Talk about "Swine flue" we have the "Bird flu"!

For the past few months I have been seeing and influx of birds flying in our backyard. I mentioned to Ryan that we might have a birds nest on our house. We looked around but couldn't find anything. A few days ago we were out working in the back yard and we found...to our surprise...a bird flying out of our BBQ. Ryan went over and lifted up the lid and ....talk about a nest! Well they hatched today and we have a new addition(s) to our family. Five little baby bird!

September's Book Review:

The Secret Life of Bees -by Sue Monk Kidd
Was a great read. I was pulled into the story of this young girl as she tries to discover who she is and her search to find somebody who will love her. I have to admit I cryed at the end. It was wonderful! I am excited to read it with the book club.

The Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night-time
-by Mark Haddon
When I went to the library to find this book I couldn't remember what it was called and I asked for the book The peculiar happenings of the wolf in the night. It was close! I was very surprised when they were able to find the real book for me.

It was a different writing style; it was writen as if a boy with autism was writing it. I have to say I liked it. I was fascinated by the authors insite to the mind of an individual with autism. It probbably wasn't the best book for an expecting mother but it was a very quick read. I read it in two days.

Breaking Dawn -by
I won't say a ton; I am sure you have all read it but it wasn't my most favorite of her books. I thought it dragged just a little. Yes there were those interesting parts but over all I was a little disappointed that it wasn't a major page turner for me!
