A Fun Afternoon

This afternoon Rachel and I baked cookies. I have pretty much given up on baking here. I still haven't figured my oven out and it just frustrates me. So, this was a rarity. We inherited some chocolate chips from some friends moving back to the U.S. and I still had a cookie mix sitting around. So, we made chocolate chip-peanut butter cookies. I really do enjoy baking and can't wait until we get back home and have a normal oven that will cook like we're used to. More bonding moments to come... Rachel enjoyed testing out the cookie batter...
And of course the finished product.
Audrey was there bonding with us as well. She played away in her exersaucer while Rachel and I baked. Right now she is totally fascinated with the three little piano keys. She doesn't have the luxury, like Rachel did, to pound away on a real piano. We might have a future pianist on our hands...

Laura,
You didn't tell us how the finished product tasted? From the look on Rachel's face it turned out good.
You have had a couple of very exciting days. I'm glad you had a great Birthday and Mother's Day. One more year of enjoying your 20's; then you get to joy us in the 30's.
Love,
Paul

Wow, you've been up to so much Laura! I'm just now getting caught up on it all. Your trip to Switzerland looks awesome. The one picture reminds me of something from The Sound of Music!:) I'm so amazed at all your neat experiences there. Truly amazing. I hope you had a lovely birthday and Mother's Day. It looks like you did! Rachel is getting so big and changing; it's so fun to watch your girls grow through blogs. So glad we can keep in touch!
