The Book Thief and Pigtails

So in an attempt to get more involved and meet more people here in Flagstaff I decided to read the book for the ward book club this month which was: The Book Thief.

I actually have never read for personal enjoyment a book like this. I had no idea what it was about before I started it, I thought it would be a small book (which it's not... 560 pages) and the authors style of writing is WAY different than anything I've read, but I actually really really liked it. There's not a whole lot of suspense in it I guess cause the narrorator pretty much up front introduces a character than says "too bad he doesn't make it in the end" or something to that effect, which I thought was funny, but it ended up having a different effect as you were reading cause the whole time you're thinking...hmmm when are they going to die, how sad. It's set in Nazi Germany. Anyways I really enjoyed it and am kind of interested to see what another one of his books are like. If anyone has read any of his (Markus Zusak) other books let me know :D

So yesterday when I finished it I decided to make Weinerschnitzel for dinner and German potatoe salad :D I know I'm a dork...but it was delicious!! I had my own little book club celebration :D

And in other news we gave side pigtails for the first time this last week. Pretty funny and cute :D

If anyone has any other book suggestions I'm up for it!!!

DOC??

So, we've always had a little joke that Emrie's hair reminds us of Docs from Back to the Future...But this night while eating dinner she really ruffled her hair making what little fuzz she has on top stick down and the long fine blond blond hair on bottom stick out and this is how it turned out:
DOC:


AND the Imitation:
She looks a little scary in the above so I had to throw a cute faced one in there :D

I've really been trying to make sure I'm brushing the top to stimulate some growth, but not much change yet, guess that's what happens with a very fair daddy and a mommy who didn't help out either :D Hopefully it comes soon, until then, she is very cute version of Doc I think.
