With a little help from my friends...

And family, and neighbors, and the internet. The list goes on and on.  The ONLY way we've been getting by is with the amazing help from our support group. It absolutely takes an army to get through the days and nights without a melt down (from adults and children), Cal and I are eternally grateful for all the help we've received.  In the past week alone, we've gotten help from no less than 10 family members. We could not pull off this endeavor without your support. We have a system and routine but it is only in place because of your support.
With Cal traveling out of the country for work, we were left short one pair of hands. As much as it hurts to admit it, I cannot manage the triplets alone. So, we packed up the car and screamed our little heads off for the three hour trip to East Liverpool.  It was a true test of my endurance and patience, and I'm happy to report only mild chest pains with an accompanying migraine. Nothing a little Cabernet can't fix. The one constant truth about my hometown of East Liverpool, is that's it's people are wonderful. When we pulled in the driveway (the kiddos fell asleep once we turned on to our street by the way) we were greeted by my parents' neighbors who not only gave the kids the snuggles they so badly needed but completely unpacked my overflowing car and helped get us settled in.  It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood indeed.  Again, thank you to everyone who has put their lives on pause to help us keep going. 

Now, on to baby updates!  
The trio have begun hitting major milestones recently.  All three are interested in touching and holding their bottles, it melts my heart to see their tiny little hands cupping the sides of the giant bottle.  Dylan has started to chat a little more and loves to hear and see people say "Oh".  The sound and the way our mouths look when we say it is so interesting to him.  He tries to mimic it and laughes his cute little head off.  Hudson has completed an entire roll over from back to belly.  At least we think he has.  He was put to bed swaddled and on his back, and was found in the morning on his belly! I've watched him make it on to his side, but have yet to witness the full rotation- I think he has performance anxiety.  Sloane is talking in full sentences, complete with inflection and expression.  It's complete gibberish, but it sounds so good!  She has found her hands and likes to rub her own head to calm down.  Finally, and most importantly-- WE HAVE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!! There have been a total of three nights in the past two weeks in which the kiddos have slept through the night.  These rare occurances always happen after bath night and an early (8pm ish) bottle and bed time.  Last night we slept for 8 straight hours.  This is precisely how I feel today:

Thanks for the rest you big 15 week olds! 

Hudson enjoys the Bumbo chair so much!

Contemplative Dylan, just trying to figure things out. 

Sloane likes to sit on your lap and chat.
