Family Pictures

Back when we lived in Newnan we scheduled an appointment with a photographer who was also a member of my Moms of Multiples group.  Through a series of scheduling conflicts we went over a year and a half without ever getting the session done.  But we finally got around to it and they turned out great.  They were "real" portraits instead of posed studio ones.  The photographer is www.brennabphotography.com

Easter Fun

The kids had a ball at Easter a few weeks ago.  We had a brunch with the whole family over at Mimi and Papa's house.  Thankfully the rain held off long enough to hunt Easter eggs.  By the time we were heading out though the rain came in full fury.  Here are some pics from the hunt:

And a collage I put together of each of the kids' first four Easters.

At the kids' dentist appointments a few months ago the dentist said we could start using regular toothpaste instead of the "baby" non-fluoride paste we'd been using.  It took a little time to get used to the switch because we had to teach the trio to swish and spit out the paste.  But they are getting the hang of it.  Of course their aim is a little wild so our sink looks like it's been sprayed with milky water.  Oh well, that's life!

Moms of Multiples Spring Party

A few weeks ago our Gwinnett group had a party at a local park.  Everyone brought a dish to share and plastic eggs for the kids to have an egg hunt.  There was even an Easter bunny there posing for pictures with the kids.  Although the bunny was pretty scary.  Not sure where he came from!  There was a limit on the number of eggs each child should collect and there were many responsible parents enforcing the rules but some were not.  There was this one little girl loading up her basket as fast as she could and no parents in sight.  I hate irresponsible people!  But despite this issue the kids had a ball.  And I even saw an old high school friend there with her family.  A great day!

The scariest bunny ever!

The Graduate

Most of this blog is devoted to the childrens' accomplishments but every now and then it's only fair we get to sneak some in. One of the reasons I've been behind in blogging is because I was studying the 8th (and final) course to earn my CPCU designation. It's the equivalent of a masrer's degree in the insurance world. It was very grueling & took me close to 10 years off and on to complete it. But now I'm done & I will be graduating soon! Here are some pics taken at work during a celebration.

What happened to February???

Last month I did something I've never done in the 3 1/2 years I've been blogging...

I just let a whole month go by without posting! I missed the month of February completely. And if not for my business trip I might have missed the month of March too!

During this time we have done so much but there just hasn't been a lot of time for the computer. I was feverishly studying for my last CPCU exam- which I passed! Then Kurt and I put several weeks of work into prepping for the Moms of Multiples consignment sale which turned out great! But now that I'm away from home & the kids I can devote a few moments to the blog.

Kurt has been interviewing for jobs & even had one on Valentine's Day. But that didn't stop him from bringing the kids up to see me & surprising me with a gorgeous bouquet of roses. We had lunch at Red Lobster which was quite a treat. I love seeing the trio during the work day! We did manage to snag a few pics. Stay tuned for more posts as I attempt to catch everyone up. 

Princess of.....Everything!

Ever since Sarah was born we have sung this silly song with lyrics that include "Sarah Beara...princess of everything".  At some point she started to sing along and finish the sentence before we could.  It's always been a funny joke in our house.  For her birthday this year a friend gave her a tiara and wand.  She has worn that tiara every day since she got it.  I'm starting to believe she's the real deal!
