Exciting Events

Well, tomorrow is one week until our little monkeys turn one! Can't wait!!

I realized I haven't posted about Jordan playing Toros Soccer yet. He is excited about being on the team and is ready for the games to start. They've been practicing twice a week, games start mid September and all are in Columbia! This should be fun with the girls tagging along. I think we're going to try and take all the kiddos to the Riverbanks Zoo while we're in the area. I'll keep ya'll posted!

THEN, there is football season starting this weekend. I can hardly contain myself! I feel a lot of shopping trips coming up for the girls and I. The boys are going to the Carolina game this Thursday. Jordan's on cloud nine!

Adios, til next time!

They're Growing up

Laila loves her blankie and has to have it in her mouth!

Daddy and Stella

I haven't blogged (is that even a word) in a while so I thought I'd update on some things that are going on. I'm not sure if I would call Stella a walker yet but she has taken some steps here and there, no more than 2. Well, today at my Granny's she took 4 steps!!! We all just happened to be looking. I felt tears coming in my eyes. She is so small, actually the size of most 4 mth olds, but she is so full of energy. I can't believe they are on the verge of walking.

Annie Kate and Laila have a little cold with runny noses. They are so pitiful. I hope this isn't a sign of what is to come in the winter! Three sick babies can't be fun, but I know it's bound to happen.

Our house is a wreck right now. I have so many projects lined up in my head. We are turning our office/spare bedroom into the girls playroom. They need more space than what they have now for all of their "things". Plus with their birthday coming up I know it will triple in size. Another thing we are doing is staining a new kitchen table and painting chairs. Luckily Josh's dad took over the staining part for me! So, we are kinda rearranging our kitchen to fit the needs of 6 family members.

Countdown is on...

Well, the girls turned 11 months yesterday. This time last year I was scared out of my mind. Thinking about the delivery, how small our babies would be, NICU and just how our life would change in general. I was also on bedrest this time last year. I thought that was the most horrible thing...poor Josh had to constantly tell me to get back in bed. I would give anything for somebody to tell me to go lay down now!

Anyway, we took some pictures yesterday in the backyard. They were a little ill, I think because they are teething and Laila didn't like the grass on her feet. Big bro was in the background making funny faces and noises to make them smile.

3 years and 3 babies later

Today is our 3rd wedding anniversary! This is so cheesy I know, but we have been through some crazy things. I think if we can survive this past year especially, we can do anything. We are such a team and I just want Josh to know how much I love him and need him. We built our house shortly after getting married then had the struggles of a triplet pregnancy. Talk about stressful! We have been put to the test for sure. Anyway, I just want to let Josh know that I can't be happier with our life and family. I am surely one of the luckiest girls in the world. Happy Anniversary sweetie. I am looking forward to so many more.
