I admit I have a hard time reading stories about atrocities committed against the Jews. But, the name Elie Wiesel sounds really familiar. I wonder if I read something else by that author? I'll have to check out the other book you recommended too.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14772596888093079960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936438186673617301.post-92050365522312444082012-03-05T13:21:23.000-05:002012-03-05T13:21:23.000-05:00Oh Emma.

The funny thing is I always imagined I'd have girls. But, that doesn't seem to be part of God's plan for our family. I will say that having boys has actually helped me understand my husband better (I only grew up with sisters, no brothers).Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14772596888093079960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936438186673617301.post-16619887281860590472012-03-05T13:18:55.769-05:002012-03-05T13:18:55.769-05:00Hi Kerry!

But they really did have so much fun together. And, that's a good thing, because often they are fighting. When they are outside & getting dirty though, they can get along.

He was a teen when his family (Jews) were taken from their home in 1944. He writes from the perspective of the naive Jews. Also the book Veiled Freedom by J.M.Windle, a journalist who lived in Afghanistan. Her detailed research leads to writing so realistic that it prompted the gov. agencies to question her to determine if she has received classified inf.

I take a hose to them outside when they get covered--the last time, it was probably 50-60°F outside! Then, we swish the clothes in a tub or bucket of water outside--I try to make the boys do that--until most of the mud is off. After living on a "sand dune" for 10 years, the clay we have here is a whole different challenge!Emmahttp://lotsofhelpers.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936438186673617301.post-21815096629628254332012-03-02T09:37:38.947-05:002012-03-02T09:37:38.947-05:00very informative blog i really like your article ...very informative blog i really like your article thanks for sharing it.....<br /><br /><a href="http://www.dubaiultimatecharter.com/" rel="nofollow">boats in uae</a>jhopes70https://www.blogger.com/profile/08497841222300778856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-936438186673617301.post-16337962213024183412012-03-01T05:48:02.944-05:002012-03-01T05:48:02.944-05:00Oh my gosh!!
