I wish I could have truly captured the atmosphere in the room at this moment, but it is impossible without sound. But it was incredible.

WOOOO HOOOOO!!!!

(Sorry I have to post this AGAIN, but until I can post my pictures from yesterday, this will have to suffice.)

The boys made quick friends with this family when we went to lunch. They were all eager to show her which DVDs they were carrying around, and she obligingly oohed and aahed over them.

Kiki and Uncle Mike seen here playing with the boys. The boys had so much fun with them before bedtime that they were just devastated to have to say goodnight. I’ll bet tomorrow morning is going to be cute when they see that their playmates are still here.

Help a Mama out…

Not me, but my friend Katie, who has twins, is participating in her local news stations’ Biggest Loser-type contest. I love Biggest Loser, so I’m really excited for her.

But she needs our votes! It’s really really easy to vote, no registering required. And you just need to vote once today and once tomorrow. 😀

Go here:

And vote for Katie under the “Determined Divas”. Voting ends tomorrow.

Thanks all!

And to think I was worried the boys would be shy around Aunt Kiki. In fact, we may have the opposite problem…

(Aunt Kiki = Kristina, my BFF who is in town for the Superbowl. Yay!)

Roughhousing with Daddy. I got this shot in right as Linus was kicking him in the face. Ha ha ha! Action shot!

(Don’t worry, no Daddies were seriously hurt in the taking of this photograph.)

Today you get a motion picture.

Oliver looks at Miles on the camera’s display, and then Miles looks at Oliver.

1 is easier than 3

With the very important caveat that you must have three in order to appreciate how much easier one is.

This weekend I took one kid to my mom’s for the weekend, while the other two spent time being spoiled mercilessly by Granny and Grandpa. As it happens, I took Miles with me. I plan to do this more often, and yes, next time Oliver or Linus will come, and then the time after that, whoever hasn’t been yet will come with me.

It was just so awesome. At the risk of sound unappreciative of my other two children, it was just so nice to be able to really focus on just Miles. I feel so often like I don’t know them well enough, as individuals. Is it because they’re identical? I don’t know, but I read so many triplet blogs where the mom or dad can easily reel off a list of differences between their triplets.

I mean, I know they’re different, but I have a hard time describing it, you know? It’s like when we had them evaluated for Early Intervention last year. They’d ask “is Miles pointing to objects?” and I’d confidently say “yes!” and then wonder to myself, “or was that Linus?” People will ask me “who’s the leader?” and “who talks the most” and things like that and I honestly have a hard time answering.

Hopefully these one-on-one weekends will help.

At least if someone asks me if Miles loves Teddy Grahams, I’ll be able to answer with confidence…

My mom enjoyed the one-on-one time too. But don’t worry, Linus and Oliver will get their share of Grandee storytime too…

[And can I just go on more about how fast it is to get one kid in and out of the car? And how nice it was to be driven around by my mom, who can fit one carseat into her car, but not three? And how it was great not to even have to bring a stroller with me? And how shopping was manageable? And bathtime? And mealtime? Okay, I’ll stop now.]

Linus is getting geared up for Mardi Gras. I don’t know where he even found those beads, they’re from their birthday party, but what can I say? I have little New Orleans boys!
