I sit back, take a deep breath and attempt to take it with ease and enjoy my window seat. I look out the window and contemplate the traffic line of airplanes in waiting to take off. The plane picks up speed and seconds later we were airborne. Weather is not the most pleasant and we feel every air pocket and interruption to our smooth sailings.

If I could have 5 more of you, I would. You love to be around your family. You still love to cuddle us and sit on my lap. You sometimes interrupt me just to tell me you love me. These are not things parents are allowed to complain about.

Color! Jazz in the streets! More photos to follow soon.
