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.

Save the hineys!

We decided to save our hineys! Our furniture wont arrive until mid March, so we've been making due with out much here at the new house. We purchased toddler beds for the kids and got ourselves an air mattress for us to sleep on. For the living room we've been using a few patio chairs we found in the basement that the owners left (which are SUPER uncomfortable!) And for dining we've been using the world's smallest folding table. Yeah, high class!

Today was the end of being miserable though. Kevin went and bought a living room set. Our tortured hineys have been saved! Even better...the kids are acting better so this is AMAZING!

Kevin picked out a great set at a furniture store here and it looks really good in the new living room. He wanted to make it feel even cozier so we went to Home Depot and bought some paint! We've just started painting and love the color, but are having to take a break to figure out how we really are going to get these cathedral height walls painted without it looking like crud! Here are some pics to show ya the progress though!
