here comes trouble

yesterday, caleb took his first assisted steps.

sweet treats

this afternoon, daddy had *delicious* valentine's cupcakes 

from our friend cheri delivered for his little lovelies.

thank you, daddy!

a kiss for you

armed with forty bags of hershey's kisses and some major help from the inside (thanks, alex!), i managed to carry on in a ten year tradition of embarrassing bryan at work on valentine's day.

bryan, for his part, continues to be genuinely surprised.

for more on this tradition, read here.

happy love day, ya'll!

and if you happen to be near bryan's desk at amazon, go help him polish off some of that chocolate.

superhero valentines

because who doesn't love a superhero?

baking disaster

so these little truffley treats used to be heart shaped chocolate chip cookies on a stick:

it's true. they were.

only they weren't really heart shaped chocolate chip cookies on a stick. they were more like ugly blob/uterus shaped chocolate chip cookies on a stick.

you see, the internet has been trying to convince me for years that heart shaped chocolate chip cookies exist, but they don't, people. they absolutely do. not.

thankfully, almost any baking disaster/blobbity organ cookie can be salvaged with a food processor, cream cheese, and sprinkles.

ski lesson one, take two

success!

having taken to heart the hard-knock lessons we learned from our previous ski experience, we ended up managing this week's excursion without a hitch.

slopes, ho!
