A few weeks ago, I finally picked up the first Harry Potter book.  Josh had given me the 5 book set for Christmas 2 years ago and I just never got around to reading them.  I haven't been able to set them down!!  3 weeks into it, I'm now over half way through the third book and completely understand the hysteria that Harry Potter brings to everyone around the world!! 

I find myself thinking about the book when I'm cooking dinner and I'm even having dreams about it.  It's all pretty sad, really.  I'm sure that when I'm finally done with them, I'll be reading them again with Marisa when she's older.  She's already starting to show some real interest them!!  I was reading the Prisoner of Azkaban to her while she was sick in this photo. 



So, I've decided not to start any new projects until I've finished the first 5 books. 

We're also happy to report that Marisa is 95% better.  She still has a small lingering cough, but her appetite has returned and she's running around like a wild woman again!  It's great to see her healthy again!
