Julie -
How absolutely beautiful you are; they are! I know I haven't written in so long, but mom told me of your beautiful video that I had to watch! The triplets are gorgeous. It's hard to belive how quickly the first year goes by. What an amazing job you have done with them!
After I had Alex, my first son, my mom's friends told me, "Embrace him, it goes too fast. Before you know it they're in school, then in high school, college and then you're holding your grandchildren." "It goes in a blink!"
Alex starts Kindergaten next month, Evan starts Pre-K and Stephen will be 2 yrs in October. I think that once there are no more bottles, diapers, rocking them to sleep, and they are sleeping through the night - they enter the next phase. They become independent. Next thing you know they are asking questions about the world around them. All of a sudden you realilze - Hey - they they don't need me to help them as much; you have a little more free time to yourself during the day and night. You eat, shower, talk to your spouse. It becomes so apparent that they are little people, growing up so fast. You have more of a life than you used to and they now have their lives! This is when time starts to fly. I say to you, Embrace them - hold them and munch on them as much as you can; as much as they let you!
My little guys are now little men, and off to school and I just can't believe it. Stephen gets the munching still - lucky for him, Alex and Evan love him so much too, which is the most beautiful gift.
God bless your sweet and perfect loves! You are such strength. Thank you for your update! I can't wait until their first birthdayparty - I am sure that is going to be all out!
