Introducing...
Four-year-old Esther who, by the way, is even cuter in person.
She was fascinated by the camera and asked to try it. Aim and snap!
Lois, a chubby 14 months.
She's a pretty smart cookie, that Esther-girl. She figured out how to use the camera without any help. Although her photography skills are still developing...

We ended up with pictures like this:
?!?
...pictures like this...
...and this...
Hold the camera a little farther away, honey.
That works. :)

This is her big sister, Hannah, also quite willing to take pictures, but rather less willing to have them taken of her. So when we were playing hide-and-seek, I waited behind the bedroom door, camera poised and ready. Sneaky, but...
Success!
Oh, Esther.
She was smiling sweetly only seconds before. Why do kids do that, anyway?!
I don't remember which of the girls took this picture.

I wonder what I'll be doing next Friday...? Probably NOT making pizza.
But here's the crust recipe I use, just for kicks. After last summer's experimentation with all sorts of flours (not white), I was all too happy to find this recipe. And my family was happy I found it, too. We've decided that some things are just better with white flour.
4-5 cups flour
1 1/4 cups semolina flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups warm water
Combine the dry ingredients. Add oil and water. Stir and let rest for an hour. Oil two 16" round pizza pans well and pat dough into pans. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes, then add sauce, cheese, and desired toppings. Bake until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly. Tasty!

Happy Friday, friends!
