Spring break in Delaware with baka

The kids were very cooperative during our 18-hr car ride to Delaware and back. We had a great time at baka's. Every day we took walks around the pond in the shopping area across the street that was still surrounded with snow but warm enough to attract birds so, obviously, Nikolas had a blast throwing pebbles into the water and making snowballs, and the babies enjoyed new views as well. Mommy enjoyed close vicinity of Trader Joe's that we miss in FL so much!

The kids were waking up at 6:30am every day so that was something to get used to, but having my mom there to share the morning coffee with was refreshing that I didn't mind being up so early. Sonja has been acting strange tough: very clingy and crying for me more than usual. She constantly wanted to be held and nursed and if I moved away from her she screamed off top of her lungs and if her angry cry didn't produce the results she wanted she'd switch to sad sob. Something's up with her lately that we haven't figured out....

Sonja doesn't just walk--she runs! And she spins in circles in the middle of the living room (her new dance). Both Sonja and Michael dance when they hear music: Sonja bounces on her feet, and Michael bounces his torso, sitting on the floor.

The twins have discovered the kitchen. They love climbing into a kitchen cabinet and playing with the dishes. Sonja's favorite is the grater, and Michael loves big pots and pans that make loud noises.
We visited the Please Touch children's museum in Philadelphia:
