Back to Bookmeal

Hello again, faithful reader(s)! It's been a long time, but I have a good reason for going AWOL: I have been delivered! Our fourth child arrived just in time for the new year and we have been settling in quite well. We rejoice in this new little life, already so dear to us.



You might also have noticed that I didn't reach my goal of reading twenty books for Bookmeal in 2010. I don't feel like I've failed because I've gotten so much out of what I have been able to read and write (I hope you have too). I'll continue along this year, without being too specific on a timeline.

Even during my absence, I've noticed some new flags on my visitor list - welcome, and thanks for stopping by! Introduce yourselves sometime and get in on the conversation...

    (You might have noticed I deleted my first comment- it had a typo! I am particular about those kinds of things!)

    Welcome back! I missed your posts, and realized when I saw there was a new one that I've been hungry for a book meal. Are you planning to continue with the same list you had before, or has giving birth changed the focus of what you hope to be reading over the coming year? In any event, I'm sure your reflections will be intellectually and spiritually stimulating as always.

    Thanks for the encouragement, friends! It feels good to be back, although I'm still unsure of just how I'm going to get to my computer with three little ones around during the day now!

    Rosie, I'm continuing for now with at least the two books on the sidebar (Books 6 and 8) - both address themes that are big ones in my life at the moment (gender equality and pilgrimage). I started a post on DBE today, but will have to finish it on Friday - when R and L are back at playschool again! :-)

    What a wonderful reason to be away! Your baby is precious and you two look very happy, maybe a little tired...but isn't that to be expected?

    Tired, indeed - he was less than 12 hours old in this picture!
