Grace's visit & Easter
Tim: This weekend our dear friend Grace came down for a visit. The kids loved her. She regaled them with a lot of Irish folk songs and also some French songs. We should have had her record herself singing so when they get fussy we could pull out the "Grace tape" and play it for them. On Friday night, Joanna made ratatouille and we watched the movie of the same name while we ate it (we're geeky like that).
On Saturday we had a little picnic in a little park on campus and dined alfresco on Publix subs. It must have been the first time we had the twins out in the breeze and the sun. They were loving it. They were laying there waving their arms in the breeze and humming like they were at Woodstock.
Joanna: The kids adored their Auntie Grace. She gave Ian one of the most special presents he’s ever been given—an elven quilt! It’s incredibly beautiful, with leaf patterns, and stars, and beautiful batik fabrics. He loved it right away.
Tim: Then on Sunday after church we drove to Joanna's aunt and uncles for Easter with the family. The highlight of the day for us was when one of the uncles fed Ian some cake. He had the strangest look on his face, but he seemed to like it, as he continued gobbling whatever was put in his mouth. Someone asked me if we've started to feed the twins solid food and after this uncle's stunt I said, "yes, but only cake." He also tried to feed Elanor an Easter egg but, alas, her mouth was a bit too small to take it all in.
Ian liked his first Easter egg, too.

Aww, they're so cute with their eggs, especially Elanor trying to gobble it down. And now I can imagine this conversation at the Smolko home:
Tim: We're out of baby food!
Joanna: Let them eat cake.
