Yesterday I went to my first ever book club meeting. I am so glad that Michelle invited me. We ate, mingled and discussed books that we have read, are reading and want to read. I am really looking forward to the books that we'll be reading. The first book is INTO THE WILD by John Krakauer. It sounds really good and I can hardly wait until I get it and read it. Some of the other books that I remember were mentioned are: 'Me Talk Pretty One Day', 'Murder On The Orient Express', 'Anna Karenina', 'The Prestige', 'Twilight', 'Where The Red Fern Grows', and of course 'Water For Elephants'.
Most of all, I got to enjoy being around friends and talk about life. Jason came home a little earlier so that I could go and he took care of both the kids while I was gone. (brave soul! it was bedtime for both of them) Jackson did pretty well, although he still refuses to take a bottle (help! what am I going to do???) I also enjoyed getting to know many new people and getting better acquainted with others that I already knew.
In other news, we bought a used double stroller off Craig's List. We took our first walk in it yesterday and it was so nice to have both kids in it. It's not a GREAT stroller, but it works and that's what counts.
book club sounds like fun, you will have to let me know if you read anything good so i can read it! I love a good book.
ReplyDeleteIt is always nice to get out and talk to others. About the bottle. I had the joyous experience of giving 2 of my neices their first bottles both at like 4 -5 months. needless to say there was lots of crying from both baby and I, but when they were finally hungry enough they ate it. It stinks but that is what happened with me. Also another thing to try is to make sure the bottle nipple is not to slow or to fast. Good luck
ReplyDeleteCute family you have there, Amber.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited about book club! I just put Into the Wild on hold, but I'm eager to get to some of the others on the list too. But why didn't you mention "Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands"? ;)
