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.

Moving on up.....

So as you all know, we are getting out of the Marine Corps due to Kevin's shoulder issues that they can't fix. They have told us to expect to be out of Hawaii by Christmas. What does that mean??? STRESS! We are trying to find a house, buy a house, pack out and move the trio in 3 months. INSANE! We are looking in Monroe and Livingston Counties for houses and have found several ones we like....but still - the stress is mounting. So forgive me if in the next weeks, months my blog starts sounding a little stressed. Soon this will be over and we will be out in the civilian world and working on a whole new journey!

    Sandi, my name is Jeanne. My husband is retired from the military - 10 years USMC, 13 years USCG. We have a 9 yr old son Sean in 4th grade and almost 7 yr old triplets - Maggie, Ryan & Ian - in 2nd grade. We live in Monroe County - Spencerport to be exact. FANTASTIC school district!! I believe you're working with my Aunt - Sue Lodico. I would love to stay in touch - especially when you get here! We have a fabulous group of families with triplets or more. The moms get together for dinner once a month and we do a family summer picnic. My email address is pudlpyrate@earthlink.net. Good luck with the move!!! Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
