Another Set of Triplet Girls are Here!

That's right! Jenn had her baby girls this morning! Here are the stats:

A - Addison Rae 5 lbs 13 oz 19"
B - Ava Noelle 5 lbs 4 oz 18.5"
C - Elaina Marie 4 lbs 13 oz 17"

All are doing well! Both Ave and Elaina are in the room with Jenn and Rich. Addison is in the NIM (Neonatal Intermediate) for the night because of some fluid in her lungs. (My girls all started out in the NIM) They are expecting Addison will be out and with them tomorrow.

Praise God! He has done great things!

I have no pictures to post yet. We will see if they send me any.

It brings back so many memories:


It goes so fast Jenn!

Christmas Festivities

This year Christmas was a blast for the girls

Please be in prayer for my friend and fellow tripet mom, Jenn. It is VERY close to the time when she will get to meet her triplet girls for the first time!
Our thought and prayers are with you and your family, Jenn!

Whole New World

The girls have figured out how to push chairs to the table, climb onto them, and then climb onto the table. Yes, I am busy!

Sometimes Olivia gets stuck between the chair & the table


Grandma H. taught Olivia the motions to "Away in a Manger"


Sophie goes "Green" - She loves purses and bags!

This is a random video, but notice Olivia in the background who is busy getting ready to go out...

First Christmas Presents

No... not these boxes! Although they loved them just the same!


The girls went to their first extended relation Christmas party tonight. They all got a cell phone and keys from their Grandma & Grandpa H.




BYE!!!!!

First Snow Experience

Saturday was a beautiful day. We bundled up the girls and took them out sledding. The bundling process took forever!!

Sophie found out it was hard to walk in all her gear

Olivia sports her cute paisley snowpants

Evie was tired, and wasn't sure about all this

And they're loaded

Brad pulls them... down a hill - Oops!

Olivia loved the snow - She didn't know which way to go

Sophie was snotty all over

Evie cried most of the time

Drama Queen

Olivia is my drama queen. She just knows how to pull faces and show lots of emotion.
Check her out in her beautiful dress made by Sarah (master knitter)

Sophie Gets to Work

Sophie is ready to work for the family business. Yes, she has her coffee cup, junk mail, and pen. What more does she need?

Happy Thanksgiving!

No, the big one is not mine. (Evie & Joy)

A Loving Grandma (Grandnizer)

Olivia woke up Thanksgiving morning having barfed all over in her crib. Her sisters had the stomach flu back on Monday. She waited until the holiday! Brad stayed home with her all day. What a dad! Don't worry, I brought him a plate of food.

This is the day after Thanksgiving. It's called "Black Friday." I call it "Recovery Friday."

Sophie WALKS!!!!

I'm a little late with this post and video. Sophie finally started walking on November 16! Yes, 15 months old and now walking! You go girl! She is so proud of herself. She likes to show off to visitors.

Here's a video clip:

The Grand Rapids Santa Parade

As a member of the Grand Rapids Mothers of Twins Club (and triplets) I walked in the GR Santa Parade this morning. It was a chilly morning, but we bundled well. I decided to dress the girls like the Shrek triplets. I was inspired by my Shrek Santa hat I got free with the DVD.

They had fun! Olivia danced to the music of the marching band behind us, Evie started waving back at people on the streets, and we didn't lose any shoes! That was a miracle because Olivia was down to a bare foot at one point!

Gwen came along to help me with the task of getting triplets downtown on time, and well bundled. She looked great in her reindeer antlers. To all single hunting men... she'd be a fine trophy!! He he

Anyway, we were even on T.V. for a few seconds. Yes, our 30 seconds of fame!

Here's a slideshow of the events:

Days Like This

Just our usual normal days

Evie dancing with cousin Joy at my mom's house

Cute hats made by Sarah!

How can you not love her?

Sophie eats Cheerios like I never feed her!

Adorable!

Our temporary toy box - Anything new has to be checked out fully!

Three's a crowd!


Being silly with my sister

While I Was Shopping...

I got to go on a short weekend shopping trip with my in-laws. While I was gone, Brad took care of the girls by himself. He did fine, except for one incident.

Evie plays peek-a-boo

Sophie sleeps & Brad takes a picture

Oops! While Brad was drying Evie, Olivia who was all ready for bed learned how to climb back in the tub! Brad heard a "sploosh" and crying!

After awhile she got used to it and played. Brad left her in there while he got Sophie ready for bed, so she would stay warm. What a dad!

Evie & Sophie playing together (wrestling). They were giggling, but by the time Brad got the camera ready - they stopped.



This is the same thing, but watch Olivia in the background!
