Kim likes baking too and these days she will ask Aiden to help her.
Her cakes usually looks much better than any of my efforts.

A couple of weeks ago I tried to bake Ciabata bread.
It is a long process that takes about 24 hours (first you have to make this yeast and flour sponge which you then later use for the end result).
I substituted normal flour for wholemeal. This was the end result.
The taste was ok, but it was too dry for my liking...so will have to try again one day.

Light bulbs are really rare now as you can't buy them in the shops any longer.
We still have one in the cupboard so I decided to have a bit of fun with it one evening...

Lucas is now 9 month old and the other day we went to the park to do some Autumn photos with him.
The photo of the day was definitely this one of Kim and Lucas having a moment together.
It was hard because he wanted to crawl around and play and because it was the middle of the day the light was pretty harsh.
We also tried to take some at one of the small bridges in the park but they were shooting a commercial shoot there and Lucas was more interested in trying to get into the water than posing.
And when we tried a family photo he didn't want to sit still.

For Lucas 8 month photo we decided to do a profile photo of the four of us just like we had with Aiden.
A bit more difficult this time because there we two kids and getting them to look in the right direction and keep the right face expression.

The other day was in the park with his daycare group to play at the playground.
While he was there he was bitten by some unknown insect and the morning after his whole face was swollen.
Fortunately he was happy enough and it didn't require any visits to a doctor.
