From When I Was 30 Weeks Pregnant

I found this email that I sent out on 4/5/06…just 11 days before the boys were born.  I found it ironic that the boys were born weighing 3-14, 4-5 and 3-12 (two of the exact same weights as my checkup).   
I had an ultrasound and doctor appointment today. Everything still looks great! I’m 30 weeks along. The [...]

Family Reunion

We got to see Grandma and Grandpa, Jan & Gary, Jenny, Great Aunt Helen and Paul when we were watching Uncle Jason skydive.  It was a pretty hot day.  The kids really loved watching the skydivers. 
Grandma and Gavin (?)

Great Aunt Helen with Vaughn.
And a family of skunks right where the skydivers were landing.

Hi Uncle Jason

Can you see the five little dots?
Here he comes.

And the landing.

He has the camera on his helmet.  He was recording the other skydivers.

I guess they had to make it a short day because around 7 pm the tornado sirens started going off.

Wednesday June 20th

We went down to the fountain last week with the Adkisons.   
Quite the crowd around the boys.  No, we don’t know any of them.

Boring

I feel like I  have nothing exciting to post these days.  Life has been hard, yet boring.
Wednesday we went to Jean’s house for a barbeque.  While there Vaughn took 4-5 steps at a time several times. 
Tonight Gavin had a temp of 104.8* when he got home from day care. 
It must be close to that time [...]

The Ditch

I forgot to blog about the ditch.  Long story Short:  Road Closed, we backed into a ditch.  I had to drag the kids out through the front seat.  We were having a fun time in the farmers garden – learning about various vegetables and how they grow.  Then it started to rain.  Lucy starts to [...]

Friday

After work we drove down to watch Jason doing Tandem Jumps.  www.archwayskydiving.com.
I can’t find my other camera…so when I do I’ll post pictures.
Then we ate at Mazzio’s.  We met another set of triplets there.  Three boys also.  But they were 11 years old.
Jamie’s Aunt Elaine and Uncle Bud were in town and wanted to see [...]

Thursday

We pulled the boys out of bed when the siren went off.  Headed down the basement for a half hour.  The sky was bright orange in one direction, and a beautiful rainbow in the other.

Our Night

Kimmee is one of the few people who gets to experience our nights from hell.  She comes over to gives baths every single week.  I don’t think she’s missed even one week in the past year.
Since Lucy and I made muffins…my night was off to a later start than usual.
Jackie and Brad stopped by and brought [...]

What’s That Noise? Who Cares?

It was 4 pm.  I was exhausted.  I sat down and thought I’d try to get a quick nap before it was time for the rat race to begin again.  I could hear cupboard doors opening and closing softly.  To be honest, I didn’t care what was happening.  The boys were awake…but in their cribs.  Grace [...]
