My friend Stephanie had twins (Jack and Caroline) about 5 weeks ago, and today I finally got to visit them! And hold them. And squeeze them. And snuggle with them. It was a good day. They are great babies, very calm (at least today!) and agreeable and generally good natured.

Here are some photos of the babies:

We also had an opportunity to taste some delicious cupcakes.  A friend of Stephanie’s just started her own cupcake bakery…they deliver to the Chicago-area.  We sampled a few cupcakes:  the ooey gooey (caramel and sea salt), red velvet with creamcheese frosting, everybody loves chocolate wtih a chocolate merengue frosting.  The chocolate one was really good because there was a lot of frosting, but it wasn’t very sweet.  It tasted like a semisweet/bittersweet mousse.  You can browse the cupcake flavors here.
