2nd Birthday

Well here they are:

My three lil' two year olds! It is SOOOO hard to believe that Olivia, Harry and Madeline are now officially two years old. In some ways it seems like a life time ago that these three little miracles were born over 12 weeks early weighing in at just over 2lbs. each. And it seems like a life time ago that we called the NICU at Clarian North our home away from home for almost 11 weeks. It also seems like forever ago that we would be up for an hour and a half every 3 hours trying to feed three tiny preemies who took forever to finish a bottle. And time has continued to fly by while we have watched these three amazing kiddos changes SO much and beat SO many odds that were against them in the beginning. Now they are turning into little people....definitely not babies anymore! They love to run and play and chatter (they get that honestly!) and say 'no'. They also have decided that now they are two so they can throw tantrums like two year olds are supposed to;-) We have been more blessed than we can ever thank God for!

Here are some pictures from the birthday festivities. Bryan took Thursday off since it was their actual birthday and we decided to take the kiddos for a picnic at Ft. Ben Harrison State Park. Here are some pictures of the trips have fun on the playground:






Off they go!


We then had our family over Thursday evening for pizza and cupcakes and to watch the triplets open their presents. Here is Madeline giving her baby cousin, Evan a hug.

And Harry giving him a high-five...they will be such good buddies some day!

On Saturday, we threw a Micky Mouse Clubhouse themed birthday party for the triplets. We invited our closest family and friends to join us in celebrating their birthday. Thank you SO much to everyone who came...it was amazing!

The kiddos LOVE balloons right now! Here are Olivia and Harry with their Mickey Mouse balloons.
