We Survived!!!

We made it! The babies are officially "travelers". We all survived a great trip to Michigan to visit family--10 hours there and 10 hours back! The plan of action: drive through the night so the "crew" will sleep the trip away!

Bottles and DVDs kept them happy, for the most part...

And Rem and Rose cozy in their crate.

Our destination was Coldwater Lake--the location of a cottage that has been in my mom's family for more than 100 years! As mentioned, the babes just loved the water!

Yes, before we knew it, they were swimming AWAY from us!We also made a trip to another lake--this one in Indiana--to visit Aunt Judy and Uncle Gordy where the babes got a chance to go boating!

Guess who played captain?

So many new experiences for these three... as well as new friends. This little girl we met at the playground wanted to take Olivia home with her. Somehow, Liv managed to make it back to Connecticut with us--thank goodness!

We also got to visit with relatives, including the lovely Aunt Helen who Miss Annie took to right away!
Cousins Lucy and Benjamin...

Grandma Becky...

Aunt Claudia...

A fantastic trip with SOO many great memories!

Swimmin' Sisters (and Brother)!

We got back from our trip to Coldwater Lake, Michigan early this morning! LOTS of great pictures and stories to tell, which I will get to once I catch up on my sleep (10 hours of driving all night)! So, to hold everyone over, here's a little video of the babies swimming--which they LOVED!

Road Trip!

Close to three hours in the car with three babies probably doesn't sound like much fun but it seems these triplets actually LIKE road trips! Either that, or we just got lucky this time 'round.

As mentioned, we headed to Northampton, MA for my Aunt Nancy's 60th birthday party. Such a wonderful time with wonderful people! The babies quickly made friends with their cousin Audrey. And Aunt Juli--she's so much fun!The highlight of the park where the party was held--THE SWINGS!

Miss Annie seemed to be especially partial to all the good food at the birthday picnic. All that playing make a girl hungry, right?
Soooo good to see everyone and Happy Birthday to Aunt Nancy! With the help of a half gallon of milk, we all made it home in one piece!

Grandpa's In Town!

Guess who drove ALL THE WAY from Michigan to visit us? Grandpa John is in town for a short visit, then heading to Northamptom, Massachusetts for Aunt Nancy's 60th birthday party. So, for his brief stint in Old Greenwich, we thought we'd let him experience a day in the life of Annie, Tommy, and Olivia. Where did it all start? Our favorite breakfast haunt, of course!

Aunt Chloe was along for the trip, as well.

It didn't take long before Grandpa was cracking a few smiles!

Then--along for our morning fitness walk--come on gramps, you can keep up!

It seems strolling through the park is more his speed...

Next the babes and I also head to Northampton for Aunt Nancy's big bash. We can't wait to see all the family that's in from all over the country!

Moustache Mania!

Beach Bummin'...

Just Like Mommy!

Sometimes the babies watch me while I get ready for work in the early afternoon. I often let them play with my brushes, hairdryer, and well, any makeup they can't get into. The girls soon began to imitate me doing my hair--ESPECIALLY Annie. So, I just got her her own brush. She may not have that much hair, but little Miss Annie LOVES to make herself look pretty!
