May 16-26, 2011

Like I always say, where is time going?  These past few weeks were filled with family and friends as well as work.  I went back to work full time the week of May 22.  It is not as bad as I thought it was going to be since it is only 3 days!  I am glad I work 12 hour shifts because it gives me more time at home.  On May 21, we took the triplets and Hayden to the Scio Lamb and Wool Fair parade and Hayden had a blast picking up candy!  Katie, Olivia, Ashley, and my Mom and Dad came too.  Olivia is getting so big and Hayden loves "talking" to her.  Our friends Sue, Jessica, and Liz came down and were able to spend the day at my parents' house with Sarah and our 4 kids while I worked.  The triplets are all growing like crazy and are all at the stage of looking around, smiling, and cooing.  It is so much fun!  Hayden enjoys getting down and being right in their face and saying, "Hi" to them.  We are also glad that our friends, Brooke and Ben, have Evan home with them.  However, we are sad they are moving back to Minot, ND where their families are.  We are happy they get to be with their families because we could not imagine what it would be like to not have our families right here to help us! 
Their weights on May 19 were:
Hunter 11 lbs 15 oz
Hadley 9 lbs 11.5 oz
Holden 10 lbs .5 oz
Today, May 26, our good friends Jeff and Mindi along with Boone and Finn, came over and met the triplets for the first time!  They brought us delicious dinner and dessert.  Hayden had a blast running around with them.  It was reassuring to know they did not leave when all 3 babies were crying.  Instead, they held them while Sarah gave baths.  Hayden, Boone, and Finn all helped give baths.  Before we knew it, Boone was in the bathtub too, followed by Finn!  Hayden did not want to get in.  It was a lot of fun!  
Their weights on May 25 were:
Hunter 12 lbs 6 oz
Hadley 10 lbs 6 oz
Holden 11 lbs 6.5 oz

Thanks for the support and this is an amazing journey we are on for sure!  We are enjoying and cherishing  every minute of it and feel blessed to have what we do everyday!
