It seems a long time ago now that I first read Shiver -- the first book in the Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy. But looking back I started it on the plane ride to BEA and finished it there in the conference center, fingers gripping the cover tightly, while sitting on the floor in one of the many autograph lines. And now it's May again and BEA is right around the corner and I emerge from my recent and nasty reading slump stupor to find a copy of Linger sitting in my mailbox like a glove thrown down in the dirt. "I will be the one to pull you out," it whispers to me slyly. "Just open me up and take a sip. I promise--one sip is all it will take." And I look at it with fear and longing written all over my face. "You promise?" I ask intently. "Because it's been a long walk in the cold and I'm not sure I can take another disappointment." "Just open me up," it says, confidence written all over its cover. And so I do. And everythin
That braid is too cute!
ReplyDeleteI bet she felt so pretty! I love her hair!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular hair!
ReplyDeletebtw, Angieville followers, notice the picture on the wall in the background--those are 4 generations of mothers and daughters. So, so cool!
I'm so sad I didn't do that with my grandmother, mother, and daughter when I could have.
What kind of camera do you use?
ReplyDeleteYour kids are adorable! I'm sure you already know that. :P
ReplyDeleteI love her dress! And that smile is perfect. She looks so grown up and Will makes a great pirate.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! :)
ReplyDeleteHow cute! And I love her hair.
ReplyDeleteThat is a WICKED Rapunzel dress. Wasn't your daughter Cinderella last year? It's good to know your children are good and proper Disney fans!
ReplyDeleteThey're both gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow... I can't believe how big your kids are getting!!! So cute, you always do such a great job with costumes. =) Hope you are doing well! =)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, guys. They had a great time and I have such a fun time on Halloween with them.
ReplyDeleteSally, good eye. We took one on my side as well when Piper was about 10 months, and I'm very glad we did.
Allie, my husband is a photographer and so I benefit from his excellent skills & equipment. For the top two shots he was using his Nikon D700. The bottom one of the braid I took with my iPhone. lol.
Lizzy, you're absolutely right. She's been a princess two years in a row. Although she tells me very emphatically that next year she's going to be Ahsoka from Star Wars. That's my girl.
I LOVE the flowers in her hair! Gorgeous!
