The bun is done! As I mentioned before, I was expecting my first baby in June. This child decided to make a fashionably late, but a very welcome and much-anticipated, appearance. Chris and I welcomed Claire Elise Oliver into our family on June 23, 2010, at 7:01 pm and she weighed 6 lbs., 10 oz. Now almost two weeks later, Claire is thriving, I'm both exhausted and ecstatic as a first-time mom, and Chris is enjoying his new role as daddy and Claire's personal photographer. (Speaking of photography, thanks to Chris for the new profile pic and to his mom, Linda, for the fantastic Cooking in Clarendon apron.)
Claire's arrival also marks 9 months from when this Cooking in Clarendon blog was birthed, though it wasn't planned that way. Though to me, it's a joyful reminder of how my passions of family and food are intertwined and I'm grateful for both.
More recipes and other posts to follow in the coming days...I leave you with this:
