and we're back!

all the trips are done for now, thank goodness. now on to normal life. claire has the flying thing down, and the fact that she always charms the stewardesses (resulting in special treatment!) makes it fairly do-able. being alone turned out better than expected- got a lot done, had some quiet time to myself, spent some time with linds, and got a few extra hours in at work. wanted to share a few pics from claire and joe's trip to NC.


claire with some of her greats- typical face.

more greats. so funny

all the brewer cousins. she adores all of her cousins. and i think they adore her? really wish they could see each other more often. yes she is wearing tennis shoes. she needs them.


and now my buddy is back!

so..... my mom had a wheat grinder and a bread maker that she wasn't using, and over the last couple of trips we have gotten the machines through the airports and out here to utah. linds and i decided to try them out last week, and the first attempt at wheat grinding was successful, and uh, quite funny (pictures and a video later lindsay?). we got a delicious loaf of bread from it, and i am now hooked. my kitchen is now a bakery. claire normally does NOT like machines, but she was highly intrigued by this one!




perhaps she liked the delicious smells coming from it? i am HOOKED. and i think claire will be inheriting my love of bread.
with this little thing making bread is CHEAP, EASY, and makes my house smeall HEAVENLY. a thick slice spread with a little butter and homemade jam, oh so nummy. anyone need a loaf?

Great pictures! Claire's cousins DID love her. They were so cute saying her name. She crawled under the pew at Church to Laura, while I held Paige. Paige kept asking "Where is Claire?" and looking under the pew. It took her a long time to realize her Mama had her....then it was all over...but it was cute. My words can't express how much it meant to have Claire and Joseph her. The only thing to make it better is if you had come. It was a great ending to a hard summer. We love you all and miss you much.
