I’ve been in New York visiting my big guys since Saturday, and I am having a blast.  I love these kids.  Also?  Big kids are SO much easier than little ones… they wipe their own butts, you don’t need to cut up their food, and they don’t wake up 3 times a night.

I haven’t picked up my camera once- I haven’t even taken it out of my bag.  I’m surprised B hasn’t pulled it out,  last time he didn’t put it down, and the majority of the pictures I had from the visit were taken by him.

I this this trip has been great for all of us- without the little four kids here, I’ve been able to really concentrate and talk to the big ones.  When we’re all together, it’s hard to do that without interruptions and chaos.  It’s been great bonding with them.   I am totally going to try to do this more often.

Aaron has been having fun with the little ones.  The girls have had school all this week, so he’s been doing the stuff I do each week… getting everyone up and on the bus, dealing with the twins all day… grocery shopping.  I think he likes being a stay at home dad
