MannTriplets

Well, we made it! I cant believe how fast it went…I can actually look back and say i miss it. I never thought I would say that, but I do. WOW that was a very hard road, but they are healthy and beautiful. We are so blessed! Thank you to everyone who helped us through the girls first year of life. I am counting down the time that they were actually born.

Alyssa Lynn Mann first to be born at 10:34pm at 3lbs 13oz

Katie Sue Mann second to be born at 10:36pm at 3lbs 1oz

Emma Elizabeth Mann was third to be born at 10:39 at 3lbs 10oz

All born today July 9th of last year 2007

Very happy and healthy girls. And have a Big Sister who loves them so much, Lilly Kate. I am anxiously awaiting tomorrow for my cousin Lori and her two beautiful kids to come to my busy house for the weekend…I cant wait! HURRY UP! And also for the girls birthday party at Aunt Elayne’s House! See you there!

Looking at the last post can you tell who daddy’s favorite is?  Its always been Emma.  He named her so I think that makes it even better.  I love them all the same.  But I cant believe how they are changing so much.  They are all crawling now and waiting to start walking.  They love standing unassisted and walk around in their walkers and around furniture.  I’m having a hard enough time keeping up with them, i don’t know what kind of trouble they will get into when all four are walking.  One more obstacle we are looking forward to.

Their 1st Birthday is coming up so quickly too…I cant believe in 5 days they will be one!  I remember being in my hospital room watching the fireworks from my window.  I actually remember talking to my dad while watching them.  And how sore and tired I was.  Believe it or not, I miss being pregnant with them, it was a long hall, but worth all the pain.  We are so blessed with four beautiful, healthy girls.

I just cant believe they are almost one already, boy how does time fly.  Really, i don’t remember Lilly’s first birthday going this fast, but then again, she is three already!  Will time go triple fast for us?  It seems like it!  All I can say is we are so blessed!  I cant wait for their party.  Cant wait to see you there!

Goodnight for now.  I have been so busy I have had no time to get on here and update you…Hopefully can make time!  And FAMILY when you read this please leave some comments!

Hi everyone, I have been so so busy, I haven’t gotten a chance to get on here and write. I know a lot of you are reading this, so please leave comments…Well where should I start. Hummm…Katie has been crawling for over a month now and is trying to stand up she does half way, she gets up on my legs and pulls herself up, half way. Emma is now crawling too, just a week ago she started. Alyssa doesn’t care too much yet she just likes sitting up and watching everyone. They are all eating their own bottles on their own now, which is so nice, but since they lay on the ground they roll over without finishing it, so i don’t know what they ate or who’s is who’s bottle…But its been a lot easier.

Lilly has been the big sister in every way including beating up her little sisters. She is such a good help, right now she is making my scrape better, putting band-aids on them saying all better mommy, Katie is crawling up my leg, Emma and Alyssa are sleeping. That’s how it always goes, one or two sleeping the other one awake then the other two wake up and the third sleeps so i never get a break during the day. Between cleaning the house, doing the dishes, washing and folding clothes, taking care of four kids and Kerry, i have been so busy and have no time to myself anymore. But I love it and I am so Blessed and wouldn’t change it for anything.

Hmmm…what else. We are so excited for this summer, our pool will be opened soon so Lilly will have something to look forward to. We might even get a chance to take the boat out. OK now Lilly is taking cute pictures of Katie who is now on my lap laughing hysterically…Anyways, oh Katie and Alyssa have there first two teeth in and Emma is still working on hers, she is the worst…Poor baby. I still cant believe I am the mother of four beautiful girls. Its a lot of work, but I love it. Well I better be going, Katie is getting mad (tired) and I need to get supper ready. I hope to hear from some of you soon, and maybe some of you will leave comments???

Oh one more last thing, the girls birthday is coming up soon…so keep an eye out for invites…I cant believe they are going to be one already, not to mention my little girl is three already, ok gotta go, Katie is pinching me. Bye for now!

The triplets are 9 months old. And Lilly is 3. The triplets are teething and up all night. They are crying right now. Otherwise they are healthy and we look forward to when they can sleep all night.

Thank you Rick and Ana for having us over for dinner last Friday. We had a great time - and Thanks Ana for scanning these images for us.

Hi, I just wanted to post an over due thank you to the Girls wonderful Grandma Sue! She made the most beautiful curtains for the triplet’s room and Lilly’s room. Lilly’s room really needed them because all of the sunlight comes in, its the brightest room in the house. They are very cute, she put a lot of work into them. Lilly’s curtains are butterflies, flowers and a lot beautiful colors. The triplet’s curtains are Winnie the pooh. All the pooh stuff went to the triplets and Lilly has moved on to bigger girl stuff.

Dad and Sue got the sheers for Lilly’s baby shower and Sue made curtains to go with them. They are so cute. Makes the room look so much better and more like a nursery. Thank you. If you read this, I really thought I called you to thank you again, but I must not have. Ask everyone who has been here, that’s the first thing I tell them is to go upstairs and look at the beautiful curtains! WE all love them and Lilly now takes naps in there because the sun is blocked! Thank you so much.

I also wanted to write about the girls, but I don’t have any time anymore, they are up so much during the day, they are now playing on the ground with there big sister. They still don’t sleep through the night! So needless to say I am beat. Thank goodness for Aunts! We packed up the girls and went to Aunt Elayne’s for the last weekend. Boy was that nice, we got to see all the Aunts. Aunt Margie came over Friday night when we got there so Kerry and I could have a night out. Saturday—ALL DAY Aunt Mary came over and later that night she and I had a girls night out! Thank you so much for that and all the presents, (she spoiled me and the girls) And then there is my dear Aunt Elayne who puts up with us and lets us stay at her house, not to mention lets me sleep in and all night long! I don’t know what I would do with out these breaks. Thanks to all of you so much! We had a wonderful, very fun and relaxing weekend. Now its back to reality! Thanks sorry got to go, Emma is calling me. I will write again soon. I need to update more on the girls. Take care, hope to get some comments from this.
