Twilight

"Her existence alone was excuse enough to justify the creation of the entire world."
- Edward Cullen, regarding Bella Swan, excerpted from the unpublished "Midnight Sun" partial draft by author Stephenie Meyer.

OK. I admit it. I am obsessed with a "young adult" book series. I can't help it. And I know if you read it too you would feel the same way. It is just awesome and entertaining. Plus I know plenty of adults who are reading it.

So if you want to get lost for a while, get away from it all and get wrapped up in a wonderful love story filled with suspense then check out the Twilight Saga. There are four books, "Twilight", "New Moon", "Eclipse" and "Breaking Dawn".

Some jerk stole Meyer's unpublished draft of "Midnight Sun" and posted it on the internet so now the completed version may never see reality. You can read the partial draft on her website. But I would finish the published books first.

The movie "Twilight" comes out in November. Can't wait!

A day at Disneyland

After getting Kate's 7-month pictures done by the amazing Tonya Joy, we went with my parents to DL. This was the first time we've been there where Kate was actually interested in what was going on. She also went on her first rides! We went on some of the dive rides in Fantasyland and of course the carousel. I can't wait to take her back again.

Oh and big news - she has a tooth! It popped out on 9/10 and she really didn't fuss all that much beside being a little grumpy that day. It is on the bottom left. Since she is crawling around so much we invested in a corral of sorts to keep her captive while in our family room. She very easily pulls her self up and stands while supported by the walls. I bet she will be walking by 9 months! Best of all, she is especially cuddly and squishable these days. :)
