It has been way too long....

Our first attempted professional family picture!! :)




I can't believe it has been almost 2 months since I have last posted on here!! Actually, thinking back to how busy we have been I guess I can believe it. I was going to try to re-cap but I think I will just move forward before the babies wake from their nap and it takes me another 2 months to get on here!
First and foremost the triplets are doing awesome! They are getting so big, they are 8 1/2 months old. They have started holding their own bottles which has been so nice!! Well actually Kayla can hold hers no problem, Riley tries really hard and cries really hard when she drops it, and Joey actually doesn't try too much...he still makes me do all the work! This morning Riley was laying down drinking her bottle and Kayla scooted over to her and took it out of her mouth and started drinking it! It was too funny!
Lindsay is going to be 3 in 2 months!! Time really does fly! She is doing great but I keep putting off potty training! She shows some interest here and there but for the most part she could care less. But what's one more diaper to change?! Sooner or later it will happen I guess!
And for the big news...I will be going back to work next week after being off for almost a year!! I am actually looking forward to it, I have missed being out of the classroom and it will be nice to have conversations with adults during the day! We hired a nanny to come to our house to watch the triplets. She used to work for a friend of a friend's family so I thankfully feel comfortable having her. She came two days last week and this week while I am still home to get used to their schedule and she has done great! Thankfully the babies have been great for her too! She even does some of my laundry and house cleaning so it has been nice. I wish I could have had her a lot sooner to help me at home!!!
So these next few months are going to be filled with change...with me going back to work (and turning 29 next month...ew! ), Lindsay tunring 3, and the triplets turning 1 in December! (wow that sounds weird to say!), plus all the holidays in there! I will try my best to keep you all posted!! Here are a few recent pictures of our family! Hope everyone is well and thank you for still checking my blog!! :)




Lindsay got into the baby powder while I was on the phone. She dumped the whole bottle out!!! My house smelled like baby powder for days!

Brian tore apart our backyard and is in the process of building an island BBQ/Bar with a firepit and then re-doing our concrete and grass. More pictures to come! :)

LOVE to hear from you and especially to see your beautiful family! You are amazing Jen! I am so glad you are able to go back to work too. That WILL be a nice way to balance your life a little bit. So glad you have someone who will love on your babies (and clean your house!!) while you're away for a bit!
Keep up the good work!
You are thought of all the time!!
