Intro.


Kris and Dave met 19 years ago while Kris was in college and Dave was on his first of several enlistments in the Navy. We have 4 beautiful kids. Lucas is 16 and he is the best big brother ever! He loves his brothers and sister. He has been waiting a very long time to be the "big brother".

William, Logan and Jessica were born Oct.25 2007 at 33 weeks and 5 days! They only spent 10 days in the NICU and came home on their big brother's birthday- Nov. 5 !! This blog will be about the ins and outs of our crazy life.

Wow - long time sorry!

Hi Everybody !
I am so sorry that it has been so long between this post and my last one. A lot of stuff has been happening and it has been extra busy. Where to start? Bear with me -this may seem a bit scrambled.
Dave drove down to PA on the 13Th. He went to my sister's and picked up our newest purchase. What do you think?



I am super excited about the new stroller. It is called a Run About -otherwise known as an RA in triplet circles. I was able to buy it off a triplet family that lives close to my sister for $200!! I also got the cover and sun canopy and trailer carrier included. This stroller retails for about $800 brand new - so you can see why I am so excited! We can't wait to get the trailer hitch on the van and start using it.

My mom came up with Dave when he was on his way home. It has been fun watching the kids interact with her. We have been enjoying our visit with her. My cousin Michele came up to spend a few days and the babies are enjoying all the extra attention. Michele and Mom and I went to Foxwoods casino last night and had a great time. My mom was the big winner $1000.00 !! Tonight we are going to see Howie Mandel at Mogehan Sun. I hope it is a good show.

The other really big news -- Will has not one but 2 teeth!! All of a sudden over the weekend he sprouted one tooth and then the next day another one. He has been drooling tons, but we were very shocked to say the least! Jess is also working on tooth #2 and is a bit more fussy then normal. Today she is not eating like normal, but I guess her teeth are bothering her. Logan is still all gums, but I can see a spot where a tooth is starting to pop. We were finally able to get teeth pics -

Can I just say how hard is it to get pics of baby teeth! It was a major pain in the know know what. After many attempts we finally used orange flavored tongue depressors to get the shots.

What else? Oh the boys love sitting the in the exersaucers and playing with all the toys and "talking " to each other. Once I figure out how to post video - I'll upload it. We also bought a little kiddie pool and they sat and played with toys for the 1st time yesterday. Jessica really loves the water. William also seems to enjoy himself, but looked very serious. Logan was again the most unsure. It took him quite a while to really get into the idea and by that time playtime was over.

The last big news for today - Our exchange student Vanessa is off traveling New England with her mom and dad! They arrived on Monday and stayed until Wed. Dave took off work and showed them the Nautilus museum and sub base. They rented an RV for their trip and will be gone until July 2. It was a lot of fun to meet and hangout with her parents. They brought everyone really cool gifts from Germany. It is very very weird not to have Vani here with us. We will get to see her for a few more days from July 2 until we take her to the airport July 5. I am not looking forward to having to say goodbye. It has been a great year with her and I will miss her very much. I know that mom and dad are excited to have her back, but I wish she was staying with us longer.

Ok, this covers most of what has been happening - I told you it was hectic. We have a triplet picnic and graduation party on Saturday, so I will post again Sunday.
