Julia Moody

 Julia, you really are the spark in our family that keeps us silly and happy. However, some days you just get in a funk, and it's really difficult to snap you out of it. BUT it CAN BE DONE! It might just make me crazy or moody as well. Lately, I have some help getting you out of it...and boy do I appreciate it.

Other days, you are content. You don't plop down on the couch and turn the television on. You eat your breakfast, brush your hair, gladly put on underwear, unlike your brother, and find a spot to use your imagination! You talk to yourself, call for "mom" but your just pretending, or get lost listening to music. I love our time together and don't know what I will do next year.

Tonight you helped me with baking. Boy do you test my patience. I hope its a pleasant memory we are making!!!

This is what the softened butter looked like after you "checked it out". Geez. 

Here are some pictures of poppyseed roll making steps...a few are left out. However, if I want to learn how to photograph food, I know where I'll get my assistant! 

Oh and a couple selfies while you were at it...that explains how you got side tracked.

 (You love lookin in the mirror)

And there's my Julia again.
