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!

New curtains

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.

If you visited us in the last few days- you may have noticed this message “Your account has been suspended”. Some hacker broke into one of my sites and used it to send email spam. It has all been sorted now.
Apparently the hacker has more time on his hands than someone with triplets. If only he applied himself
I just noticed a spike in traffic to our triplets site. I checked my analytics and manntriplets.com is now # 9 in google for the term “triplets” !
Number 9 out of 4,960,000 ain’t too bad ! The site is #3 for “triplets information”.
Anyways- the triplets are teething and they have not been to happy today. We have had a nice Christmas vacation. We plan to upload some pictures in our free time

Visit from Jody’s Family

(Kerry Here)
My eye is doing much better. I can even see the clock now and some of the numbers on it! And I am driving myself again (mostly on the road) . The triplets are doing good too.
We had a nice weekend. Jody (my manager) and her husband and two boys stopped over for a visit. Lilly was going nuts all day- “my boys coming over to play- my friends coming over” . Lilly wouldn’t leave Ben or Bryant alone. But they were very good with her and the triplets. Much more patient that I would have been.
They each held the girls and helped with feedings. We had a nice time. On top of that Jody and her family made us some food for another day! Lasagna and a Tator Tot Hot Dish. We really appreciate it – and the dinners are so helpful as you could imagine. Plus lasagna is one of my favorites !
Thanks so much. We look forward to getting together again.
Jenell and the girls are up north for the week. Her dad picked them up on Sunday and I am going to pick them up with my brother-in-law on Saturday. So I am a bachelor for the week! I watched the packer game (the shutout packer game !) and I wasn’t holding a baby. It was nice. It’s nice to have a break and concentrate on one job for a while- but I do miss them. I have Colby to keep my company. It will be nice for Jenell to have some help for a few days- she has been going strong with little help for a few weeks now.
