All is Quiet on the Western Front

It's 4 days till the actual due date for Jack, Nate and Gabrielle and they are doing great! We have been doing a lot of things (well, a lot for having triplets I'm told). We went to Duvall days last week, and I'm pretty sure people thought Kim's pushing the triple decker stroller was part of the parade. We've been to Ixtapa, and found that the Fiesta table suits are needs perfectly! We even had Ryan Oloughlin, to make it a set of quads, with us, and we ate in peace comfortably.

We went to my in-laws last Sunday to celebrate Sister Virginia's 96th birthday, so we took some pictures of the kids with both Virginia and Great Grandma Wilcox.

Kim has been working on since getting out of the hospital, which is great, since now when we say "Baby needs a new pair of shoes" we mean it times 3. Since I'm off on paternity leave, it gives her a good chance to get her work done, and let us have a semi-normal social life :)

Our scheduling system seems to be working terrific (knock on wood) as neither Kim and I are ever feeling super tired, and a small nap here and there helps refresh us. The only thing that could be better is if Kim and I could actually spend some time together, as currently we are ships passing in the night.

Picture Day!

We had the great fortune of one of our friends and neighbors, Lynn Lehto, who is a very accomplished photographer, come up to our house for a photo shoot for the triplets. None of these pictures are from picture day... but it's the latest I have ;)


Kim bathed the trio this morning and did a great job with them all, while I got Sophia and myself ready.




Lynn showed up at 10:30 and we figured out where the best lighting would be for natual light. We started the photo shoot off with some family pictures, then lined the triplets up on a bean bag for some pictures still in their clothes. They were all awake, and all doing great at this point.





We next removed all their clothes and diapers for some of the au-natural pictures. The babies all threw a fit, as they are not super excited about being naked (hopefully they keep this trait through college).





Lynn is used to working with sleeping babies (Ryan O - fits the bill) but she worked through the nuances of trying to get three tired babies all to not cry at the same time. We did some binky manipulation, a bit of holding, and what not to get them okay for the pictures, but of course that came with a couple times of Kim and I getting pee-ed on... but oh well.





Lynn was great, and I'm sure the pictures will be great. Jack, Nate and Gabbi were not in their best form, but then again... they are only a month old.
