Today is the 17 month mark for Ethan, and he is so busy that he won't hold still to take a decent picture. All of the photos I've tried over the past few days have been blurry every time. He does say "cheese" but he keeps doing what he's doing while he says it. He is getting to be such a big boy too! He is learning to say all of his body parts and he is getting nervous around strangers. Anyway, here is the blurry picture I promised. 
So I haven't been keeping up on posting about the books I've been reading. I'll just briefly catch up.
I really enjoyed Enna Burning and River Secrets, which are both sequels to the Goose Girl, which was probably my favorite of the three. They were all very excellent though, and fast reads because they are written for teenagers. :)
Man's Search for Meaning I enjoyed immensely, but it was rougher to get through, much more to chew than teenage fantasy novels :) Some of the stuff he talks about is just dead on with what I believe and it was nice to reaffirm how grateful I am that I know at least part of what my purpose in life is.
Bridge to Terabithia was not at all what I thought it was going to be... I saw the previews for the movie and was thinking it was going to be magical fantasy land like Chronicle of Narnia... it wasn't. However, I did really enjoy the book, I just wasn't expecting to cry, and I did... really, you can't avoid crying if you read it.
You are Elinor Dashwood of Sense & Sensibility! You are practical, circumspect, and discreet. Though you are tremendously sensible and allow your head to rule, you have a deep, emotional side that few people often see.
