So... We got the book Saturday, Garry was done by Sunday. I started it Sunday night, but still had company until Wednesday, then had to recoup from the company, so I didn't get much reading done. I didn't want to see any media, or hear any hype and spoil the book for me, so I took drastic steps on Friday and stayed in bed all day reading. I started at 9:30 and was done by 4:30. I am sad to be done as I will never anticipate a release of a new Harry Potter book again. But am excited to have been a part of it all. I loved the book and do feel a bit sad that it's over. I just watched the interview with JK Rowling on Dateline (I'd DVR'd it as we were in CA when it aired) and am experiencing a new wave of sadness that it's all over, but like her, am looking forward to two new movies and time in my life when I can reread them all back to back!! If you're not into Harry Potter, you need to be!!

More Pictures...

Quick Trip to Disneyland

We took Talon down to Long Beach for a week long volleyball camp and since it is only 20 min. from Disneyland, we took advantage of our passes and went Sunday and Monday. We like going much better in October, or early December, but it wasn't too bad.

I promised my sister I wouldn't blog this picture, but I couldn't resist!! What's a blog without a cute picture AND, they say we should be in more of our pictures!!

Pools and cousins

We actually had all the COUSINS together and took advantage with a PICTURE

Boy did they LOVE the POOL

We have a HOUSE FULL of company. Grandma, Grandpa, Ky, Kres, Krissy and Lola (the dog), Trampis, Ella, and Trey all came up to ENJOY some time in the pool. It is very crowded, but a lot of FUN!

Well, my lovely sister reprimanded me for not having a blog. I said they were too much work and I would spend all my time blogging and not get anything else done! But she wouldn't accept that excuse either. So...here I am in the wonderful world of Blog.
