On the move...

Who thinks we need a new blog post? Daniel says, "I do, I do!"


What a beautiful week! The weather has been perfect so we have been able to get outside a lot. We have gone to the Farmers Market twice and walk to see Kevin at work often. The triple stroller has saved my life! It is so nice to get outside and get some fresh air. For awhile there I thought I would never leave our family room - you know, the one with the blue plaid furniture that most of the pictures have as the background? We have been able to go for walks almost everyday. One of the lingering side effects of my triplet pregnancy is bad knees (they swell, I can't bend them, Kevin usually has to help me get up off the floor) so I have to take every few days off to give them a rest. The knees are slowly getting better. I have heard from other Mothers of Multiples that it takes a good year to get your body back to somewhat normal - almost half way there.We have a lot of shade in our backyard in the afternoon so I throw a big blanket on the ground and we just lay on the blanket and wait for Kevin to get home from work.


The Becklets are still fabulous! We have really started to get into solid food. They have been on cereal for several weeks and we have started to introduce different foods. They LOVE bananas and sweet potatoes so far. I am going to try to make their baby food. My first attempt will be today with sweet potatoes. I bought them, I just need to cook them and puree them. I'll let you know how it goes. Here are some pics of their first taste of sweet potatoes - a little unsure at first, but they love them now. (Kate, Daniel, Anna)



No plans for the weekend, except I need to do a little shopping for a care package for my brother, Michael, who is having back surgery on Monday in Boston. I hope I can get the goodies in the box without eating too many of them! We miss you Uncle Michael! Good Luck on Monday! We'll be praying for you!

Finally, a big shout out to my friends at LT. I know you still read the blog and want you to know how much I miss you guys! I'll have to bring the Becklets for another visit soon.

Have a great weekend!

I can't believe I forgot to post about Anna rolling over!!!! What a terrible Mother! Anna rolled over earlier this week. I had put her on her belly and then went into the other room to change a diaper. I was watching her because she was trying so hard but then I got distracted with the diaper change. When I looked back, she was on her back! Way to go Anna!!!
