{newest cookies}

Here's a quick run-down of some recent cookie orders:

Custom baby gift boxes for a set of twins. Hailey's middle name is Rose, hence the rose on the onsie and Hannah's middle name is Lily, so I put a lily on her onsie. This was my first attempt at so much writing on a single cookie (and cursive, too!)
All boxed up:

Another custom baby gift box for a little boy, Lucas:

Onsies for one of Debbie's coworkers. She got them a cute basket and knitted (or crocheted?) a sweater and put them all together. I think the gift turned out really cute.

Hello Kitty cookies:
Shofars and Jewish stars for Rosh Hashana/Yom Kippur:


A funny gift box for Gerard's teacher's friend. She turned 60, her name is Roxann, she's a grandma, they have a lake house, and "Trophy Wife" is an inside joke between them. This one was fun to do.

I gave away 4 half-dozen pink ribbon cookies to breast cancer survivors:

Morgan's teacher is a huge Michigan State Spartans fan. Yesterday was homecoming, so she asked me to do 18 "S" cookies. I threw in the Sparty cookies as a little surprise. Her husband liked them so much that he already placed an order for 9 one dozen Christmas cookies for his store managers (he runs a large chain of restaurants).

Once again I find myself having to apologize for not posting in so long. I'm sure you're getting tired of hearing "We've been very busy", but it's the honest truth. I even have some pictures to share from THE SUMMER!

So, to get right down to business, here are some shots from a trip to the zoo at the end of the summer. We had a really nice time -- the kids navigated using the zoo maps and I don't think they missed anything, including the peacocks that wander around the zoo interacting with the people and feeding the giraffes.

We've had an interesting fall. The weather was beautiful for quite a while, then it got really cold and rained for days on end, and these last few days it has been beautiful again. So far we enjoyed a visit from Aunt Debbie (and went to the apple orchard), a visit from Grandma and Grandpa for Rosh Hashana, a family trip to the pumpkin patch, and Morgan's class trip to the apple orchard. Here's a glimpse:

Morgan's picture day at school was a couple of weeks ago. Doesn't she look cute?

Morgan is taking dance again, this time it's ballet and hip hop. They're really so cute! I took this video a few weeks ago with my phone -- enjoy!

Gerard is taking a hip hop class, too, and I'll post video of him sometime soon.
