Dimples and Delights: Food, Faces, and Family

Guest-posting on April's blog today! I have been blessed with three opportunities to meet and get-to-know dearest April and her darling little sons in just the past week and a half. In those three meetings I discovered a true kindred spirit, a new love for food things, and two sweet-as-can-be adopted nephews.  [part one]
Dimples and Delights Part { Two } Food, Fun, and Family Our second day of getting together consisted of a tasty lunch at the Olive Garden, Bollywood soundtracks, and a witty little child who I now completely adore.

While looking down at his coloring page, Joe states simply, "You should say 'Thank you' to my mom for taking you here."

Yes. Yes, I should.

THANK YOU, JOE'S MOM FOR TAKING ME THERE.

Salad. I love salad.

That's Scruffy. :)

Gnocci, I believe, is what this bowl of delight is. Potato dumplings? YES, please.

Joe: "Your face looks the cutest in this picture".

I love four-year-olds. X)

While at April's place, I became acquainted with the serious and sensible Stephen (little), who I now lovingly refer to as "Pip". Together, we corrected math homework, read books, and played catch with a scarf and cape. After playing in his "back yard" for a short time, while singing music from "Singin' in the Rain", it was time for me to leave. As I hugged the boys and said my goodbyes, Pip asked me the most adorable and delightful question I have ever heard: "Will you be our Aunt?" Friends, I melted.

April's big, adorable beast, Bracken.

Isn't his smile just enchanting? :)

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for my first-ever nephews.
