An International Easter

We ended up having an International Easter weekend. Saturday, we went to Roxanne and Benoit's home for dinner with them and their daughter, Olwin. Their son was fast asleep after a long, fun slumber party night. :-) Tim works with Roxanne and just admires her very much. She is a huge part of the reason why we came to Indy. They are also adoptive parents from Russia so we have adoption things in common as well. They are from France so they made us crepes for dinner and dessert that were very yummy! I've made them for dessert before but never thought to use a salty version of the batter for dinners. I'll definately be adding it to the list of dinner possibilities though!

Sunday we went to visit some Indian friends to see their new 3-week-old little girl. So cute and so much hair! Oh my! :-) We oohhed and ahhed and looked at her little fingers, toes and eyelashes. She made lots of faces at us that made us smile. Certainly makes us even more excited, if that's possible, for one of our own. They shared some Indian treats with us and made Masala tea that was creamy and so delicious! We had her show us how to make it and then went to the Indian grocery store to buy what we needed. Yum! We took them an Easter basket since Santosh had been asking Tim lots of questions about Easter. Santosh has wished a Catholic friend a happy Good Friday and was surprised to learn that it wasn't a "good" day after all. :-) It's fun to learn about the different cultures and we feel very honored to have friends from so many different backgrounds!

We hope everyone has had a great Easter weekend!
