We’re headed back to Virginia this morning. It’s been the most wonderful trip. I have a few more fun photos to post of our busy family activities! One funny thing we sort of stumbled into was a talk with my little sister Emmy about not eating sweets. She’s been clean and sober (from a sugar addiction:) for four or five months now, and was telling us how she no longer misses it at all! So, last Friday Dave and I decided to jump on the band wagon and forgo “treats” until Thanksgiving…just to get back to being a little more conscious about our eating. 

And then we had Eliot’s blessing and Dave’s sister home made éclairs and my sister made chocolate raspberry cupcakes…so I had to try them.

And then we had a Zumba birthday party with a cake from Tulie Bakery…so I couldn’t pass it up.

And then Melanie created a cake bar for a wedding today and we are leaving tomorrow and I won’t have her magnificent baked goods for a long time…so I dug in.

And then we went to Normandie Cafe for dinner tonight and ordered from the Two for $25 menu, which of course includes dessert, and I chose the toffee almond molten cake and Dave chose the chocolate chip brownie, and Mike chose the hot chocolate soufflé…so I tasted some of each.

BUT

Now it begins. 

I am off of the sweet stuff until I eat some homemade apple pie on the fourth Thursday in November.

I’m sure glad we went to Georgetown’s newest cupcake joint, Sprinkles, before we left for Utah…
