I'm still reading.

I've forgotten that I'm supposed to come here to my blog and write reviews for the books I read.
I'm not sure how I forgot I just did. 
Sometimes I'm flaky like that.  
So...I am recommitting myself. 
Starting now.
The last book I read that sticks out in my mind is Fahrenheit 451.
It was a good book.
Although I do tend to like those dystopian style books. 
It really made me appreciate the books I read, even if I don't always agree 
with the content. 
At least we have books available anytime to read. 
It something I take for granted way too often. 
Tonight I had the kids all pick out books for me to read to them. 
How awful and sad would it be if the act of reading to ourselves and 
to our children was taken away from us? 
It's a life unimaginable to me. 

So in light of my renewed commitment I'm reading this: 
I'm only on page 34 but so far, so great.
I really love it so far. It's clean, has great imagery and it's intriguing. 
It definitely has promise. 
I mean, I still have 450 pages to go so you never know...but still I am really liking it. 

Tomorrow is going to be a great day. 
Candice and Quinn arrive for our thanksgiving celebration! 

Tomorrow morning is going to be a great morning. 
Trevor doesn't work and we will be all alone for three hours. 
Oh the things we can (and will) do! 
The possibilities are endless, really....

This week is going to be a great week!
We get to have thanksgiving with some of our favorite people 
(the Haslems and the Fowlers),
we will be cutting down our Christmas tree, 
killing some turkeys,
and having a Twilight marathon. 
(candice has only seen the first movie...hello?!? have you been living in the 21st century?
just kidding Candice.)
I went and saw the midnight premier of Breaking Dawn part 2 this week 
and was very surprised at how good it actually was. 
And I got to hang out with Stephanie which is always great...

So Happy Thanksgiving week! 
I hope it is filled with as many good things as possible for you!

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
