7 lbs, 4 oz (the smallest of the 4)
we are home, all is well - if i had to describe the mood it would be twitterpated
i downloaded a few Kindle books to take advantage of the extra reading time, but admittedly i can't take my eyes off her
back soon - thanks to you all for sticking it out with me.
the end.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Eleanor Virginia:
David Sacks: Vigfus the Viking
laugh out loud funny, and the kids like it too :)
Michael Bedard: Emily
beautifully illustrated story of a little girl who lives next door to Emily Dickinson
Laurie Halse Anderson: Fever 1793
KWB's summer reading
David L. Weitzman: Pharaoh's Boat
with 2 older boys who have studied Egypt - this presents a lot information beautifully
Lauren Child: Charlie and Lola: We Are Extremely Very Good Recyclers (Charlie & Lola)
Suzanne Collins: Catching Fire (The Second Book of the Hunger Games)
i appreciated the slower parts and thought the end was rushed. i'm also not sure i like the added emphasis on the romantic part of the story - i hope it's not the influence of twilight. (****)
Rebecca Stead: When You Reach Me
going on my top 10 list this year (*****)
Dan Chaon: Await Your Reply: A Novel
another 3.5 - much hyped and there lies my disappointment. i just didn't care about the story or characters until about 2/3 of the way through, and then soon after figured out the clever twist. but a very well written clever twist. (***)
Jenna Blum: Those Who Save Us
i'm hovering in between a 3 and 4...3.5? another perspective - a German woman's survival during WW2. it think I need a break from this genre. (***)

(*****)
Maeve Binchy: Heart and Soul
