As my kids approach two, I let out a huge sigh. The first two years with multiples are the hardest I hear. So far, I whole-heartedly agree. I know the terrible two’s and atrocious three’s are still to come but an era has obviously passed. The dozens of bottles lined up on the counter are a distant memory. Late night feedings seemed like eons ago and the oodles of attention we attract whenever we go anywhere is thankfully sizzling out. In other words, life seems so much more normal now than it did this time last year. I have the time and the mental stamina to really enjoy the present. And lately, I’ve captured some beautiful “everyday” moments to share.
Max is working summer hours so he is able to take off some Friday afternoons. We reserve these as our “family time” and either go the mall, our favorite Mexican restaurant, or stroll around downtown. Here we are strolling at the mall.
The kids love the mall. We often go before it opens during the week.

I bet that one of these pecious moments erases many moments of stress and chaos. These are darlngs little people and I love seeing them and getting to read about them on your blog. Thanks for keeping up the blog. Even your complaints are lovingly made. We are so proud of the triplets and of you and Max for the great job you are doing—you, especially!
