It was such a wonderful visit! These kids' parents are endlessly patient and loving, talking to their children in two languages and seeming to savor every moment, nothing too hard to do for them. We provided vegetables from the garden that were ground up in the baby food grinder, just so, and the kids mushed all the food into their mouths, splatted blueberries on the floor and all the fourteen of us, the critical mass including my best closest grandson, eight years old now, enjoyed it all immensely. We all cooked enormous communal meals.
March in Florida is totally glorious, though a tad chilly right now. Emilio and Valentina seemed very interested in the outdoor life here as we trundled them around in the stroller and the golf cart and in the back of the pick up to explore the property. When I took Emilio out to the vegetable garden to gather the vegetables for dinner, he started cramming lettuce leaves into his mouth, flinging the unwanted ones away.
It was somewhat exhausting with so many folks here and the necessity of leaping to keep the twins from harm and keeping the house and kitchen going. But everyone was on duty to help. I certainly enjoyed every minute. Grandma talking. I love it!
