My wife beg me to post this. She was a HUGE fan of the Anne of Green Gable series and did have a crush on Jonathan as a kid.

during a long labor with my second child. Made the hours go by better than any breathing exercises! Then, 16 years later, she and her friend watched it with me and we fell in love with Gilbert all over again.

aloud together after dinner each night. (We usually did an outloud read after dinner, instead of watching TV.)

We loved those books.
