Cupcakes & Baby Giggles

yesterday, we drove to huntsville to visit with my good friend, kim and her daughter sophia. the four of us had mexican for lunch and then we went to gigi's cupcakes for dessert. can i say "yummy!" i bought a box of 4 so i could bring some home to talon. they told us there should be a gigi's opening in 5 points in bham sometime next year. i don't know if this is a good or a bad thing for me. i love cupcakes and this probably won't mix well with me going to school at uab (which is right down the road) and my attempt to conquer the rest of this "baby" weight before claire's 1yr birthday. oh well, i guess we'll see how strong my willpower really is!

so back to our trip...after purchasing heavenly cupcakes, we went back to kim's home where it was warm, since the weather decided to turn cold on the day we make a road trip. we spent the rest of the day chatting about life as new moms and tending to our little ones. it was so cute to watch claire and sophia interact. claire is bigger and much more active than sophia since she is 4 months older. she kept trying to grab sophia's hand and it looked as if they were holding hands :) i so wish i had taken pictures, but of course i didn't think about it. i'm sad to say, but the photographer in our family is definitely talon, not me. later in the evening kim's hubby, brannon, came home and he helped out with sophia while kim cooked us homemade bbq chicken pizza. she even made the crust from scratch! and it turned out great! i have to say i was impressed. i've never attempted to make any type of bread from scratch, but she somewhat inspired me to try it.

i really love spending time with kim; i hate that they moved to huntsville. its so nice to have a close friend who also has a baby girl. it will be fun to watch them grow up together and maybe they'll be friends when they are older too!
