We're TWO.... now what?!?

We've had so much great advice, comfort, and support raising our babies- it brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it! We are so blessed and have seen so many miracles- The Lord has been very generous with us and filled our lives with Angels! I remember seeing my good doctor- Dr. Kroska (who has his own, now teenager triplets) and he just kept telling me- "Just make it til their two and it will instantly get easier" Well, we are here.... we made it to age two- now what? The full blown "terrific two's" hit us hard today in church- SCORE: Triplets 1, Parents ZERO!

We did have a little party to celebrate all of our milestones! I felt like I should have been given a gold medal or something! We had a blast with our little circle of friends and family! We tried to get Papa Mitchell to stay a little longer.... but the dragon tail (google it- it's some motorcyclist dream ride) was calling his name!

I had a friend call the night before and came over to spend a low key evening with us. Melissa and I worked late into the night working on cakes- she finally said "Ginger put the spatula down and walk away" So she crashed on the couch and I went to bed. It was such a huge blessing to have her there. The next morning we went to party city in Elk River. She decorated the house for the babies- and I finished the cakes! I don't know what I would have done without her!!! I would have called Heather, Tayna, Marla, or Rindee- begging!!! Did I mention Marla- awesome Marla- came all the way from Vermont- just for the babies birthday bash! :) Well, she did mention something about the Hogan family too... but it's more fun to pretend it was just for us!





















Heather has been a second mother to my babies! I'm speechless trying to come up with the proper words to describe her. She loves my babies and they love her. She is so tender, gentle, comforting. She just 'knows' what to do for children. She (Parker) gave the babies wonderful birthday gifts- but she totally rocked Grace's world! It turns out Bongo is a Momma now- and Bongo now has twin baby Bongos! And Grace is in Bongo HEAVEN! Today Jade was taking them for a run in the stroller. I had to beg Grace to let Mommy babysit the twins while Mommy Bongo went on a walk with Grace!!! Just a side note- Joel's gift said: To Joel From Parker, Grace's gift said: To Grace From Parker and ELLA'S GIFT said: To Ella (HEART) Parker!!!!







Mama Weaver from Texas mailed these outfits to the kids! Joel has been wearing his nice suit since Easter. I made the girls Easter dresses so I thought I'd save these BEAUTIFUL GOWNS for another special occasion- They were PERFECT BIRTHDAY DRESSES!
