baby weekend: success! and WWC #2

hi! quick post! i'm swamped at work because i'm covering for an out of town coworker, which = virtually no time for blogging. but! i had a lovely, lovely weekend with my friend + her new baby, and OH MY GOODNESS thank you, you guys, for all of your spectacular suggestions. i made cookies, muffins, and lasagna, thanks to your awesome input. i made the lasagna in little bread-sized tins, like for banana bread, so she could pull one out at a time and make one 2-person-sized lasagna at a time for dinner. she was a) very impressed that i cooked, since she had the pleasure of knowing me in college where i subsisted entirely on kraft mac & cheese and ramen, and b) very touched that i came down at all. so blogland: a hearty thank you from both me and my lovely new mama friend :-)

and on to my second WWC! the words this week were close up and background. i was totally going to scan in this picture i have from college, where i was trying to take a picture with one of my friends on the last night of school, and some annoying drunk girl kept throwing herself into the background of the frame to piss us off... but i was lazy and didn't get around to scanning it. so instead you get:

close up of my friend's 6-week old baby's adorable widdle baby feet

and a picture from rothenburg ob der tauber, where i was experimenting with focusing on the background image in the frame.

  3. FANTASTIC wwc shots, Alice! That second one is just glorious.

    The widdle baby feet made my uterus and heart collide in a head-on 12-egg pile-up.

    Glad you had a good weekend!

  6. I love these pictures! I have a six-week old also, but I loved the pictures even before I read the post and realized the feet belonged to a six-weeker.

  8. I'm still laughing from Moo's comment, but I am also so jealous that you have such a gorgeous picture from Rothenburg o.d. Tauber! *sigh*
    Widdle baby feet are so precious.

  19. Mini lasagna is GENIUS. Make one batch of lasagna and eat 1/3 of it in a bread tin today, freeze the rest in bread tins for later. Voila! No more eating lasagna for 5 days straight every time we make it!
