Christmastime

All we need is snow and things would be just right for Christmas! Justin has more time off this year than he has in ages and the kids are all old enough to really get into all the fun stuff of the holiday season. I've been putting off blogging until I put the latest pictures up but that might have to wait until later. We have decorated the tree and made gingerbread houses and watched many a Christmas special. We've even opened a few gifts here ahead of time before we go away for a few days. We've done some baking and just enjoyed being at home with the Christmas tree lights on, hanging out. Caden had a small winter celebration just in the kindergarten classroom. It was cute to see him singing his songs and watching the dynamics with the kids in his class. I really like going to see him at school, where he spends so much of his time. So far, I look forward to parent teacher meeting and school concerts. I know that may change, but then again, it may not! I'm a

Life these days

Our boys have been 3 for over a month now and I am just amazed at how much my life has changed. Having triplet babies (and a 2 year old) is really really hard. Having triplet one year olds is also hard. Having triplet 2 year olds is simply a test in survival. That was definitely the toughest stage on both Justin and me. Some people have said that age 3 is as difficult (and you all know we all love our kids but admit it, little kids are a lot of work) as age 2. Well, that wasn't the news I wanted a year ago. So far though - that hasn't been the case for us. We are having SO MUCH FUN. It's nuts and chaotic. I'm not really expecting that to change. There are definitely challenges. I'm not expecting that to change either. What has changed is my attitude and my general feelings, day to day.

Young Canadians

The kids were outside the other day and I saw Liam get stuck in the snow in his little car. I waited to see if he was going to get out before I went and helped and then the highlight of my day occurred. Enjoy... Liam is stuck and a friendly Canadian (aka his brother Caden) happens by and immediately offers to help. And he naturally has a shovel with him :) He shovels and pushes... Shovels some more.. Trying pushing again This is not working. Oh, what luck, another friendly Canadian (Michael McMillan) spots the trouble and lends a hand (they probably didn't even talk first) Now some discussion Shoveling... Pushing (putting their weight into it) And he's out! Success... Thanks, have a good day and have a Tim's on me :) This was just the best. This will make me smile for days yet!
