Last night Kelly baked again. This time, she made cookies with apricot and raspberry fillings (not together–the different fillings were in different cookies). She has promised me that she is going to make me a batch of moist and chewy oatmeal, raisin cookies. I can hardly wait. She has been baking bread just about every other day, too. It is really handy to use the bread machine, but I am trying to convince her to take the bread out of the bread machine before the last step so it can rise for the last time and be cooked in a regular bread pan. That is about as good as it gets. Kelly and Lorena are plotting to try some whole grain/multi-grain bread next. That sounds super, too. The problem is that it is WAY fattening.
Things are still crazy at work, but last night Christian and I were able to spend about an hour together working on math. It was great. I am going to make a priority of doing that every night with both Kelly and Christian. We need to keep reading on our books together, too. It just makes life in the family better when our priorities are for preferring each other!
