Amanda Blake Soule: The Creative Family: How to Encourage Imagination and Nurture Family Connections
Miroslav Sasek : This is New York
Wonderful illustrations and colors and so much nostalgia and heart.
Paul Auster: The Brooklyn Follies
I got it passed on from CS and I enjoy recognizing all the Park Slope joints in this book.
Madeleine Albright: Mighty and almighty
Because I want to read something political, and something written by a woman who's a democrat definitely makes it easier to keep up my interest when kids and life easily distract.
Caps for Sale: A Tale of a Peddler, Some Monkeys and Their Monkey Business
A book that Randolphina (Leo) got from Becca when he wasn't even "the size of a period mark"... Ezra loves it, and I find great inspiration in the color scheme and the illustrations. Hopefully I can use it soon for some kind of project...
The Bilingual Family
This one speaks for itself... Hope we're going to sort it all out eventually.
Suze Orman: The Money Book for the Young, Fabulous & Broke
Despite the flashy cover and 80's look of the author, it's a great book for learning how to get money savvy. Wish I found it earlier!
Siri Hustvedt: The Enchantment of Lily Dahl : A Novel
Because I loved her latest book "What I loved". It made my feelings go berserk. And because she's an interesting and inspiring woman, living in my old neighborhood Park Slope.

Suppose everybody would rather be in the Baltimore/Washington area these days :)
Yep, very rarely quiet here. At least one son talks constantly all day :)
Joshua is knitting (finishing up?) a scarf that he started when Ezra was a baby...
happy saturday everybody!
