IT was April showering on a recent day, a day that otherwise would have been a good day to get outside and burn off some energy.

Discourse on a Rib Roast
TO honor Opa for Easter, Dad made a rib roast, one of his favorite dishes. The interesting thing is that he did it on the stove top.
Really.
The roast never saw the inside of an oven. And it was perfect (for Mom's taste, Dad prefers a little more red and a little less pink, but since it was for her, he made it to her taste.)

Chicks and Rabbits
THESE are by far Dad's favorite Easter candy. Too bad the twins don't care for them, all the more for him!
Five and Under Park
IT is interesting that one's perspective changes when becoming a parent. Before children Dad did not take notice of the playground equipment installed in various parks. He has been to this particular park before, even as recently as this time last year, but gave little thought to the suitability of the equipment to a given child's age. Today, at the urging of Mom, they set off for 5 and under park. He marveled at the thoughtful design, at how appropriate it is for the almost 2 years old crowd.
Above, the climbing structure is perfect for mobile little ones. Unlike big kid equipment, the Twins can actually climb this on their own.
The slides too are well suited for this age group. The incline is not as steep and the landing zone is long enough to prevent them from falling off.
Mom is ready to catch Buggy, but it is unnecessary.
The steps are also easy for toddlers to ascend and descend.
The slide above is higher than the purple one, but it is covered so there is no fear that they will fall off of the side.
Having mastered going down feet first, the Twins then did it head first. Dad was able to take photos instead of receiving them at the end.
Buggy found a pine cone and a switch. She gave the pine cone to EJ but kept the switch for herself.

Happy Easter!
Above, Buggy enjoys some Easter candy on Good Friday. Isn't her dress adorable? Of course she has to bruise her face just days before an important picture day.
Dad loves the little details like the ruffles and the rear draw.
On Easter day the New Family visited with Mom's brother and sister-in-law. Grandma provided EJ's vest, shirt, tie, and pants.
Uncle Dave bought lilies for Aunt Heather.
After brunch, they had their first Easter egg hunt. The Twins loved it!
Once the brunch and Easter egg hunt was complete they took a walk to a nearby park. Above, cousin Amelia pushes EJ on a swing.
She is great with the twins. She really engages the Twins.
Buggy was content to ride on cousin Hannah's lap.
