Week of July 16th



Did you know...
That the first week of August is World Breastfeeding Week? Here is how Celebrity Baby Blog is celebrating. They are encouraging people to share their breastfeeding photos. Looking at the gorgeous and wonderful photos from last year was almost enough to make me want another baby (and those of you who know me know that is saying a lot). This year's photos so far are here. Here is one of my few pictures. Apparently, we rarely got our act together enough to keep all three kiddos happy AND capture it on film at the same time.

Book Group
Tuesday, July 17, 2007, 6:00 p.m. at the Wild Oats Cafe. Dispatches from a not-so-perfect life : or how I learned to love the house, the man, the child by Faulkner Fox. Cheryl is the host and she has come up with some great questions about the book and specifically how it relates to an Attachment Parenting lifestyle. I'm really looking forward to the discussion.

Note we are meeting 30 minutes earlier than usual to pick out future books. Bring any and all book suggestions.

Please bring your children if you want to/need to. Email Cheryl for more info.

Playgroup
Friday, July 20th, Blakely Park Meet about 10 am, earlier if you want to try to beat the heat.

Family Gathering
Sunday July 22 at 4pm, Tumalo State Park Day Use Area. The reservable day use areas (near the pay station) are already taken, so we are meeting in the regular day use area. Continue driving until the driveway becomes a one-way with parking on both sides. I'll try to get a balloon to tie where you should come down towards the river. Mark your calendars, bring a dish to share, and come join us for some fun! Please RSVP to Aria.
