When Hope was younger I used to anxiously await the day we could make cookies together. Now she's old enough and not only loves cookies, she wants to help with everything. Lots of times we have a great time and I love that we get to do that together. She's getting great at breaking the eggs and loves to measure; she's quite the cook. Sometimes though it's a big challenge and tests my patience. She's gotten so confident she doesn't always wait for instructions. The other night we were making calzones and she decided she could handle the garlic powder by herself. Thankfully they weren't as bad as expected. She also loves buttons and can't wait to get to turn on the mixer, chopper or blender (recently before I could get the lid on). I know I'll appreciate all of it when I can turn her lose and she whips up something yummy.
We are always wishing we could see family and friends who live too far away more often. Hopefully this will help you feel more in touch with our lives and we'll get to hear from you too. Stef introduced me to this like two years ago and I loved it then, finally I'm getting ours done. I hope this will be fun for everybody and that you'll enjoy being able to see us (Hope and Ben) anytime you want and keep up on all of their new things. Here's a couple of photos from our last few months to get started.
