The Adoption Chronicles

They may have looked funny but they SURE tasted good! Kid approved-you can see it on her face! Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

We're happy to be alive and healthy! I am so thankful for my beautiful family and to God for his protection over us. We had a close scare yesterday with a fire at our house. We're all doing fine and our house is fine, only minor damages to the outside property and some things (like brick on the side of the house water hose, gutter, sprinklers ect). It was really scary though and totally unexpected of course! The timing was perfect because Clint had come home early, noticed smoke then saw fire. I was in the back of the house with all three babies and had no idea our house was burning from the outside in! We were so fortunate for that our neighbor's contractor was outside. I screamed (after running out carrying all three kids-you do what you've got to do!) For help and for him to RUN in a hurry. Clint grabbed the fire extinguisher and the emergency crews were there afterward. It was caused by an outside electrical wiring box on the side of our house. The ground had settle...

And can you believe they're 14 months old! Also it's Clint's birthday today! Happy Birthday Daddy! Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T I hate going to walmart BUT its the best place to go in this small town for the cheapest diapers (besides CVS sometimes). I was super excited to see a mom and dad pushing this cart to their car only two cars down from ours. I even waited for them to load all their groceries and baby then asked to use the cart if they were finished. What a lifesaver! I was wondering how I'd pull off pushing a stroller and pulling a cart. I know a lot of other moms do it but I don't think I'm in that talent bracket just yet! Good for you super moms out there! In the meantime I'll use the store carts! PLUS its so much easier to not have to put together my triplet stroller and take it apart in the heat. I guess walmart isn't so bad after all.

Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T Sweet! This was a test to see if my phone could upload straight to our blog and it worked! I know, I'm slow and finally got it to work thanks to Laura, but at least now I can upload pics! That means more pics and updates from me! Don't get too excited ;)

Laura, Brad and Makenna came to visit us ALL the way from Milwaukee! We had such a fun trip hanging out, being lazy, catching up on all our chit-chat, visiting the local "beach" on Lake Greenwood, visiting Greenville for the day, exploring and getting lost in Greenwood and lots of time at the pool! Here are a few photos. Also go to Laura's blog http://snowflakebabygirl.blogspot.com/ aka "the "best" is here, for more photos and videos!

I found this in the paper yesterday! This is our Quincy(zilla)! He loves to destroy, I always call him my dinosarur because he "growls" like one and he eats shoes! How appropriate that someone we don't know wrote a comic about our son! LOL! This cracks me up!

Waving bye-bye to daddy on his first day of work. Ellie is escaping up the stairs! Dada on his first day of work (Aug. 1)! We're so proud of you Clint/Daddy and we'll miss you! We've loved having you home for the last month! Our hippo kiddy pool and slide Outside in the backyard In the girls room playing

Goodmornin'! Its been just over a month, we're way behind on our blog but I'll have to admit we've been a *little* busy the last month or two! We had an early birthday party for the babies in Milwaukee on June 12, Clint's graduation on June 15, packers came on the 16th, movers on the 17th and we closed on our Milwaukee house on June 18th. Clint's parents, Chip and Karen were here for that busy week and ended up taking Adelyn, Ellie and Quincy home to Kentucky with them on the day the packers arrived. It was really helpful-HOW and WHERE would they have played and napped? Thanks Chip and Karen! That weekend I drove to Kentucky to be with everyone, except Clint who had to stay in Milwaukee to finish his residency program (radiation oncology). He joined us about a week or so later and it was FINALLY nice to be sort of settled together. We stayed at his parents house for a couple of weeks and waited for our furniture and belongings to arrive at our new home i...
