Five Days In...

As a family of five and loving every minute!

First, I know that the grandparents are itching for a few photos of sweet baby Abby...

And I just LOVE LOVE LOVE watching the boys with baby Abby?!?!  They are SO good with her...

It's really been a great week and I am just thankful for three sweet and joyful children!  Thursday, Aiden headed to school.  After drop off, Chris took Andrew to the store for a few necessary items before just coming home for some quiet play time around the house (If you know Aiden at all, there is NO quiet play time when he is around!).  I invited Courtney over in the afternoon to come play with her kids to give Chris a little break from being Mr. Mom and perfect timing since March Madness just started.  Between all five kids in the basement, Chris is officially thankful that he will be heading back to work in another week or two (although he has been great with the boys and loving his time at home!).  

Today, we took our first family outing of five to...Barnes and Noble.  Yes it's true, Barnes and Noble is one of our kids' happy places.  Andrew loves the train table (which was just updated) and Aiden loves searching through the toys and books!  We stopped by the sub shop on the way home for a quick to-go lunch before spending the afternoon and evening just hanging around the house.  

I'm so thankful to have a surprise visit from my mom tomorrow just for a short but sweet trip as she has to take a few days off of teaching to get here.  Aiden is thrilled to have her and even better, his seat has moved to the back of the van so he can't wait to sit right next to MeMe when she arrives!  No plans for when she is here just looking forward to some special time with her!
