I'm spending this Canada Day long weekend in Vancouver. My flight leaves Thursday afternoon and I'll arrive in time for a late dinner with my family - which includes our newest addition, GMC, aka Baby Boy.
My Piglet was apparently having some trouble adjusting to not being the centre of attention anymore, which I could sympathize with as the eldest child, if only I remembered what it felt like at 17 months when my sister was first born.
I've spent the last couple nights baking - chewy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies favoured by my Piglet and coconut berry scones for my sister. I used frozen blueberries and strawberries in the latter which melted as they were mixed in my food processor, resulting in a rather wet dough. The star- and heart-shaped scones were rather goo-y (left) but turned out reasonably well once baked (right). I like to serve them with Devonshire cream and jam (mmmmmm) but my taste-test suggests that they're also fine as-is.
Soooo looking forward to cuddles with my Piglet and eskimo kisses with Baby Boy!
