Addiction

It seems like most of my blogs lately have been by my brother in law.  I guess I need to get on here more often.

If you haven't noticed my new feature, it is my book shelf.  I have been lost in the world of books lately.  Rocky gets so mad when I read, basically because I kind of check out of reality for a while.  Reading is kind of like my heroin, or crack.  I just can't get enough.  Unfortunately, I am a really fast reader, so I finish books within a few days, which always leaves me searching for something new to read.  And I love to buy books.  For most people, this is a waste, since many only read books once.  I, however, can read them over and over again.  I can't tell you how many times I have read "The Glass Lake" or "Beach Music."  I have also read the Harry Potter series about 5 times so far (and I just started to read HP in the past year).  I have tried to read longer books, like "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" but that just got a little to technical/boring for me.  It did take me a while to finish.  I recommend all books on my shelf right now, with the exception of "The Host."  I didn't hate it, but I just don't know how I feel about it right now.  I finished it last night, and will have to read it again to give it a second chance.  I am considering taking the kids to the gym and dropping them off at the child center so I can go and lounge by the pool and read.  Is that wrong?

Here are some recent pics of the kids:

This is Ciara and her friend Sophie in Denver.  They were playing naked for some reason.

One of Caden, so he doesn't feel left out.
