Dad's "Souper!"

Was Aaron's comment last night after Michael made some yummy chicken soup. Evey volunteered to cut the onions. We told her it tasted extra good because she helped make it. She agreed it was tasty and ate two bowls full.

::::::::::::To Noah's Surprise:::::::

he has a loose bottom tooth. He told be his tooth was bothering him, so I promptly took a look and sure enough it is very wiggly. He was pleased as punch! This will be his first tooth and he is already spending the money that he hasn't gotten, yet.

::::::::::::The Bourne Identity:::::

was a book I had to rush to read because the queue to read it wouldn't allow for me to recheck it out. I usually read a book first, then watch the movie. In this case the order was reversed. The book was fast paced and packed with dialogue and body counts. Ludlum doesn't frustrate the reader for long by dropping bread crumbs along the way of information, so you don't feel as lost as the amnesiac main character. You also develop sympathy for "Jason Bourne" within a few chapters, so you care what happens to the character. I enjoyed the book and will check out the sequels, shortly. The changes from the book to the big screen for Marie were significant, but I liked them both. A very tangled web, indeed, with all of the antics of assassins and government covert operations. I recommend reading it if you enjoy spy thrillers.

Until later! Smiles!
