Welcome To Our Crazy Life

We are the Colls and this is about our life with our triplets. My name is Sandi and my husband's name is Kevin. We got married on Feb. 7, 2004 and instantly started trying to have a baby. 5 years, many tears and loads of help later we found out we were having not one, not two, but three babies!

Braedan, Teagan and Sean bounced into our lives on Nov. 12, 2008 and everything has been turned upside down, flipped sideways and scattered about since then. I’m not going to sugar coat it....it wasn’t easy in the beginning. The NICU, late nights, screaming babies, being thousands of miles from our families because we were stationed in Hawaii, exhaustion and then Kevin deploying to Afghanistan for 6 months the day the kids turned 6 months old......not fun.

But now they are getting older and Kevin has been medically separated from the Marine Corps and we've moved to NY to be closer to family. It's great to finally have family around...... especially now that we've hit the TERRIBLE TWOS triple time!

Even though we are close to family now, we are still learning to survive life with triplets.

Beach Babies


Yesterday we took the babies to their favorite beach, Bellows. It's just up the road from our base and it's got this really nice lagoon for the babies to play in. It's been a few weeks since we had been there so the kids were really excited. After unloading them we saw something we'd never seen before - Sean walking on the beach without any help. I know he's been walking for a few days now, but there was just something about seeing all three of my babies playing and walking and having so much fun that made me actually cry. I can't believe how far they have come, especially Sean.

So we played in the sand with the buckets and shovels, Teagan did her version of swimming (laying on her belly and kicking her legs up) and Sean just enjoyed roaming around wherever he wanted to go. All 3 rode in the raft down natures "Lazy River" and drew in the sand with sticks they found. It was a great day!

Oh, and the babies got their first pair of flip flops! T and B loved them so much that they refused to take them off even in the water.
