Pray for my friend Laura

Hi all!

Please say a prayer for my best friend Laura and her husband Chip (William) as they are getting their new baby boy, Owen in Seoul, Korea today (hopefully). Check out their blog at www.owenbird.blogspot.com They also have twin girls, Caroline and Jane who they have adopted from China almost exactly 3 years ago. It is such a big, difficult process, I can't even imagine. But, I am addicted to checking their site every couple of hours to see if they have him yet. I have been a soundboard for Laura all these months of waiting. I am so happy they almost have him!

Love you all of you,
M

Book ideas

I have been reading alot lately....children's books. I have been taking an elementary ed. literacy class and I am supposed to read 30 children's books this quarter. I usually read a great deal, but mostly our home books that are getting a little old and tired. I am loving the children's books.

So, please tell me what your favorite children's books are (you are helping me with my homework)! I am also making a shift as an aspiring book writer of a non-fiction or novel for adults to a children's book author. Yes, I love it that much!

I have a couple of ideas of what books to write, I just need to do it! I even have a friend to illustrate them...

Hope you are well!

Love,
M
