It's Monday and the gang is back together!

It's been a big week around here. We got D's 2nd grade assignments, so it's time to start buying the supplies and hoping that his teacher is great. My one sister is back from Mississippi for the week and the youngest one is about to head back to college, so we've been trying to get lots of family time in over the past few days. It's so nice to be all together, but all the driving back and forth makes me want to sleep a lot!

Reading-wise, I loved Karen Russell's short story collection Vampires in the Lemon Grove and then read Alice Hoffman's latest novel The Marriage of Opposites.

          

Up next is The Small Backs of Children from the library, which is about a photographer whose life is forever changed by a child in an iconic photograph. Then I will be digging into Emily Freeman's new book Simply Tuesday.
