Not sure if we will continue to watch Grey's now that Callie likes girls!! YUCK!
And of course I am ALREADY addicted to 90210. Love that Brenda and Kelly are on it!
Erik and I have started reading this book that was recommended on a blog that Leighanne saw. So far it is pretty good. It's about the first black baby adopted by a white couple in New Mexico! We want our children to always know the truth about where they came from and that we have loved them from the moment we laid eyes on them! Will keep you posted on the details.
"July 15, 1968. It is only three months following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the nation is burning. Black and White America are locked in the tense grip of massive change. Into this inferno steps an unsuspecting young White couple. Neither had truly known even a single African American person while growing up. Now, a child will change all of that forever. In this fateful moment, a Black baby becomes perhaps the first in the history of New Mexico to be adopted by a White family. Here is a brazenly honest glimpse into the mind and heart of that child, a true story for the ages that flows like a soulful river-separated from his mother at birth, placed into foster care, adopted, and finally reunited with his biological family in adulthood-an astounding journey of personal discovery. Jaiya John has opened the floodgates on his own childhood with this piercing memoir. Black Baby White Hands, a waterfall of jazz splashing over the rocks of love, pain and the honoring of family. Magically, this book finds a way to sing as it cries, and to exude compassion even as it dispels well-entrenched myths. Destined to become a classic, this stirring account is sure to find itself well worn, stained by tears, and brushed by laughter in the lap of parents, adolescents, educators, students, and professionals. Here comes the rain and the sunshine, all at once."

you have no idea how much our DVR is blowing up in the past week. And it is crazy how little time we have to watch everything we love. Sad day! AND, I have to tell you I too am addicted to the new 90210 (I know we had an addiction in college to the original) however, I find myself often wishing and hoping the old cast of 90210 would come back on and they'd do a story within a story with the old cast. I get more excited when they talk about Dylan and Kelly than I do when they talk about Taylor and Ethan. :) Anyway, enjoy your couch potato days!!!
