Yesterday

Yesterday I finally baked Pumpkin Spice Brioche, which I've been longing to do for months and months and months since I got the cookbook forever ago and found the recipe. Mmmmm it turned out delicious and I really shouldn't be eating as much of it as I have...but I just can't. help. it. It's very moist and tastes like fall. Thanks again Nicole and Mom for making it possible!

Yesterday I caught Lily standing up at her pack-n-play as if to say, "Hey Mom, can I play in here some more?" (Or maybe, "Hey, this is where Mom tortures me!") and I wanted to snap a picture but she heard me and came crawling lickity-split to tell me how much she loves me...or to try to grab the camera. But either way I love this shot. If I ever complain about my mommy-job can someone kick me in the head? I mean, look at this face! I get to see this face and this smile all day long! *Sigh* I'm so in love with her.

Speaking of being in love, my Love had a bad day yesterday because he got a bad grade on his test. You know things are competitive around here when a 90% is a "bad grade". (A few people scored higher, or as good as him, and he's thinking he might be "down" in only the top five instead of the top three, which he's gunning for so he has the best chance of picking a base he wants. SO pray for him to do better on his next one in 3-4 weeks. He's working really hard, but wants to study even more. Poor guy.)

To cheer him up we devoured a large stuffed crust pizza and watched Iron Man 2. And I told him to pick out a treat for me to bake this weekend...just trying to be encouraging here! ;o) And trying to get all my fun baking in before I have no more time!
