It has started

I am feeling compelled to write tonight.  I don't have any pictures to add but for me, the year has officially started.

A few hours ago the boys came home and holy moly it is great to have them back.  It's loud and fun and lots of talking, laughing, and loudness BUT it makes me feel much better to have them back.

The past few days I have been frantically finishing the 2015 year book.  Approximately 3 minutes ago I finally ordered it from Shutterfly.  This book takes HOURS.  HOURS.  My guess is that I have spent a solid 40 hours on the book.  I wouldn't guess I bit higher because it feels like a 100 hour but 40 is a safe, solid bet.

1. The year book is FINISHED.

2. Quick trip to Valpo
On Christmas when I talked to my grandma she didn't sound good.  I decided that as I was picking up the boys I would make a quick detour and visit my grandparents in valpo.  I haven't been up in a long time and it was really nice to see both of them.  They are so so sweet and that is not an exaggeration.  So Jack and I were there for a short 2 hours before we picked up the twins.  It was short, sweet, and made my soul happy.

3. The house is clean
While I was gone for the day Mike stayed and did some deep cleaning to the house.  We pushed it to the last, possible minute but needed to get at least the toilets done before the boys showed up to pee on the side of them again.  He also ran lots of errands and got "stuff" done around the house.

4. Jack's cheery disposition
This baby is so chill.  Don't get me wrong he also has a voice, a loud one at times....but usually he just wants to be with his brothers and playing with their toys.  In Valpo he just crawled, explored, and smiled.

5. HUGS. HUGS. AND MORE HUGS.
I can't get enough from the twins.  They give the absolute best hugs and then they usually let me do some serious tickles.
