Happy Easter!

We have been updating you on how the babies are doing health wise but haven't updated you much on what they have been up to these days.  They keep their mommy & daddy very busy.  I am home with them during the day.  The babies are on a pretty good schedule with naps.  They take one between about 11-1 and then again in the late afternoon.  Of course, they are having a fussy time in the evening which is great for dad to see when he comes home.  The positive side of that is that I have some help in holding them when they are going through this time.  They say all babies have a time period when they get fussy and it is usually a specific time of day.  This is theirs and hopefully it will end sooner than later but until then we will just try to love on them, as usual, as much as possible with two sets of hands.  We have tried to switch things up a bit in the evening by taking them for a ride in the van.  Jason & I actually get a chance to talk to each other then.  We will give them a bath when they get home, feed them & put them to bed which, of course, usually requires us rocking atleast one of them (usually Bailey these days).  Whatever it takes for them to get their rest.  

All of the babies have been running low grade temps.  We had a scheduled appointment this past Tuesday.  Collin & Anniston are just congested and Bailey is congested and has an ear infection.  They are pretty good sick babies.  They rest very well but are still fussy which makes sense.  I wouldn't be too happy either.  

The babies made their first trip to church on Easter Sunday.  We dressed them in their Easter attire and headed off to church in the family van.  We were able to sneak into the side door and up to the balcony with them.  They did very well during the service besides a few grunts from Collin or should I say several.  He is a very loud boy.  He is very  peaceful when he sleeps though and he slept a lot of the time.  After church we were able to sneak out the side door again with only a stop or two of people wanting to peek and headed to Grandma & Grandpa Bum's house.  The babies opened their gifts and Cousin Xander had dyed some eggs for the babies and Jason & I also.  That was too sweet.  They enjoyed being held pretty much the whole time they were awake.  It is good to spoil them with that every once in while.  We definitely can't do that at home.  They squirm too much now.  We do our best though.

Jason & I have been able to get out a few times with Grandma & Grandpa's helpful watch over the babies.  Sometimes we have to run some errands and sometimes it is an enjoyable evening of dinner, shopping, and/or catching movie.  

Aunt Sharon got to make it out for the first time since they have been home.  She has 4 boys of her own (one being born shortly before the triplets) so she has been busy being a newborn mom too.  The babies enjoyed her a lot.  She gave them baths and swaddled them and held them and just loved on them all day.  I got to see my new nephew for the second time since he was born and he is just beautiful.  I am including a picture of him & I on this blog site.  You will have to check him out.  He is absolutely beautiful and is a very good and happy baby.

Gege got to watch them not too long ago while I went to the dentist.  She really enjoyed seeing them.  She got to love on them for a while and her & I got to visit for a little bit while they were resting.  

Aunt Donna is coming up to see them hopefully this next weekend.  She hasn't been able to see them either since they have been home.  Her boys are dying to see them.  They weren't very happy when we had to cancel on them this weekend because of the babies being sick.  We hope it works out this next weekend.  

We were also planning to visit with Gege, Aunt Stephanie & the rest of the family this weekend but were unable to.  We were all looking forward to visiting with them and were very bummed that we couldn't.

Aunt Tracy is going to try and visit with them a little this week.  She is on spring break which is pretty cool.  I will enjoy the company.  

We have also had several friends come by and help feed them & love on them which is awesome.  Thanks to all of you.

The babies have an appointment on April 9th with a doctor who will evaluate them developmentally.  Please pray that this goes well.  They are definitely not slowing down on the weight side of it all and they seem to be doing well overall so we strongly believe that it will.  

Thanks for all of the prayers & support.  Check out the latest pics.
