named Richard but called Dick...such a shame. Abby is so cute..we miss you guys so much.
she looks so sweet reading. I love how big kids feel when they read "chapter books". they are always so proud when they say it.
isn't that sad about guys named Dick?
ahhhh....look at your big girl!
dick has just gone out of style like lots of names....maybe someone should bring it back. i'm sure it would catch on quick!!!!
Those were the only books Connor would read when he was first learning how!! It is such a fun time--it's like a whole new world opens up for them !!
That's so neat! Go Abby, Go! I had those books when I was younger and that is how I learned to read. I have vivid memories of my older brother (who was around 13 at the time) snickering every time I read the name Dick...I never understood why.
HaHa! Kason totally learned to read with those books. They are so grat. It takes a little use to hearing the name Dick alot though! She is adorable.
That's awesome she's reading so well already! Keep it up!
That's funny (the dick name I mean) It's cute to have Abby so excited. I love when kids get excited about education.
