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.

Quack Quack Meow?

Ahh another week has passed as we inch our way to the big 2nd birthday! I can't believe they are almost 2! They seem to be learning new things by the hour! Teagan is starting to string along sentences, Sean is starting to become more independent, and Braedan is becoming more of a helper! All of them are picking up new words daily! It's amazing and frightening at the same time.

We didn't really have a busy week this week, but we had a fun one. This Friday was the great Harvest Festival on base. Kids were encourages to wear costumes, but it was really hot. So instead of ruining our Wizard Of Oz costumes, we picked up some cute ones that were on super sale and headed over to the fun. I love, love, loved the costumes even though Kevin wasn't a fan of the boys wearing tights! LOL

The kids had fun running around, taking pics, seeing the horses and getting lots of candy. Halloween should be a blast!

Saturday was a lazy football day and the kids actually sat around and watched the Miami game with us. I think Kevin was super excited about his little fans since they started doing the hand signal for the U and yelling U when there was a touchdown.

Sunday we went to our favorite duck pond with our friends Josh and Kristina. We had a blast feeding the ducks, the fish and having a big picnic. We were there for a few hours until we were beyond exhausted. After a big nap, we were all back up and running wild.

As I said, it was a slow week, but that's good because this coming week is packed with us going to classes for getting out of the Marine Corps, daycare days, finishing the paperwork for selling our second car and Halloween!!! We hope to have a more exciting blog then!!!!
