Busy? Yes. Tired? Yes. Would trade this life with someone else? Not in a million years.

I was trying to think of something profound to write about.  And then I realized I have the perfect excuse: we have three newborn babies. Life has been beautifully crazy lately.  Three babies, two toddlers, a new business, a new normal. We have a lot to be thankful for and a lot to do! Our days don't have a spare minute in them and our nights revolve around three sweet girls. No one ever said it would be easy and we are doing the best we can.  Every time I tell someone that we have five children, they always reply with "I hope you have a lot of help!"...not exactly!

I certainly don't take as many pictures of them as I'd like (they change every day!) but I try to take some every week.  That's the best I can do at this point! :) Lily and Landon still love them and are a huge help.  Landon likes to get their diapers out of the bin for us when we are changing them and he likes to stand right beside me while I change them.  He is already a protector! Lily loves to hold, feed, and sing to the babies.  She shares her toys with them (sometimes I find random objects sitting with them in their swings/bouncy seats) and always makes sure they are okay.  Trying to keep them out of their faces is nearly impossible, but we do the best we can.

Lily and Landon are loving preschool and each had preschool celebrations over the past week.  Lily's was a Thanksgiving feast and Landon's was just a party (complete with animal crackers, saltines, and juice!). Lily's was a bigger deal (because she is three and not two) and they even sung songs! Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks.

Your girls (and Landon!) are absolutely beautiful. While I never in a million years guessed I'd have triplets, there is no way I would change it. It's wonderfully exhausting everyday. When the babies are older we have to get them together!
