Martha sure does know how to hire people who know how to make good cupcakes. I tried out the Martha Stewart Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Chocolate Chip Frosting, in honor of Colin's love of all things Chocolate Chip. And also because I felt like baking.
We took half of the batch over to Mark & Jacquie's house (including 3 unfrosted, chocolate-chip-free cupcakes for Mark). I thought they might enjoy some sweets. Jacquie is scheduled to deliver her baby boy, Christopher, on July 24th, less than 2 weeks away, and she's already ready to burst! Their 3-year-old, Elizabeth, is the best little girl I've ever met. She's just so smart and cute and talks endlessly. She's going to be an awesome big sis.

I'm trying to make travel plans for the beginning of August, but things are so difficult to organize! I want to go out to Oregon, to visit with Colin's family, and coordinate a trip out with my family. The same darn week, though, my friend is having a hey-you-didn't-make-it-to-my-wedding party in Maine, which would be SO amazing to go to, too. Why, conflicts, why??
Update: I found a way to have my cupcakes and eat them, too. I'll be making the journey up to Maine from Aug 7-10 and then out to Oregon a couple weeks later! :) Yay!!!
I'm sure that said friend having the post-wedding party would not be offended if you wanted to visit your baby's daddy's family. Your friend would undoubtedly understand, and while he'd miss seeing you guys and your little pumpkin, I'm positive that that same friend will be trying to find a way to get down south this coming fall for a little break from winter weather!
