10 Years of Wedded Bliss!



Today marks the 10th anniversary of our wedding day! It's hard to believe that 10 years can fly by so fast. Imagine if we had known back then, what the next 10 years would bring us - 5 kids, 4 moves, 1 back surgery, 2 parents who beat cancer (one of them - twice), TRIPLETS - we would've never believed it! God had it all in His plan when He chose us to be together for life. I am so thankful that my best friend, Rich, decided to move down to Texas in 1997 to "go to grad school". Ten years feels like just yesterday............I'm looking forward to what the next 10 years will bring us!










Then "1998"

Now "2008"

For all the Ava Followers........


It's ironic how I've had several people lately tell me about how much they like Ava, that I thought I would do a little update on our little "sweet petite" as we so affecionately call her! Ava is our middle daughter (of the triplets), and held the silver medal in weight at birth. She quickly gave up the ranking to her younger/lighter sister, Elaina, when her sweet and patient (aka: pokey) personality kicked in. She has always been very laid back, easygoing, and patient - especially when it comes to eating. Some people, (my dad), like to say she has "mysterious eyes". She has the most hair of the bunch, and it's coming in curly (too cute). However, having had poker straight hair my whole life - I am at a loss to know what to do with it! She has this funny way of wrinkling up her nose and breathing noisily through it, to make us laugh. She has 2 cute little bottom teeth and likes to use the little blades to chew on end tables and toes (not her own!). She is FAST and quiet as a church mouse - so she is quite the adventurer! She can make it to the top of the stairs in seconds if let out of the "cage" of our family room. She has us in the palm of her hand when she utters the sounds - Dadadada, or mamamama. We're looking forward to the many adventures to come with our sweet little girl!

Nine Months!


The girlies are 9 months old today! I almost get teary eyed just writing it. To think back one year ago at this time - being huge and pregnant, with 3 months to go - the unknowns were endless. Here we are today, with 3 bouncing (I mean bouncing) baby girls, and all I can say is "Praise God"! Who would've known that Rich and I would be capable of such a feat (along with the generous help of many!)
Today they stand as 3 stair climbing, hair pulling , crib standing, babbling, bundles of joy! We are loving every minute of it! Especially when 6:30pm rolls around!
