Saturday Snapshot 9/29

At Home with Books hosts Saturday Snapshot.


Well, I had almost no time for either reading or writing blogs this week (apologies to those I didn't get to!) because my son had knee surgery on Monday.  His recovery has been slower and more difficult than we expected, so I have been entirely focused on taking care of him.  We were both getting a bit stir-crazy, though, by the end of the week, so I took him the pet store to pick out a new hamster.  We had one several years ago - our beloved Teddy - and he's been asking for another, so now he has a little buddy to keep him company while he recuperates.


After an awful week, a visit to the pet store put a smile on Craig's face!

Meet Lola, our newest family member!

I hope you are enjoying your weekend!
