The Week that Ollie Arrived

My mom and Kathleen and her sweet Eden came to be here when Oliver was born. The kids were in heaven having their beloved Grandma and Auntie and "Baby-Eden" here (it's never just "Eden"). Poor Eden was smothered by hugs and kisses and curious, doting cousins all day, every day. It was a good distraction for the kids during such a big change and a lack of a Mommy around the house.  

My mom is brave and always lets the kids join her in cooking amazing dishes.

look at these flower-shaped apple puff pastries!

their expressions say it all. :)
