Twins' Birthday, Visit in Nyack -- April 17-18

We had a great adventure going up and back to Newton in one day on the train on Saturday so we could attend Caleb and Alison's birthday party -- Wendy and Fer enjoyed their first Amtrak experience, complete with movies on my computer and a visit to the snack car! No pics of the birthday, sadly -- Wendy was camera-shy the first time I tried and then things went by so fast I didn't get back to taking pictures. On Sunday we drove up to Nyack to see Susie and Ken and their boys. It was wonderful to catch up, and the girls got to drive in their convertible, which was a big hit. Susie also generously added to our growing Barbie collection with a new Barbie house (this one with a multitude of tiny Barbie accessories) and the much-coveted Barbie glam car! The girls were thrilled.
