Triplets

So the triplets turned 7 in March. They are really starting to grow up. Moving into 2nd grade.

Whenever we reach mile stones I think back to the days of not knowing what would happen.
-S coded 14 times in 1 month
-Mo coded 12 times in 1 month
-E coded 3 times a day for over a week [i lost count of his monthly count].

then there is always the other factoids...
-E came home at 2lbs 13oz, not holding any food down, but perfectly healthy other then that.
[he is now our biggest / strongest kid]
-Mo could not move her self until she was almost 5 months
[at one point we were told she was paralyzed]
[she now is my wild money woman, i found her about 20 foot up a tree this morning]
-S had seizures on an almost daily basis until 2 months old
[he now is my "big thinker", he will plot out and plans just about anything before doing]

Now they all read short chapter books, they are super duper helpers at home, and they can all swim 4 laps of a regular pool freestyle. Looking back at NICU pictures I am still shocked that they are here, this big and strong, and able.
