Great Helpers!!!

Hello everyone,

Our family was very fortunate to have 2 great ladies come to visit last week. Annie & Sue (my mom's friends) came to visit my mom and help with the babies upon me returning to work. It was wonderful having them here, as they helped feed, bathe, clean, and cook for us and the babies! Special thanks to Annie for all the great meals, they are delicious...I could only wish to open my freezer in the future and have so many meals to pick from! Thanks Sue for helping out with the babies, and making each one of them feel extra special. And of course, Jackson continues to talk about Mrs. Sue - and thanks for making him feel special too! The best part for me was seeing how happy my mom was to have her friends here and to share this "multiple" experience with them. Again, words cannot express how wonderful and helpful it was to have both Annie & Sue here.

I was also fortunate to have a visit from our favorite NICU nurse, Kathleen. She came to see the babies for the first time since they were discharged from the hospital. Jackson and each baby received an Easter basket full of goodies! Jackson was so excited to get an early Easter basket! We look forward to many more visits from Kathleen in the near future.

Cooper weighs 15 pounds (Holy Moly - he's big)

I am very excited as I just purchased a new Nikon digital camera....and I plan on taking a lot more pictures...so stay tuned!!!

Wonderful Surprise

This past Friday my wonderful husband surprised me with a visit from my BFF Brandy (she is pictured below) from Ohio. Picture this....I was stressing because I was feeding three babies and working on getting Jackson ready for bed. Of course, Marvin was late coming home from work as usual so I was getting frustrated to say the least, and as I am getting ready to be annoyed with Marvin for being late....in walks Brandy! Right after that, Marvin lets in 2 babysitters to watch all the kids so we could go out for Tacos and Margaritas...I really needed that after a busy afternoon with the kids.

On Saturday we went to Downtown Disney and Jackson had a blast with Brandy. She was able to see firsthand how some people treat us like a freak show. People stare and make comments....and people try and look at the babies despite us covering them up. People should get a hint, if the stroller shade is pulled in front of a baby, it means I don't want you to look or touch my babies!!! Okay, enough about that. We raced in the evening to get the kids ready for bed, so as soon as Marvin got home from work, Brandy and I went out on the town. First we went for Sushi, then to the outlet mall (very depressing as nothing fits), and then we went to an Irish Pub. It reminded me of the good old times of partying in Ohio. We were very sad to see Brandy leave on Sunday, we had a great time and we will definitely have to do it again.

Coming up this week, GOMOTT, the Greater Orlando Mothers of Twins and Triplets has their annual spring party. My mom and I are planning on taking Jackson and the triplets for the Easter Egg Hunt, should be FUN.

On a side note, some may wonder why I don't have more pictures of Jackson and the triplets together....and that's because he HATES taking pictures with them. The only picture I could get of him this last month was sitting next to them watching T.V. (see above) I will keep trying though!
