Well it's been "almost" a year...

...since I last posted! Whoops! I guess having triplets and finding time to blog, which I wasn't very good at doing daily, IS nearly impossible! Well, Thanksgiving 2011 was my last post. YIKES. Christmas was fun! We rang in the New Year very quietly, as all our littles were sleeping! July we celebrated the triplets' first birthday! Owen, Lyla and Noah had a huge birthday bash, decorated with owls, and attended by our closest family and friends! I can't believe a year has gone by, yet feel like it's been an eternity! Here's the trio in their birthday shirts!

The trio is crawling like mad, we had them "gated" in a small area up until a few weeks ago. The boys are starting to try out walking, and it just wasn't enough space with all the millions of toys they have! So we took down the gate, blocked off the TV and the kitchen and they have the run of the WHOLE living/dining room.

BEFORE...(spent a lot of time in there, and they eventually, when I say "they" I really mean NOAH, figured out how to get out. So we had to hold the gate closed next to the couch with a chair...made it difficult for our parents, and ourselves carrying babies, to get in and out!)

AFTER...(you can't see the dining room as I'm standing in it, it's all connected, one BIG room...they LOVE roaming free! I, of course, was terrified about them getting into things, but we baby-proofed quite well!) They're growing so big! Emmalee will be three this weekend! We're having small family parties...one for each side. It will be nice and quiet! She's starting to give us a bit of trouble, and I really have a hard time dealing with the attitude and balancing everything. Hopefully this stage blows over FAST!
