The last time Danny & I and the kiddos went to Carriage Hill, one of the pigs was due to give birth in about a week, so the kiddos were all very excited to see the little piglets. Well, we found out, after searching in vain for her babies, that she was never pregnant! She just kept getting bigger and they all thought she was expecting, until about a week after her due date when they called in the vet. Strange. We did, however, get to see a newborn lamb - unusual for this time of year. And Rachel got to take a few more pictures.
Of course, we ended the day with a trip to the penny candy store. I love that we can get 5 people candy for $1.19. The kiddos love the rare treat of getting to consume large amounts of sugar all at once. We finished out the day at McDonalds, hoping the kiddos would play and we could have a chance to talk for a little while. We should have known better! But overall it was a fun day, and all 4 kiddos completely wore themselves out!
I just finished reading this book. My friend Dee recommended it, so I went to the library, checked it out, and read it in 2 days. It's that good. I got a little less sleep than I needed for a couple of nights, because I could not put it down. Wow. I love Hosseini's writing style and that you cannot read his account without being deeply impacted. Thank you Dee! I'm also getting ready to read his book A Thousand Splendid Suns. Hopefully this one won't be as riveting and I can get some sleep.

glad you liked the book!
have you returned it yet? i love reading in the summer time!
Nothing like a good book to read. Our suitcases are always weighed down with what we hope will be good reading when we return from the States.
By the way, I had that book (The Kite Runner) and for some reason I couldn't get in to itm so I sent it to David. Maybe I needed to read more and get further along before making my decision...
