Zoo

We went to the Beardsly Zoo and it was sooooo much fun! We saw wolves, bears, a tiger, fish, monkeys and even another set of triplets! Can you believe that?!?! Well - we had a great time. After looking through all the pics we realize that we don't have any of daddy...that's cuz he was holding the camera. We'll see if Lucy or Uncle Joey has some with daddy...he really did come with us!

Love,

Animals

That's what we must be. At least that's how people seem to think we should be treated right? Mommy & daddy take us everywhere. And why shouldn't they? We're a FAMILY. We travel as such. We may not travel 'light' but we travel none the same. We were at the grocery store last weekend - 5 (yes...that's F I V E) people commented and/or asked about taking a picture of us. At one point mommy had it...she doesn't usually lose her patience with people in public when it comes to us. We're cute. And we know it. And mommy knows it. But sometimes (and we quote) she just "wants to get some damn milk people!" We don't mind the 'cute' comments or the small chit chat every now and then. But pictures? C'mon people! If you were in a store with your child and a random stranger came up and asked to take a picture - what would you say? We went to Mystic Aquarium last weekend and today - we went to the zoo (we'll post another post with pics of that later...when we're not venting for mommy). And these types of outings are fairly new to all of us. Mommy still hasn't gotten use to people thinking she's a traveling circus act. We don't help with the fact that we now wave and smile at just about everyone walking by. Mommy has a high tolerance for the comments...but we should warn you that if you even think about touching us - you may lose a hand and/or an entire limb. Mommy says it's the choo choo wagon that seems to give the green light to open up the question forum. We love love love our wagon so she better not even think about ditching it. She's probably right though. The wagon seems to draw an unusual crowd. Including those who think it's another ride if our butts aren't planted in the seats. (Yup...one little kids actually tried hopping in today when daddy was holding one us). Brings a whole new meaning to 'move your feet, lose your seat!' Eh...that's our gripe for the day. We had fun at the zoo. Uncle Joey came...duh. We'll post pics and commentary on that tomorrow. We need to catch some zzzzz's so we can be on our best behavior for a picnic at Kelly's!
Love,
Us

Mystic Aquarium

Sorry for the delayed post on this but time flies when you're learning how to walk! Emily & Hannah are walking (and Hailey doesn't like to be left behind so she insists on holding someones hand while 'walking' herself). We had a blast at Mystic Aquarium. Emily actually touched a sting ray! (minus the stinger of course!). They were putting their hands in the pool and the sting ray actually swam right up to Emily's hand. I was a bad mommy that day too. I have no idea where my head was...I guess I was just so excited to go to the aquarium myself that I couldn't get things together. 1st...we forgot the camera (no worries...Kristin had hers). Then...I realized we didn't have the girls sun hats. Only to then find out I also forgot the sunblock! What the hell kind of mommy am I?!?! Eh...we have fun. Uncle Joey & Kristin bought sunblock (and a book and a toy and........). Lucy, Alex & Brianna came with us too. What an adventure. I love it. I absolutely love bringing my girls places and watching their faces when they see something new or something exciting. Oh - and to top off the 'bad mommy' day - I forgot to even close the front door on our way out of the house. We came home and the door was wide open - once again Uncle Joey to the rescue. He ran in, ran out and said "TV is still on the wall!!! No one broke in!" Haha...what a day. We all enjoyed ourselves and we can't wait to go back. Our next trip (maybe this weekend?) is going to be to the zoo......

Videos!!!

Check 'em out...you'll see who's walking...who's throwing tantrums and who's fighting!!!!
We'll get pics and a post up about our trip to Mystic Aquarium as soon as we get the pics from Kristin...we forgot our camera. Enjoy the videos.........

Mommy's Mad

Usually mommy is very kind to people when they

15 Months!

Today we are 15 months old and we sure do need to celebrate! We're not putting up stats of weights or heights or anything else like that (we're not even going to the doctor until next month...God willing - knock on wood). Why do we need to celebrate? Well - other than the obvious reasons...it's because WE HAVE A WALKER! Which one of us is walking? Ah...as soon as we can get the video up (after we go to the aquarium) you'll be able to find out!!!!!!!
Love ya lots!!!!

We're here

It's hard to put up stuff on the blog when we're so busy. We've been working really really really hard on walking. We can stand up on our own it's just so scary to move our feet. We usually just fall forward and hope someone catches us (then laugh our little butts off). Mommy put shorts on us today cuz it's gonna be 90 degrees outside. We didn't know what to do cuz we're not use to wearing shorts. When mommy put us on the floor we ALL looked down at our legs and then back at mommy. We were trying to communicate "what is this all about?" but she didn't seem to understand us. We rubbed our legs a bit and moved on. Looks like we'll be trying to walk a bit more today so we don't have to crawl around on our bare little knees. Oh...and tomorrow we're going to Mystic Aquarium. Mommy says there are dolphins and penguins and a whole bunch of animals that we read about in our books. How exciting to see these things for real huh? We'll be sure to update you on this little expedition!
Love,
Hannah, Hailey & Emily
