We're reading the Old Testament as a family and we're almost to Psalms now. Once we got into Leviticus, we added a chapter of The Book of Mormon every night because we needed something more uplifting. When we're done with the OT, we will probably go back to one chapter a night and it will seem much easier after that, I'm sure.
I hope we keep it up after our baby is born. We are determined to read the whole OT. I'm really looking forward to reading the New Testament together. We have read the BOM 3 times as a family, I think the D&C once, and we read the POGP too.
