Holy cow! 1500th post!
Dang. I just happened to notice that I have posted 1499 posts on this blog. Not bad, eh? The first post was on April 1, 2002, so I’ve been keeping this blog for over 8 years now! (Actually, if I’m going to be 100% honest, I don’t think that was my very first post. But kind of. I kept a blog before that, while I was training for the London Marathon, but it wasn’t in a real blog, so those posts never transferred over. I should find them and post them. But that’s off the subject. This is my 1500th official blog post.
Woo!
Back when I wrote that post, I was 27 years old. Single. Smoked a pack a day. Overweight.
Now I’m married with three kids. Haven’t smoked in over 6 years. Still overweight, but mostly because of the married-with-three-kids thing I mentioned earlier.
Since we’re on a nostalgia kick here, let’s look at some old pictures…
Seven years ago. Look, it’s my boyfriend, George!
And my NEW car!
Five years ago, it’s my most favorite picture of me ever!
Four years ago, we had “prom” at the pub:
Three years ago, I got knocked up, times three:
Two years ago, I had (almost) six month olds!
One year ago…holy crap, look how tiny they were!
Well, that was a fun trip down memory lane!
Here’s to 1500 more posts!

What you can’t tell from this not-so-great cellphone picture is that just a few seconds before, Linus was holding Oliver’s hand, which nearly caused me to spontaneously combust from all the cute.
New favorite book
The boys have a new favorite book.
It’s a picture book I put together of their baby pictures up to six months old. I don’t know if they realize they’re the babies in the pictures or not. But maybe they do. If I ask where someone is, they’ll generally point to the right baby. It’s kind of weird. (Heck, in some of the pictures, even I don’t know who is who!)
Guess it’s time to start on the 6 – 12 month book. Yeah. Or 6 – 30 month. Hmm.

More pictures
I’ve been having a lot of fun taking pictures of the boys lately. Here, lemme share…
Oliver’s my little bookworm:
Linus also has a green thumb, apparently:
Miles blows bubbles!
and pouts:
All four of my boys:
Now this isn’t a picture I took, but it’s one of my favorite pictures ever. Ever, ever, ever. This is from my niece Emily’s birthday party. She turned three on Sunday.
Oh, the drama!

My little green-thumbed boy
I planted some herbs and flowers in pots and put them by the back door so I wouldn’t forget to water them. Now the boys love checking out the plants and watering them whenever we go outside. (Poor plants are probably going to drown.)
I think Miles might end up following Uncle Evan and Aunt Jennifer into Landscape Architecture. He’s the hardest to pull away from them…

Sunny weekend
We had a nice weekend ’round these parts. It was a bit hot and humid, but we stayed busy and the boys stayed healthy. Can’t ask for much more than that!
Friday night, I went to a party for our local triplet mom’s group. That was fun. Mmmm, party food. I really tried to restrain myself, and I did okay. Until the petit fours were brought out. Eeeevil! But worth it.
On Saturday, we hit the aquarium with Granny and Grandpa. Took the ferry over..
Then looked at some fishies…
And played and played and played. No pictures of that part, I was too busy chasing Miles, who kept running from tank to tank, saying “I like-a dat fish! I like-a dat fish!”
After the aquarium, we had pizza for dinner and played outside some more.
They even played with our friend’s dog. (Side note…the boys are generally terrified of dogs, just as I was when I was little. Can I tell you how much it annoys me when people tell my two year olds “oh, doggy’s not going to hurt you! It’s okay!” I mean, geez. The kids are screaming in terror…I’m trying to keep my kids out of the same room as your dog, so can you try to keep your dog out of the room with my kids? Grrr.) They’re fine if they can approach the dog first.
On Sunday, we had a birthday party to go to. The boys played in their first bouncy castle/space walk/moon walk, whatever you call it. I was so proud of them! They’re normally a bit scared of these kinds of things.
And there was cake! So cute!
Afterwards, the boys needed a bath, bad.
They sat in the tub! This is huge. They haven’t sat down in the tub for about a year. I hope it continues, it sure makes bath time easier.
So that was our weekend. Fun!
