Michelle and Jossan's Going Away Playgroup

Our friends Michelle and Jossan from Atlanta Mommas are moving to Lake Tahoe. Michelle's husband got transferred with his job, so they will be leaving us soon! We had one last playgroup with them for everyone to say good-bye. Alex was an absolute angel. When we first got there, another mom was getting out of her van at the same time as us and Alex went up to her and asked if she needed any help with anything. He can be such a gentleman when he wants to, can't he?


I finished the trashy romantic suspense novel I was reading tonight. It is called Cold Target by Patricia Potter. I haven't done much reading since the baby has been born. I just haven't made the time for it really, so it was nice to curl up with a mediocre book. It was an interesting enough plot. Somewhat suspenseful. The only thing I really didn't like was that at times, I felt like I was reading something I had already read because she overuses some words and phrases. This is a short synopsis of the book:

In the dead of night, Holly Matthews--the wife of a New Orleans senator--takes her son and flees for her life...

At her mother's deathbed, lwyer Meredith Rawson learns that she has a sister--and promises to find her...

As Holly and her son try to start over in Bisbee, Arizona, Meredith begins a desperate search for information on her long lost sister. Almost instantly, her life is threatened and her house ransacked. She finds help--and passion--from an unexpected source. Detective Gage Gaynor is investigating a closed murder case that dead ends at Meredith's powerful family. As sparks fly between them, they begin to rebuild the past, linking Meredith and Holly in a conspiracy of lies that could shatter their lives--and the dreams they never had a chance to dream.
