I only have a minute to write this as all of us here in the household are really sick.  But I know some of you like to hear how the girls are doing.  So here is the latest from the last Dr visit:

Alyssa Lynn is 19lbs 4.8 oz

Katie Sue is 20lbs 11.2 oz

Emma Elizabeth is 20lbs

The dr said they are right on track and they are doing great!  Well until now when all of us are sick!  They have been so good.  They listen really good.  I can call them or ask them to do something and they usually do it.  Were so blessed to have such a beautiful and very healthy family!

On the other hand, poor Lilly she is missing school, she has been off the last 2 days cause she is so sick!  She loves school so much!  Actually Monday she got stung by a bee for the first time.  I just missed it the teacher said.  She was playing on the jungle gym outside and put her hand directly on the bee!  She told the teacher that the monkey bars bit her! HAHAH how cute!  Shes fine, at least i know shes not allergic!  Ok thats it for now.  Hope everyone is doing good!  Please leave some comments to let me know someone is reading this!  Take care

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, 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.

We have so much to be thankful for- this blog is turning into all thank yous !

Thank you to our wonderful freinds from church !

• Diane has been amazing – coming to help several times a week- she is great with the girls- she even arranged a team of friends to come and clean the entire house -She also arranged to have our driveway plowed out many times now. We don’t know what we would do without you
• Betty has come by and helped with the girls and she is so good with Lilly too
• Mary can by with bags of diapers and clothes and tons of christmas goodies
• There are so many others that have stopped by or offered cloths or gifts for the girls- thank you to all of you  !!

Thank you to aunt Elayne ! She has become the 8th member of our family (thats counting Colby)  and we are so blessed to have her. She spent several days with us over Christmas and she has driven from Milwaukee almost every weekend to help out.

Thank you to Dad and Sue for all of the gifts – Thank you for your support and for having us all at your house for a week.

Thank you to Kerry’s dad for coming by on weekends to help with the girls and all of the work you have put into the bathroom.

Thank you to Lea – She comes by all the time and she is so good with girls and she helps clean the house !

Thank you to Aunt Mary and Uncle Dave for coming all the way down and taking Lilly shopping ! Thanks for the  area rug and the gifts

Thank you to Kerry’s friends and coworkers who have given diapers and gift cards for dinner and made actual dinners !

Thank you to  everyone else- sorry if I forgot someone…. Thanks everyone

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.
