Our triplets were born on December 27, 2008 at St. John's Mercy Medical Center. Each baby weighed 3 lbs. 4 oz. Andrew Martin was delivered first followed by Colin Bryan both at 8:09. Finally Daniel Louis arrived at 8:10. Colin was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect shortly after birth. Colin's heart surgery was on January 6, 2009 and his recovery has been nothing short of a miracle! Thanks for visiting our blog and reading about all 3 of our little miracles!

You did it, Colin!
Colin has been getting up on his knees to play so much this week and I couldn't be more pleased! This is huge progress for him! Colin is doing well with P.T. every week. Slowly he is gaining more strength and flexibility. He will be fit for some foot orthotics soon to help correct the alignment of his feet. Hopefully soon he will be crawling on his hands and knees and looking more comfortable on his feet.
Good times in the kitchen!
We've had some rain and cooler weather the past few days...so more time inside. The babies have been off their bottles for about 3 weeks now, but I kept their bottles by the sink "just in case". I know I've been needing to pack the bottles away and clean up that area of the counter, but Andrew helped me along with this. Good ol' Andrew reached up to the kitchen counter and pulled the towel that held all the Dr. Brown bottle parts. They all came down to the floor and Colin and Daniel rushed over to join their brother for some fun play. This entertained them for an hour. I got so much done! Now I'm keeping all these bottle parts handy in a container for the next time I need a good distraction for them. They do get bored more easily now, so we have to change up the toys in the playroom and let them spend some time in different areas of the house. Thank goodness for the finished basement!

Hangin' outside
It has been awhile since my last entry. My exuses are that I've spent less time on the computer, we've all had our round of being sick, we've been spending more time outside and my camera was broken. So I've added some pictures of the babies hanging out on a blanket outside. So far they haven't wanted to crawl off the blanket onto the grass. I know this won't last long, but it sure is nice not having to take the playpen out there. The babies also love swinging on the porch on 2 swings Hoyt hung from the beams of the screen porch. It's perfect! We have been taking walks. Sometimes the babies accompany Jack and I for a walk to Dottie's Ice cream for a little snack. We are so glad spring is finally here!

The triplets with the Easter Bunny
Well, the babies weren't too crazy about "The Big White Rabbit" as Jack likes to call him. But that's OK! The pictures are funny and very typical! We had beautiful weather on Easter and had so much fun outside with our family. I thought we would have at least one baby walking by Easter, but oh well! They got to sit in ttheir stroller and watch the activity! Next year the triplets will get to participate in the egg hunt with their big brother and cousins!
