Planes

1. Cousins

We added a new cousin to the group and these two were THRILLED.  They were significantly more excited to meet Jack than Cameron and Owen.  Significantly.  I walked in the door and was followed by these two almost the entire time.  

 Eloise sat down to read him a book, because clearly this is what mommies do for their babies. LOVE.

 If you look closely Eloise was telling Sawyer to "shhhh"  She was non stop with telling us to "shhhh"

 She got her baby and named him JackJack for the evening.  

**As you can tell, I was right by the front door.  We had just walked in.**

2. Baby Ezra
Oh my goodness I am in love with ANOTHER baby.  I feel extremely blessed and oh so grateful to walk this life with Shelby.  The boys finally met and look forward to soooo many more days ahead.

3. Paper Airplanes
Obsessed.  Absolutely obsessed.  For over a month the boys have been asking for a paper airplane birthday party.  They make at least 10 planes a day.  They are everywhere.  On Monday I decided to make it more of a game and put their energy into something fun.  With Jack taking so much of my time I am trying to find activities (that don't always include the iPad) for the boys.  They really enjoyed the airplane game so it was a win for mom.  I don't get many wins lately so I will take it.

4. My parents
My mom has been coming over every morning to watch Jack while I drive the boys to school.  It has been freezing cold out so her help has been such a blessing.  The past two days she has also come back in the afternoon so I can get a full hour to two hour nap.  My dad picks the boys up every afternoon and helps me around the house and helps take care of Jack or watch the twins while I pump.

I have been struggling significantly more then I anticipated.  The past two days I have had a ton more pain in my left side.  I know that this is normal since I have probably been doing WAAAYY too much.  Grateful for my parents to help me get through the past few days. ...and all week. ...and really helping me get through life in general.

5.  School Research
Greg has been doing a lot of research on the next phase of schooling for the boys.  I am going to do a few tours next week but having him look into the numbers and statistics of the schools has been EXTREMELY helpful.  I am grateful that he is able to do some of that leg work and we are able to collaborate on the results.  To be honest, I wish that we could just win the lottery and send them to private schools.  It would be SO. MUCH. EASIER.
