Love how Emmett  is taking the change, like a duck to water. I'm somehow not surprised, it's  how I always pictured he would be, kind of gung-ho. He is kind of cute in his enthusiasum, like a big kid. Now, back to Edward, beaut- iful, trusting, Edward. Then on to Jasper!

Poor Jasper, I know exactly how he feels. Yuck! Well, boys and girls, so far, so good. Love all the abilities that seem to be manifesting themselves, this is a talented family of brothers, evidently.

That was unexpected. How the hell did Charlie get mixed up in all this? The surprises just keep on coming, don't they? I'm sensing pretty good stuff, though, so, bring it on.

If that doesn't get you all choked up, nothing will. That is just the best plot twist, ever! Wish my brain could think neat things like that. Guess I'll have to settle for reading only.

This proves that honesty really is the best policy. Edward confesses his evil, devious plans, but recants and is forgiven. Can't beat a deal like that! And, from the looks of that last sentence, he is about to receive his reward.

Edward certainly covered himself in glory, at least in Emmett's eyes! Matter of fact, he kind of impressed Bella, too, I would think, as well as himself. Esme may not forgive him anytime soon for the destruction, but I have a sneaking suspicion neither Bella nor Edward really care too much. Talk about afterglow!!!!!!!

I'm glad Max finally told his dad about his decision, and what made him change his mind. Robert sure felt terrible about hurting his son. He forgets he's a vampire sometimes. Boy, is it handy to have a vampire doctor just down the road. With teenage boys, it's practically  a necessity!

The painful thing here is teens thinking everything in their lives is a tragedy and irreversible. They haven't lived long enough to know any better, so all we adults can do is hurt for them and try to ease their misery. Max is a really stubborn kid, with rejection  issues, plus he's breaking Taylor's heart.

Life goes on , even for the Cullens and the wolf pack. I wonder what effect the new neighbors will have on everybody? There's sure to be something, what with an unknown vampire coming around Christmas-time. Too bad about Bella's parents, shae lost them too soon.

Isn't that a kick in the head? Robert Foster sure is a very different kind of vampire, and his family even more different! It's hopefully a good thing for the two families to get to know each other. Might make life easier for all concerned, especially the Foster children. Wonder what Ollie and Clarisse are going to think of all the supernatural creatures living so close?

These folks are getting to be the E-Harmony of the supernatural world. First Seth and Ayla and now Carl and Leah. Kind of makes me  wonder who's next? Maybe Robert will find someone to spend eternity with! Anything is possible with this bunch!

Fancy that, a vampire doctor that makes houses calls! I sure hope Robert gets a handle on his younger children, and soon. The boys can probably be salvaged, if he hurries. Ayla came so close to confessing about Tomas and I'm sorry she didn't just go ahead and get it off her consience. Things are looking up a bit in the Foster household, that most likely means something bad is about to happen, though I hope not. Carlisle telling Bianca to expect twins was cute, too.

Robert Foster may yet get the hang of being a father, to all his children. Esme is just a marvel of motherliness and just what Max needed. What fun, to have Leah ticked at Carl and Ayla mad at her dad as well as Seth. That's a pitiful attitude daddies have about their little girls.
