The weather was gorgeous in Boston today - oh, how this improves everyone's mood! While Derek went food shopping this morning, I took the kids out for a long walk. It was warm enough at 10am that after pushing 80 pounds of kids & stroller for awhile that I was down to a tank top! When we got home we played play-doh on the back deck and watched our neighbors set up for their annual Easter BBQ extravaganza.
Timery & Jason came down to visit from Ipswich around lunchtime. Derek grilled a pork tenderloin with my awesome rib rub (recipe below) and I made risotto-style orzo with saffron and parmesan and spinach salads. It's so fun watching the kids play together as they get older! Even though they are 7 months apart, they will likely all be in the same grade in school! Jason's 1st birthday is coming up in May so we'll be excited to celebrate with them next time we get together.
We had a great visit and after such a fun and busy morning S&Z took a 3-hour long nap! Here are a few more cute pictures from today...
And of course there was a little "wrestling" too,
Now that Silas is fighting back, perhaps Miss Z will stop trying to rule the roost all the time!
Grandma Dutra gave the kids B. cell phones for Easter that are a HUGE hit!
