Surviving Life With Triplets: A day at the park

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.

A day at the park

So I blogged this morning thinking we were going to have a lazy day at home today, but I was wrong. We rode to Honolulu to drop off the title to the Escape at it's new owners home and Kevin surprised the kids and I with a day at the park. We went to a little park by the Hale Koa military hotel in Honolulu. It's such a nice little area and the kids had a blast running around chasing birds, climbing trees and playing in the dirt! Sean and kevin even played catch for the first time ever. I must admit, I got a little teary eyed! HAHA

On the way home, Kevin took the scenic route that I love! It's such a romantic drive. It was a beautiful day and the sky was so clear that you could even see Molokai, one of the neighboring islands! I hope you enjoy the pictures!

** I got an email the other day from someone asking my why I put so many pictures on my blog. There is a simple answer. We live in Hawaii and none of our family members are here. Basically, our families are watching the kids grow up through our Blog. Soon though we will be back on the mainland where they can get to know these amazing kids and watch them grow up in real life! Until then, there will be lots of pictures!**
