What I have been up to...




Well, I am back at work once more.  It seems to be going by pretty quickly which is a good thing.  I am very excited about my three day weekend home with my family due to MLK day.  Connor is growing like a weed.  He is still all over the place.  It was a miracle that I got him to stay still while taking these pictures.  This is round 1 of his Valentine's Day pics.  I have some other ideas that I want to try with him this weekend.  So, I will post those pics when I take them.  I wanna try some "Kim Anderson" style pics.  If you don't know who Kim Anderson is, google her and you will recognize her photos.  
I have to tell you about these books that I am reading...I am so hooked!  My friends at work have been reading these books and were holding out on the rest of us.  They are so good!  They are written by Stephanie Meyer and the book series is called "Twilight".  These books were written primary for young adults but they are so well written and suspenseful.  I am on the second book in the series (there are four of them) and I cannot put it down.  I read the first book (Twilight) very quickly.  It was so suspenseful, I stayed up until 1 a.m. to finish it and I immediately went out and bought the second one (New Moon).  The story is a love story about a girl who falls in love with a vampire.  I love vampire books!  Some of my other favorite vampire books are The Historian and Dracula (of course).  But anyways, back to Twilight, don't be turned off if you don't like vampire books...you will still LOVE it.  This other girl at work doesn't care for vampires and she fell in love with the book too.  They are also doing the movies for the books.  The first one is in theaters now.  I haven't seen it yet...maybe this weekend.  I have one word of advice to you if you decide to read these books:  Make sure and have lots of time to read because you are not going to want to put the book down.  I HAVE to leave my book at home when I go to work because I would read it if I had it with me when the kids go to PE, music, etc.  I am not joking!  They are that good!
