January Book Pick

"Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism" by Jenny McCarthy

Maggie Sue Bird

Hello fellow literators! Maggie is just a little angel and such a peaceful little spirit. We are both doing well and she is breast feeding like a champ and I am enjoying every bit of her! I know you all have heard me speak vocally about how hard things were after Grace was born, and how nervous I was for this one to come, but I have to say that my experience so far has been vastly different! I love to just hold her and stare at her and I am actually enjoying breast feeding, which wasn't the case last time. She really has a peaceful spirit about her and all I want to do is be near her. I am so grateful that I am enjoying having her here with us!

Grace is adoring her new little sister and role as "big sister" but she is going through a bit of a hard time now that she doesn't have our undivided attention. That has definitely been a struggle. Any suggestions? Love my girls and love being a mom!

Anyway, I hope that I am going to be able to make it to the retreat, we'll just have to play it by ear!

Baby ?

Hello Ladies! Lilli's cute new little girl finally arrived last night with apparently only 3 min of pushing! Hoorah for Lilli! As of last night she still didn't have a name.....I haven't spoken with Lilli yet, so those are the only details I have......more to come I'm sure!

So I've only heard from Shelli and Nat concerning the retreat...I need to let my little brother know soon...so let me know what day everyone wants to go...the 1st or the 8th. Lori I think you should fly back for the holidays so you can come on our little retreat with us! We definitely miss you!
