Yes, we are huge Harry Potter fans and we were so excited for the book to come out on Saturday. I have to say we are not the die hard fans that got the book at Midnight on Saturday. We waited until 10 AM and bought it at Target without any lines or crowds. Thursday, my mom watched Drew while Ryan and I went and saw the movie of the 5th Harry Potter. Thanks Mom! It was really good. I wanted to see the movie before we started to read the last book. We read together which is a lot of fun. I am usually the one reading out loud because I can read faster. On Saturday, we read just over 400 pages and Sunday we read just over 200 pages. I can't wait for Ryan to get home from work so we can finish the book tonight. We stopped just as it started to get really good. So we have been quite the bums this last weekend.

But Drew got his first tooth! YAYAYAYA! We were so excited and he is now back to taking good naps, at least for the past 2 days. I bought the Einstein Lullabies CD and play it during all of his naps. I just set the player to repeat the CD so it never stops. This morning I had to wake him up after he had already slept 2 1/2 hours. Hopefully it continues. I think the music really helps. He used to not be a light sleeper but lately he would wake up to the phone ringing and the door bell. Thank goodness for modern conveniences.

UPDATE: Yes, we finished the book Monday night. It was really good. Way worth the time and effort in reading it. I would highly suggest anyone who hasn't read the Harry Potter series to read it entirely. Each book is better than the one before it. The 7th book is definately the best!

I am glad that his tooth finally came in. And you guys are the biggest nerds in the world reading that book. Ryan and Matt made me laugh so hard on Sunday!!! Too cute

Hey -- it was fun running into you yesterday at Costco! My kids were climbing all over me like a jungle gym though; that's what you have to look forward to :)

I do like to read when I have time but when is that??? I often read a book on vacation but once I pick one up I can't put it down, so I usually just don't start them since NOTHING gets done for those few days. Some day I'll read the whole Harry Potter series!

I have to agree with Cindi- You are a big nerd. I'm glad Drew is doing so well. I know he will keep sleeping well for you!

Blah, Blah, Blah...I have no interest to read it. Matt is dieing for me to. He won't tell me who dies in the book cause he wants me to read it.
