baby Clara
Tomorrow, Clara will be three weeks old. The kids are finally over the initial shock of bringing her home. They love to sit and hold her. Janie's favorite line is, "She smiled at me!", even though Clara usually isn't smiling at Janie. We'll let her figure that out later.
Clara has just started to have a fussy period between her afternoon nap and bedtime. We're very thankful though, that she seems to be a good sleeper. I think I'll have to cut out the dairy for a bit, but over all she's healthy and happy. She's a snuggler, and I love it. I'll take all the snuggling I can get.
Recent good books: The Professor by Charlotte Bronte and The Heart of the Matter by Graham Greene
I'm hoping to read The Foundling next, but any suggestions?

I have read a few books lately that I have really enjoyed. The Kite Runner and The Time Traveler's Wife are a couple. I also liked Daughter of Fortune. A good friend recently recommended Being Madam Mao.

Thanks for the picture. She is beautiful. I've been dying to see her. She looks like she fits right in. It is funny to hear you say that one of Janie's favorite things to say is "She smiled at me!" Our Rebekah is always saying "Jacob looked at me!" Isn't it fun? :)

Memoirs of a Geisha is good. So is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.
