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.

How can it be August already!

July went by way too fast!  Dave had an interview at Electric Boat last week and it went very well!  We won't know if he got the job for another two weeks, but he feels very good about it!  Now we can get ready to house hunt!  :)  Lucas spent the last week of July at a 4 H overnight camp!  He has been going every year since he turned 8.  He always has a great time and we enjoy some peace and quiet!  The little kids are doing great.   We just finished 2 weeks of swim lessons. Jess got moved up to level 1 and the boys stayed in the parent/ tot class.  Everyone did great!  Jess was not very happy about being by herself in class, but warmed up to swimming by herself!  With the nice summer days, we have been going to a lake on the Navy base and all the kids love it!  Lucas swims the entire time and the little kids play in the sand and love splashing in the water.   In other exciting Dudley family news, the boys have really started to take an interest in  the potty!  Will and Logan both go pee at least two times a day on the potty!  I think we may try a boot camp with them very soon!  It will be awesome to not have any more diapers to buy!!

Well, that is the latest and greatest from here.  Prayers please that Dave lands this job at EB,  and we find a house in ledyard to move into very soon after that!!

Still Stuck in Limbo and I Hate It!!!

Life has gotten crazy around here! Not too much to really report other than - Dave is still looking for work, the house hunt is on hold until Job is found, and the kids are driving me crazy! That is it in a nutshell! Jess had her surgery and I plan another blog post specifically, but the end result - she is fine!!!

So sorry for the lack of posting, but with all the chaos around here and my mom's angelversary on July 21st I am just not myself! :(   I will get back to regular posting shortly! Thanks for being so patient!

Faker Triplet Mom stole photos off this blog!

You read that right - Finley Raine Fletcher-Andernada stole profile pics of Will and Jess off this blog and was using them on facebook and claiming them as part of her trio! She says she is a teen mom with triplets on several websites, but she is a FAKER!!! I have reported her and she apologized, but it made me realise that there are crazy people out there and that my blogs need to be more secure. I have added some security, but will be adding photos only after I get some watermarking software!

I just wanted you all to be aware of what was happening and why I was not posting! I hope to be back in a few days!

Jess' Big Move!


Doesn't she look cute! If you are my friend on facebook then you already now this, but I have been noticing for the last few weeks that Jess and the boys were taking forever to go to sleep at nap time and bedtime. They were playing around for over an hour some days and that means a much shorter nap and they would get up very cranky! We were always planning on moving Jess to her own room, but were hoping to wait until we moved. Other triplet moms with same age triplets have been having similar issues and said separation was the way to get nap back! I did not want Jess to think the move was a punishment and Aunt Jen had a great idea - move her into a big girl bed! So we talked it up big, went and let her pick out new bed sheets and a bed rail and last Saturday at nap we made the move! I am very excited to say it has gone very smooth! Logan and Will were a little upset the first few times, asking for Jess, but they have been sleeping like champs! I have my 3 hour nap back and still get 11 - 12 hours a night from them!! Jess has done great too! Since she is technically in the playroom, I was expecting lots of getting out of bed, but so far *knock on wood* nothing! She has stayed in bed. She definitely takes longer to fall asleep, maybe 30 - 45 minutes to the boys 10, but she just sits in bed and plays with her stuffed animals until she falls asleep!
