Books

I have recently read a number of books that I have really enjoyed. Some have been referrals from friends and some I have in my little library of favorites. So I thought I would post a few recommendations for books for anyone who is interested. If you have any recommendations for me please let me know. I am always in search of a good book to read.

1. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows


2. The Mitford series by Jan Karon is a 7 or 8 book series that begins with At Home in Mitford



3. A Long Fatal Love Chase by Louisa May Alcott (Bitter-sweet, but I think well worth the read.)

4. Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens


5. Persuasion by Jane Austen (I have read this a number of times but I had forgotten how much I liked this story.)


6. A Bend in the Road by Nicholas Sparks

Smiles

Eleanor is now 3 months old and she loves to smile and giggle. She is so much fun. I just can't get enough of her!

Slow

I'm a little slow getting things done as you can tell since I'm barely getting Christmas posted. I was just going to skip this post, but I wanted Eva to see this video.


Penelope had such a great time and we had a great time just watching her.



When I brought Eleanor down in this outfit, Penelope said "ho, ho, ho." Later when I took Eleanor out of the outfit, Penelope wanted to put it on and I had a hard time convincing her that it just wouldn't fit.

My Mom made both Penelope and Eleanor aprons for Christmas with their names on the front. Penelope wore hers all day, nap and everything. So cute and so much fun!
