Lucy loves bath toys, and can sit in the tub with good balance now. Ironically there are no toys in this photo. It was a “quickie”. She doesn’t have much hair, so hair washing is a cinch. Oh, and she’s not all freaky about getting water in her eyes. The kids bathe together every once in a while, but both seem to prefer having the tub to themselves.

(The big Two – Seven.) Here are our Union Square clicks – some from me, some Kiera’s, and one goodie from Oscar.
Two inspiring work’s of creativity and illustration:
A poetry book for children:
Buy Diana’s book here.
An illustrated alphabet:
No, I’m not writing about my kids, although come to think of it, they have been really sweet lately. (Hmmmm, I think we can attribute that to a quickly approaching Santa Claus coming to town.)
These are some new little angels, inspired by a cookie party at Geffen’s house. In a wave of caffeinated baking enthusiasm, I made a double batch of gingerbread, yielding forty angels. Later that night, armed with piping bags and toothpicks, Kiera and I brought our choir to life.
Recipes and techniques and more photos coming soon to Sweet Kiera … Stay Tuned.
These are the cookies that Mark and his his sister Karen made when they were kids. The cookies may seem plain, but the tradition of making them is meaningful when it’s passed down to the next generation.
If you ask Mark, the best part about baking the cookies is being able to sneak eating the raw dough.
The mixing – as you will see, has its own little method, and the choosing of cookie cutters is always fun. The cookies come out sweet and buttery with a little crunch. One day I might just have to decorate some, but for now I’ll resist. Frohe Weihnachten!
PS. This is a scan of an old postcard that Omi found – I think it’s so charming! Click to see it big.
