It's fun to capture these kid moments. I tried Kindle. Until now I had thought I would never be able to move away from paper. But more and more I have found that I read most online - work stuff, newspapers, etc. But I read an entire book on Kindle and found it very convenient - anytime-anywhere-discrete access, not adding to the bookshelves, and easy to read, bookmark and captture comments. But I feel that I still miss the romantic aspect of books - the visual, the touch, the smell, discovering someones library. Plus Kindle hasn't figured out how Tayyba and I can share the same library, and make it easily browse-able for each other and the kids. Yet. Thanks Maureen! It’s fun to capture these kid moments.

How do you and Tayyba find the time to write all this fantastic stuff? On the subject of books, I am with Natasha. I like to organize by prettiness and height... Hey, we can all read the spines... If absolutely forced, I will organize by topic, but that's as far as I go! If Cobus let me keep my books, I might have 3000 books by now too! However, Cobus is a minimalist and would like fewer book cases! So, he has plotted and moved me on to a Kindle. Now, I aspire to 3000 virtual books!
