It was going to be hers

A few days ago I pulled some scrapbooks out of the closet to scan some pictures and in putting one of the scrapbooks away I found something I wasn’t expecting. It was a baby book. In fact, it was the baby book I had bought for Carleigh. I had gotten it before we knew she was a boy or a girl and intended to use it regardless.

Of course, it turned out I was never able to use it. I must have tucked it away intending to perhaps use it for another one of our children but it became forgotten and was stored for almost 4 years.

Now that it is out of hiding this baby book will actually be used. Not by me, as I already bought a baby book for Evanee but I am going to give it to my sister for her baby that is due in October. It seems only right that this book should be written in as it was intended.

Do you have your book yet?

This post is for the Read With Us group. For those of you who are joining in on reading Lynnette's book In Faithfulness, He Afflicted Me I would just like to know if you have gotten your books yet. I was supposed to get mine Friday but of course the post office was closed. I'm expecting to get it tomorrow. So depending on who has theirs yet and who doesn't will determine when we start reading. If most everybody has theirs then we will go ahead and start reading tomorrow.

This is how it will work. Each chapter we will spend a week on that way you can take your time reading it. We all know how spare time can be hard to come by. (If you think we should shorten the time just let me know please!) Either on Monday or Tuesday I will post some questions or thoughts for discussion. On your own blog you then write your answers and/or your own thoughts. Don't forget to put the Read With Us button on too! Then you will link your blog back to mine via a linky system. That way everyone can go to your blog and see what you think of the book and what you are getting out of it. Sounds easy enough, right?

Just leave a comment and let me know about your books! Can't wait to starting reading with you all!
