Peace Out

1. Ice Cream DateS

Yes...that is pleural because I had four special boys for my ice cream date tonight.  For Christmas the boys received gift cards and then for Valentines Day they received money for ice cream.  Since we made them write thank you notes for the ice cream we thought it would be appropriate if we actually TOOK them for ice cream. It was a last minute trip and I think that we all enjoyed ourselves (except Jack) he didn't like the ice cream and gave us his resting bitch face the entire time.  Cameron on the other hand started throwing up the peace sign up tonight every time I wanted to take his picture.

Cameron is intensely talking to Owen.  I just stare in amazement every day at them.

 2. Grandma Pat
We have enough food to last WEEKS.  Today we received a new air mattress in the mail.  Jack is outfitted with new clothes if he grows the slightest bit and the boys have a drawer filled with sweaters.  Grandma Pat LOVES to spoil us.

The boys played in the air-mattress box tonight.

3. Holli & Emily
Last week before vacation the three of us met up for dinner.  It was been SO SO long since I have been able to catch up with these ladies.  I haven't see Holli since Grace was in the NICU and I have no idea how long it has been since I have seen Emily.  These two ladies are the absolute best.  I wish that they didn't have a million kids and that we could all get together more often.

4. Sawyer's Party
We had a grand time celebrating Sawyer's Bday last week.  Since we were missing his party to be in the Bahamas we wanted to make sure we had a chance to party!  I baked a cake and we all played at Chuck E Cheese.  Sawyer has changed so much in the past few years.  I can just picture Erin running around taking pictures, making sure everyone is having fun, and being jealous that we were going on vacation in a few days.  She would be so proud of the way he has grown up AND she would be proud of Jess.  To put it lightly, he has been hard sometimes.  I am looking forward to watching him grow.

5.  The women in my family
I am really missing having a sister.  Recently I have been able get some advice from some of the women in my family.  Grateful -- but it is still super hard.
