Looking forward to Mother's Day

I am looking forward to my second Mother's Day. This is a very special day for me and my family. The only thing I would like to do is to take the boy's out for ice cream! Sounds like so much fun!
When I came home from work (9:15 pm---started at 7:30, but I am currently working on graduate courses so it is OK) Ryan was crying. Howie had washed their blankets but forgot to dry them. It threw everything off so much so that poor Ryan was sobbing when I went up to get him. Casey was up but he was entertaining himself with his feet and Sean was asleep belly down, one hand on his flashlight and the other on a book. I held R and C for a long time. They have this funny thing they do...they dig their nail into my skin. They do it when they are reading, they do it when they are drinking their bottles, they will be running around and stop, grab my hand and dig their nails into it. It doesn't really hurt it is just a funny habit. Anyway, I put casey into his crib and he reluctantly put his head on his pillow and with with blanket he was very happy. Ryan wanted to be put down, he was reaching for his crib when he saw his pillow and blanket magically appeared. I sat on the floor with one hand in one crib and one in the other so they could both dig their nails into my fingers!

A great end to a long day. These are some pictures of the umbrellas we bought to use with out choo coo.

This is a poem I found on one of the amazing triplet sites. Thanks to angusandthetriplets.com for sharing this. I'm not sure if he wrote it but I am going to ask.


NOW I KNOW WHY MOTHERS CRY

The longing aching in your heart

Like an arrow piercing in the dark

Your constant prayer to God above

To send a family to share and love

For new born babes full of innocence & charm

Snuggles and cuddles just made for your arms

Precious gifts from above to amaze and behold

More precious than oil and gold

I see the beauty in my babies eyes

And now I know why mothers cry

The sweet sound of babies chatter

Their little feet go pitter patter

To be brought forth in days of latter

And teach of things that really matter

About faith & hope and joy complete

As we gather round the Saviors feet

No earthly force could make such splendor

The grace the beauty so soft and tender

They must be sent from heaven on high

And now I know why mothers cry

My Support System

I need to thank all the people who helped get us through the pregnancy and first year. We have been blessed with the most supportive group of loving, caring people anyone could ever ask for. My mother, my sister Eileen and my childhood friend Dawn were my rocks during the good and the bad.
In addition I am blessed with some friends that have become family. Terry, Anne and Katie have become such an important part of our family. These are some of the most caring people I have ever met.

5/4/08 Almost 21 months!

Tomorrow they boy's will be 21 months!
We went to great grandma's house today for a visit. She was so surprised how big they are. They ran into the backyard as she sat on the deck. What a surprise. They proceeded to eat all of her grapes (no surprise as they are their favorite snack). U Dave come over and the 6 of us (pop-pop too) had a great time. We then proceeded to grandma's house where we ate dinner and once again left her with a mess. --thanks grandma and grandpa
Casey-
So much fun. Big, big smiles.
Ryan-
Ryan needs to choose where he wants to sit in the car. No one else cares (thank god) but it is a big deal to him. He also has to have Sean's and Casey's cup , plate, snack, shirt and pants. I think he is the only 21 month old that will tell you what will tell you what he will and will not wear. Ryan always wants to be with his brothers. He is very concerned for them and looks out for them.
Sean-
Most definately his own man. He repeats everything you say.
