Surviving Life With Triplets: Moving out and on

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 out and on

After having all of our belongings packed up, we moved in with our friend Kristina and Josh for a few days. They were kind enough to even let Bailey hangout with them until her flight to NY! Josh and Kristina had just moved into their new home on base and rushed to get it ready for us - we can never thank them enough for their generosity.

We tried to leave Hawaii on January 12th, but the plane couldn't take off due to the cabin filling with smoke. After the pilot made us all get off, we headed back to Josh and Kristina's for one more night. Again, another group of friends helped us out, the Matos', by shuttling us to the airport not once, but twice! Thanks guys!

During our last few days before we finally said goodbye to Hawaii, our friends made sure we were entertained. The Matos family threw us a going away/ my bday party and the Norcross family had a cookout as well as a Dance Central party (LOVE DANCE CENTRAL!)
