Moving, babies and birthdays!

The past few weeks have been super hectic! So much going on in our lives right now, which is why I'm behind on the blogs. At the beginning of August my husband accepted a job to Pastor at a church in Sudbury On. which is about 7.5 ish hours away from our current location. So we began a journey of prepping our house, and making arrangements for the next few months. Even though his first official day in the office wasn't till Nov.1st we had a lot to do, and the time ended up going by so much faster that I thought. But we have safely landed in Sudbury and are enjoying it tremendously. Expect for the drivers..drivers in Sudbury scare me, just saying. Since I only had 3 months left of my pregnancy there is no point in looking for a job so I am currently unemployed and waiting for my sweet baby to show up! We have 10 weeks left and I'm getting anxious...

Back to cakes! At the end of August our niece Norah had her first birthday! They had quite the party for her. When we were discussing ideas my sister in law mentioned that she would like their family dog to be included in this cake. Cause Norah loves her dog. So after looking around and getting ideas, I thought I would try my hand at little figurines again. I decided to make a little girl and her dog sitting outside. It was a two tier cake, so I covered it in yellow and pipped green grass along the bottoms, and even drew on some paw prints. I'm hoping I get better at the little figurines because I wasn't entirely happy with how they turned out. But hopefully practice makes perfect! The pictures aren't the greatest quality, since I had to take them from my phone.

So that has been our story for the last few months. Sad to no longer serving Essex County but hoping to serve the Greater Sudbury area in the near future!
