Our life with triplet daughters from hospital bed rest, to NICU, to CPR scare, to . . . well, enjoy over five years of weekly blogs!
 |
| So apparently that's not purple, it's fuchsia. |
 |
| Rianne is all about this wedding getting started . . . |
 |
| Seems like Brielle's got an itch . . . |
 |
| Silly faces! |
 |
| Okay Brielle . . . |
 |
| Yup, silly faces are over . . . |
 |
| More cheese than Wisconsin . . . |
 |
| Use your smile to change the world, don't let the world change your smile. |
 |
| Do we get to blow bubbles when Bri leaves? |
 |
| We're both kind of not ready for this picture . . . |
 |
| And Teagan is totally ready |
 |
| Serious face |
 |
| Happy face. |
 |
| Silly face! |
 |
| The girls never really understood what frost was, so kinesthetic learner Teagan picked up a leaf |
 |
| Rianne, of course, curious as to what her sister was going, went over as well |
 |
| Teagan brings it to the PhD for analysis. . . |
 |
| Brielle: Well, Teagan, I think it might be one of two indigenous trees to Iowa, either the American Hornbeam which is sometimes confused with my other guess, the Hophornbeam, it's got a bit of an oval lanceolate shape to it . . . |
 |
| Guys, let's go to school . . . I'm going to carry my winter jacket for now. |
 |
| Well, my other hand is freezing from the leaf. |
 |
| It's sooooo cold! |
 |
| You know, I think it's a maple leaf . . . |
 |
| Pretty jacket . . . |
 |
| Mine's pretty too! And pink! |
 |
| I went for a more intricate design. |
 |
| On the field of battle, and wind, and more wind . . . |
 |
| A fight that will continue for another 13 years . . . Teagan and Rianne fight for the ball . . . seeya next week, it's Wedding time! |
 |
| Oh, I wanted to have vampire fangs . . . |
 |
| I'm a jaguar vampire! |
 |
| We are totally ready to get in the car, we just forgot Brielle. . . . Brieeeeelllllle? |
 |
| Carbs and good fat guacamole? |
 |
| Teagan: I'm having trouble eating my pumpkin pie? Why? |
 |
| I don't know, I keep getting things caught in my teeth . . . |
 |
| I think my jaw is stuck. |
 |
| Little help please, it looks delicious. |
 |
| Major meltdown in the morning . . .why? |
 |
| I don't know. Just something I need to get used to, unexplained emotional bursts without a rationale, I'm here for you. |
 |
| Fuzzy jacket! |
 |
| Dad, can you have my fuzzy jacket and 4 candy corns ready for when I'm done? |
 |
| See, I don't have any candy corns and I need some . . . |
 |
| I'm going to keep smiling until I get you to say yesssss! See you next week . . . |
 |
| Yeah, I'm a Jaguar now . . . |
 |
| I'm fast, I'm powerful, I'm . . . |
 |
| If a cheetah can go 75 miles an hour, a jaguar 40 miles an hour, and a human 27 miles an hour, what would be the percentage that a jaguar is faster than a human and the percentage that a jaguar is slower than a cheetah? |
 |
| C'mon Brielle, we're gonna be late, the bell rang! |
 |
| And soccer . . . |
 |
| They are actually pretty attentive . . . |
 |
| Foot on the ball, move like a penguin . . . |
 |
| And drift away after five minutes of playing. |
 |
| Kindergartners aren't allowed on the Monkey Bars during school. |
 |
| So the girls felt they had something to prove. |
 |
| I can do anything a first grader can . . . |
 |
| Not stuck . . . |
 |
| One more to go . . . |
 |
| so close |
 |
| Gonna one arm it and . . . |
 |
| I'm flexing under my sweatshirt. |
 |
| And Teagan crushing it on the bar. |
 |
| Pretty clouds. I think I'll just hang here until I see you next week! |
