Gotta quote Twila Paris: "How beautiful, the feet that walked / That long, dusty road and the hill to the cross. How beautiful, the tender eyes / That chose to forgive and never despise."
After our S&S Cafeteria meal, we broke out the Sesame Street birthday cake (actually a pull-apart cupcake cake, much more user-friendly) from Publix and lit the #2 candles. Chance cracks his knuckles while Grace patiently waits in anticipation (naw!).
Grace learned how to make these party favors work (yes, she really did).
Here we are! Granddaddy Hugh, Grandmother Frances, Gracie, Aunt Nancy, Uncle Andy, Chance, Mommy, Daddy. (Someone should've dressed Mommy in a spring-like color, eh?)
At the Easter egg hunt, the twins stopped to eat the jelly beans inside each egg . . . not surprisingly, it took a while to finish the hunt.
Uncle Andy guiding Grace to the next "hiding spot." 
The twins showing off their finds.
Chance discussing his eggs with Grandaddy, Grace with Grandmother.
Gracie with new stuffed bunny, gift from the grandparents. She passed out before we even got on the highway!Four days later, at their well-baby check-ups, they weighed almost the same: only about 21.5 lbs. Small kiddos, but still progressing on the growth charts, though we're now cutting out almost all juice (only water and milk) in hopes that they'll eat a bit more. Chance is about an inch taller, and yes, his head is definitely still larger.
The twins loved Uncle Andy and Aunt "Fancy" Nancy. Thanks for coming, y'all.
In this VIDEO: Chance showed off his somersault--he's been able to do it for a couple of months now (Gracie, not really)--but Mommy didn't get the camera quick enough to actually see it. (Instead, you can see the effects of the sugar.) Andy likely slept well that night; they played hard. (And no wonder Andy was a Nat'l Teacher of the Yr--he's fabulous w/ our kiddos!)
