Take two

Hmmm... It has been way too long since my last post. I had actually forgotten that I started a blog. I probably won't be consistent, but here is my attempt to try again!

The girls are 16 months old now. All walking and starting to say some words! I can't believe how far we have come. They are the light of my life and I can't imagine a day without them. Elijah loves them, too, and I am constantly surprised at how much time he wants to spend with them. We have a huge play yard set up in our living room, and he likes to get in with them and play, even though all of his toys are outside that area. He also likes being mommy's helper, in many ways. I am trying to encourage him in that area, since I think he would prefer to be lumped in with the babies sometimes.

It is so fun to see the girls' different personalities coming out. Hadassah can be kind of shy and quiet, but once she feels comfortable she lets her true side out! She has a huge stubborn streak, but she can also be so sweet. Arabella is really sweet, she often gets her toys stolen because she doesn't stand up for herself, but she has recently started throwing a temper if she doesn't get her way. She loves snuggles and hugs. Mikayla always looks like she could be getting into mischief, even if she isn't. She just has that look! Generally, though, she is the first to get into something that she shouldn't. She was the first to be mobile, and is the fastest walker right now. She is always interested in exploring, and she loves people! She has started snuggling up to people she met only 5 minutes before.

Elijah has started "school". We do about 15 minutes to 1/2 an hour every day. It's a learning process for both of us, but now that I've finally started I think it might not be as hard as I was envisioning. I'm getting "into the spirit"!

That's all for now. I'll try to figure out how to upload pictures later.

First time blogger

Well, I finally took the plunge into blogging. I'm not sure how much time I'll have to post updates, but I will do my best.
Most people know I just had triplet girls in September. It's hard to believe it's almost been two months. The girls are growing well. They are all sleeping right now (oh wonders!) and my two year old, Elijah is playing happily with his toys. So I have a few quiet minutes to myself to have a cup of tea and blog :-)
I feel like there really isn't much to tell at this point. We haven't been out very much because of the flu season, so our lives are pretty boring right now... if you consider keeping up with a toddler and three babies boring! My life basically consists of diaper changes and feedings and playing with Elijah when I get the rare chance. But I'm sure I'll have lots of funny stories to tell soon...
Actually, I just remembered one. My husband, Lowell, had just left the house when disaster struck. I was in the middle of pumping, the girls all woke up and decided they were hungry, and Elijah pooped in the bathtub and made a huge mess of it! I had to call Lowell to come home in a hurry and help because the mess was too much to take care of with three screaming girls needing their food immediately. Oy... what a morning. I'm so glad he has taken all this time off to stay home and help out. I'm also glad that my parents are moving to KY. Their timing couldn't have been better.
Well, that's all for now. I should probably do something productive before the babies wake up.
