Ear Tubes, Check

Well all of the babies now have had their ear tube surgery.  I took Collin to get his surgery yesterday.  He also had his ear tags (excess skin) taken off and his tougue clipped because he was tougue-tied (ouch!).  I am amazed at how well he has done since the surgery.  You would never believe he just had surgery.  Yesterday, after we were finished at the hospital, we went to Grandma & Grandpa Bum's house where Aunt Tracy brought the two girls to hang out with everyone.  She watched the girls for me yesterday while I was with Collin.  Thanks so much Tracy.  Your the best! Anyway, Collin was sitting with Grandpa and was just smiling and playing and he then was jumping in the jumperoo just having a great time.  There has been no indication that any of it, even the tougue clipping, has been bothering him at all.  How resilient are kids!  They are amazing. 
We have been trying to enjoy the fall season.  I love it because it is when families gather the most.  I love Halloween and Thanksgiving and Christmas.  It is the best time of the year.  However, it has been so cold lately that we have been unable to take the kiddos out.  We have taken them other places to stroll around inside.  The babies are enjoying playing together.  They are so fun to watch.  One will crack up at the other one because of something silly they are doing.  It is too cute.  
We are having so much fun with them. We thank all of you for keeping up with our blog even when we don't update as often and placing so much of an interest in our kids.  

Thanks

Full Mobility!

Hello all. It's hard to believe that it is the middle of October. The big news is that all three of the triplets are crawling and pulling up on things. Bailey was the last to start crawling, but she has been able to roll around to about anywhere for some time now. Anniston managed to climb our staircase all the way to the top (with dad making sure she didn't fall backwards). She continued to explore the stairs from time to time so we had to install the gate. The other kids really haven't had a chance to attempt the climb. The girls got their ear tubes inserted last Friday. They seem to be doing well. Collin is scheduled to get tubes at the end of this month. The kids are eating a lot more solid food. They don't seem to be gaining much weight, but that is probably because they are expending so much more energy crawling around. They're getting taller and, compared to several months ago, their faces look so much thinner. It is fun to see the kids exploring their environment! Praise God for our little ones.
