2008 has been quite a year...

This day last year was my original due date before we knew I was pregnant with triplets. My how things can change in a year. By my due date the kids were already almost 3 months old. Now a year later they are close to 15 months and it is so hard to believe. They really do grow up too fast. It is a good thing I am taking alot of pictures and videos, because I am already forgetting little things they used to do that really made me laugh.

We were really busy this Christmas. We drove to KC the weekend before Christmas and visited Kevin's parents for a few days. The kids did really well again with the travel and new environment. Kevin and I got to go out to dinner with a bunch of his college friends while the grandparents babysat. Then we all came back to our house for Christmas. The triplets didn't seem to care much about opening presents, but I am sure they will next year. Kevin's dad got alot of great photos though. Happy New Year from the McDonalds!

Look how tiny we were.

Cory up to something. Opening presents.
I love Christmas!!!
Am I sweet or what?

Looks like a little angel.

Time to play!

New Playroom

The playroom is finally done and the triplets seem to love it! I still have some decorating to do, but all of the toys are in there and I finally have my living room back! Well, mostly. They bring alot of toys in there, but at least I can throw them back in the playroom at the end of the day.

It is so hard to get all 3 in a pic. No smiles, but I'll take it!

Sweet K man. Cory. Watching cars drive by. Oh what fun!

O' Christmas Tree....

The tree is up and Santa has already delivered some gifts (well, my parents actually!) Yeah, a choo choo wagon. I can't wait to pull this kids around in it when the weather warms up. And I finished up my stocking project that I started last year.

Missing in Action

Sorry I have been MIA from the blog lately. We have been working on the old computer room/new kids room alot. It is finally cleaned out and we plan to move the cribs over this weekend. It will be for sleeping primarily and the old nursery (which is quite a bit bigger) will be the new playroom! I hope to at least keep the bulk of the toys in there so my living room won't look like a daycare all the time. The old computer is now in the basement and we got a new laptop (early Christmas present). So here are some great pictures of the kids from the past several weeks.

Such a goofball.

She is definitely the goofiest of the three.

In my new hat!
Always so serious when the camera comes out.

Playing in a box. Why buy toys?

Always the happy one! Just cruising around...

Stage Fright

Have you ever tried to pee in front of an audience? This is what happens when I try to take a quick bathroom break without closing the door.

RIP Formula Mixers

As of a month ago (yes I am behind) we finally finished using formula. The triplets are all on whole milk. I estimated that we made approximately 8100 bottles of formula or about 50,000 ounces. I shiver even thinking about that. We spent about 10-15 minutes every night mixing two different kinds of formula in the mixing pitchers (Kelen was on soy) and then pouring into the bottles and assembling them. And as far as how much money we spent on formula, I don't even want to do that calculation. I hope to never mix (or smell) formula again!
