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.

Why HELLO there Mr. President

A few days ago President Obama arrived on the island. He likes to rent a house right off base in a town called Kailua. He does a lot of things around the island, but spends a lot of time on the base golfing and working out at the gym. We live near the golf course and when he comes to play they block off all the roads so that the motorcade can pass safely. Yeah, I know...we live on a military base, it should be considered safe, but apparently it's not.

 In any rate, we live on the main road that the motorcade travels down. A few days ago Braedan woke up early from his nap so Kevin and I took him outside to play until the others woke up. As we were out there the motorcade passed and Braedan waved and yelled "HELLO" at the cars. We didn't expect it at all, but Obama actually stuck his head out of the car window and waved back at Braedan! Everyone has their own opinions on the President, and I'm not going to go into that, but I will say that it's pretty neat that he did that and we can't wait to tell Big B about it when he is older.

So yesterday as the sun was setting on the last day of 2010, we took the kids outside to play. Once again the secret service and military police began setting up the cones to block the roads. We rushed to get the camera and made sure that we got a picture of the kids seeing their very first President!
