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.

April's gone with the wind........

A month? Really? It's been a month since the last post? Well, need to catch up!

We took a trip to the Windy City to visit my parents and my sister!!!
It was a long, but interesting car trip. We left around 4am and the kids slept until about 8am. We stopped for breakfast at Chick-fil-a and satisfied a craving we've had for 4 years (there isn't a Chick-fil-a in Hawaii!) After that we hit the road again and didn't stop again until we happened upon a Drive-thru Safari!

Arriving In Chicago
Once we got to Chicago, we had a blast. The kids loved the hotel room. Our room was at the corner of some busy streets downtown and the kids stood at the windows for hours watching the cars, buses and all of the people. My dad took Kevin to opening day at Wrigley and showed him all of the cool landmarks there. We explored Lincoln Park Zoo, The Bean, a Museum and Sear's Tower. It was an AMAZING time!
