#312 - Don't Like Cooking in the Bathroom

Broccoli Cheese Soup

When I was a brand new mother, my mom cooked casseroles and baked pies for Don and me. I'm no longer amused by our Airbnb limitations. I want to cook!

This morning, I tried. I cooked fresh broccoli in the microwave. Then I made the cheese soup in a crockpot. The crockpot has to be in the bathroom, because we have smoke alarm and fuse issues, elsewhere. We also have a teeniest sink and no counter space. It took me all morning to make this soup!

Ticket for Baby Time!

Don and I don't really have to buy our way to spending time with our grandbaby. But it felt so right to arrive with soup, bread and salad today!

We brought soup and I held Charlie! I am so happy!

Baths and Bouncy Seat

Then I chatted while Heidi gave Charlotte a sponge bath. Oh what good memories I have of doing that with my mom.

Don and Jamie went upstairs and worked on some window shades and put the bouncy seat together. It feels good to help.

Happy Birthday

​And this little cutie turned 1 week, today! Heidi spread out the little blanket with numbers. We never had these things when Heidi was a baby.

Should we iron this thing? Nah. Charlie didn't want to lie on her back and pose, either. We took a few snaps then moved on. 

It's sad to think that in one year, this little blanket will need to retire. Charlie will be 12 months... no more numbers to circle. But what fun to think of Charlie at 1 year taking on the world... a safer world with unmasked faces! Now that will be fun!
