Well, we made it a year. The triplets turned 1 year old this past week. Thinking back, parts of it seems like a lifetime ago (which for the triplets it is) and other moments seem like just yesterday. We've truly been blessed that everyone is healthy and growing as expected. This spring, we invested in a triple stroller which has improved our quality of life greatly. With the city lake being 2 blocks away with a couple miles of walking trails going around, we make it a daily routine to get everyone out to get some fresh air.



The babies personalities continue to develope and although they are triplets, they have very distinctive personalities. Louie is a typical little boy. He's definitely a "mama's boy". Greta is unique in that she has a halo around her and if any of her siblings breech her space, she'll let them know it. Agatha is our mover, we have to lay our chairs and stools out across the room so she can creep from one side of the room to the other. At this moment, no one is walking, but they are getting close. Like their older sister, none of them have shown much desire to crawl. They can scoot and roll across a room rather quickly, but that's it as of now.

Elsie and Adeline are busy helping mom with everything. Elsie is much more of a help than we notice. She's our eye's and ears when we're busy with other chores. Adeline probably wishes the babies could play a little rougher than they do, but she too can keep them entertained when we can't.


Hope all is well with everyone else.
