I can not believe my little sweet peas are almost 6 months old!!!! I'm loving them right now and want them to stop growing so fast. Chris would argue that he'd like them to be old enough to do house work. We're starting to get the babies out more and it's been quite an adjustment. I feel so accomplished when I can just get them to the doctor's and back. Just a brisk family walk is a huge ordeal. I usually have a small layer of sweat on my face by the time they are all lathered with sunscreen and buckled in... before we even make it outside. But honestly, an evening that would be absolutely insane for most human beings is becoming totally normal for us. We've never known any different and we LOVE our children and wouldn't change a thing. Each child has brought so much Joy to our lives and they're all so different and special to us. 6 months ago I had never been so frightened in my entire life. People were so gloom and doom about our news of becoming parents to triplets. Regular comments we got... "You guys are screwed!" and "Better you than me!" and "Oh you should talk to the OctoMom!" Our all time favorite was... " Do triplets run in your family?" Chris and I just started answering "YES... triplets run ramped in our family on both sides."
Well... apparently God knows me much better than I know myself because I have never been so happy. I'd be a liar if I said it wasn't the hardest thing I've ever done... but I can say, it's the BEST thing I've ever done.
We go to Costco... It's possible to go grocery shopping with Triplets!

We Walk... going for a stroll with our cousin Nate.
We move around... My little roley poleys. The triplets are all over the place now and they love each other so much. They're very aware of their brothers and sister now. They talk back and forth and laugh at each others jokes... it melts my heart. 
We hold our own baba... Ireland totally in control.
We Jumperoo... Brayden getting his daily exercise.

And, One more very important thing........ We have Adult time.
Chris and I recently had our very first 24 hours away from the babies. Well, Moms very first night away. It was so strange to sleep through the night without the buzz of the baby monitor. We woke up in the morning to the sound of the ocean and room service. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. ;-) Happy Anniversary to us! I love you babe.
Free!!!!!!!
I love you more today than I did yesterday and more yesterday than the day we got married.
Thank you to my team of babysitters for making this mini vaca possible... Mom, Dad, and Auntie Leah. We love you guys so much and couldn't survive without you.
