When Chris goes to Turkey, we call in the reinforcements

I was looking through my pictures and realized I didn't mention anything about the week that Chris was in Turkey and my best friend Corrie came in for reinforcements. It's a little easier to care for the kids for 10 days when you have a little help. Thank goodness for this lady!

We ate. A lot.
At Charlie's Kitchen devouring some steak sandwiches and tomato soup!

We road tripped. Kind of a blast from the past, if you will.
Hello Vermont. It's April, didn't you get the memo?

Who cares about snow when you get to visit the King Arthur Flour Company? Micah was a little scared of the Knight, but we managed one cautious pic.

We baked. A lot. We pretty much worked our way through Joanne Chang's Flour cookbook. Lots of great stuff in there!
Brioche, Sticky Sticky buns, Boston Cream donuts! Good thing we did Jillian's circuit every morning. Chris was quite disappointed to hear that we baked all these delicious treats while he was out of the country, but what can I say? It's what we do when we get together! 


My kids will definitely miss having Corrie around. What a huge treat! Come back soon!
