Embarking on The Journey

No, not that journey. :)

My sis-in-law has lent us her volume of Lord of the Rings. We start reading it as a bedtime story tonight! I know there's quite a bit of difficult language for a 10-year-old to understand, so it may take us a while to get through. That, and the fact that the book is THICK!!!

My son made us a special LOTR bookmark last night - complete with elvish writing and a realistic ring. Boy, does that child have artistic talent!

Now that we've seen the films, we're really looking forward to getting the Full Story. Even if it takes more than an Age.
