Carolyn and Christina were unable to make it tonight but we did have 2 new members....Lauren Lakeman and Connor Shea! They were born just 3 days apart. Lauren on July 26 and Connor on July 29th! They are both adorable and healthy. Kelly is adjusting to the two child life really well. For us, Connor has been an easy baby and going from 2 to 3 hasn't been as difficult as going from 1 to 2 in my opinion. So far so good, but they are only a month old...;o)
Only Ryan and I finished the book this time, so we kind of told the story to the rest of the group. It is a memoir of a girl who grew up very poor to very eccentric, nomadic parents. The parents got me so angry with their carelessness and foolish behavior. They seemed to have no regard for their children whatsoever. The kids pretty much raised themselves and it broke my heart. The dad was an alcoholic and the mother mentally ill, yes, but come on. They showed no responsibility for those kids. Quite a depressing story. It amazes me how some children, who grow up in horrible situations, can come out as strong, smart, loving and productive members of society, when other kids, who have it all, turn out as monsters.
The food was really good, and a glass of wine tasted quite nice. Another fun night with the girls.
