Who Does Maelin Look Like? Cast Your Vote!

I'm always getting questioned about who I think Maelin looks like: me, Kevin, Grandmas and Grandpas, Aunts and Uncles, George W., etc.

Here's your chance to take a look at Maelin and tell me who YOU think she looks like. Thanks for your input!

This is MaeMae at the museum playing with the trucks when I told her to share with the other kids. She wasn't real thrilled.

This is Maelin at a mexican resturant by our new house...she so rarely wears a dress these days I had to take a picture of her in it (they're hard to crawl in so even though we have lots of dresses, she doesn't wear them very much)

Take a gander at our little cutie and tell me who you think she looks like!

Stina said...: As a baby, I thought she looked just like Kevin. And as she gets older... I still think she looks like Kevin but more and more like Grandma Leah. Regardless of who she looks like... she got the best genes of both of you. She's gorgeous!; July 12, 2008 at 8:25 PM

Must Read Books & Great Authors

"A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" is a novel by Betty Smith first published in 1943. It relates the coming-of-age story of its main character, Francie Nolan, and her Irish-American family struggling against poverty in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York. The novel is set in the first and second decades of the 20th century. The book was an immense success, a nationwide best-seller that was distributed to servicemen overseas.
"Gone With the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell. This is my all-time favorite book and you MUST read this at least once in your lifetime. It has won the Pulitzer Prize, it is available in 31 different countries and it has been hearlded as "The Great Amercian Novel"
"My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult is a heart-wrenching novel about what it means to be a good parent, a good person and a good sister. Kate has had cancer since childhood and her younger sister Anna was concevied to be a perfect-match bone marrow donor for her. As Anna grows up, she struggles with how she and world will see the rights of her own body. This novel is the first book in years that had me crying. It was very well written and very enjoyable if you're in the mood for a tear-jerker.
"The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls is a memoir about a nomadic, deprived childhood told with the wonderment of a child who always wants to believe that Daddy will be a hero in the end and that Momma really does know best. You are enrapt reading about Walls and her siblings rifling through trash cans at school looking for food, doing the skedaddle in the middle of the night, or waiting for Dad to come home after another bender. It's a riveting story and a testament to Walls' desire to rise above a life that could have easily turned her into just another tragic headline. I really appreciated this story because of the very real probability that some of my students are living this very life.
One of my favorite authors (I have everything she's ever written) is Marian Keyes whose stories are set in Britian or Ireland. She is the internationally bestselling author of Watermelon (which is my favorite), Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married, Rachel's Holiday, The Last Chance Saloon, Angels, Sushi for Beginners, Under the Duvet, and her latest, The Other Side of the Story. Her books have touched readers around the world, and they are now published in 35 countries and in many different languages.
