The Smell of Apple Pie
Jeff and Vika baked apple pies today while I was at work and Eamon was napping. Vika was a very competent baker's assistant (Cathy probably knows the correct culinary term for this since her sister is a dessert chef), and even got to bake a mini pie of her own. She made a big deal of slicing up the mini-pie and serving us each a "piece" after dinner. :)
There are few things nicer than coming home to the smell of fresh baked apple pie!

Hi from East Texas. I could nearly smell the apple pie - it looked beautiful.
My hubby and I are awaiting our court date to bring home our own little brown haired Vika! I've enjoyed reading your story.
Congratulations on finding a Vika of your own! Best of luck with your court date and bringing your little girl home!
