little julia

it's been a weekend full of fun stuff around here, which is a welcome relief after all that bathroom business. yesterday involved trips to the park, making footprints in the snow and homemade chicken soup. today was more of the same... plus baking! since mommy is trying to cram alot of work into the "weekend off" from home improvement, isa and daddy are getting in some good quality time. this morning, that entailed pulling all of the carrots out of the garden, which is now snow free. but what to do with so many carrots, we wondered? two words: carrot cake. apparently me being pregnant has given both of us a sweet tooth. so isa and daddy had an adventure in baking this morning. isa was quite the helper, hence the new nickname of "little julia."

here are some pictures from the endeavor. take a good look at the old cabinets and linoleum in the background. as of next weekend, they will be gone! that's right... next saturday the kitchen makeover begins. let's hope it doesn't take quite as long as the bathroom though, being that the clock is ticking until we re-enter babyworld again!
