She's a Cullen!

It's been a while since Kiera has taken some time off for a feeding. Can you see those dark purple bruises under her eyes.
Okay, so my three year old daughter is not really a Cullen vampire, this is actually how she came home from the city pool. Whenever she and Cambria open their eyes underwater in chlorine pools they get this really strange reaction. We try goggle but they still get a little water in them. So we usually end up flushing their eyes out with water for a few minutes as they scream.

So, about my favorite vampire family, the Cullens, I am so excited and yet sad for the 4th novel, Breaking Dawn, to come out. Excited for obvious reasons and sad because it will end the series. I wish it could just go on forever. The day I bid farewell to Bella and Edward will be a sad one indeed. They kept me company all throughout my long, semi-bed rest pregnancy. I also don't know how I exactly feel about the Twilight movie that will come out in December. My cousin said that she is prepared to be disappointed and I have to admit that I feel much the same way. Only time will tell.

I did enjoy Stephenie Meyer's new book, The Host. It took me a little while to get into but it sure takes you on a long, epoch journey and I like that. It will be added to my list of favorites. I think I'll read it again.

This is my son, in a pink car. That is also Kiera's hand. She couldn't wait to jump in the picture with him. He's too young to care about color right now, but later will tell him that it takes a real man to feel secure in a pink car. Poor guy has no choice. He can blame it all on birth order when he gets older. But for now, he thinks it is the coolest way to travel.
