Soaring Through September and October


September was pretty much consumed with an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime, trip with my family to NORWAY!!! It had been on my dad's bucket list to visit the location that his ancestors emigrated from. What a special treat when he called last spring and offered to take his daughters and their husbands along! The trip was truly amazing! At every turn the scenery looked like a postcard and the time spent with family was priceless. Thanks, dad, for the memories and for your extreme generosity to us!


While September was Spectacular,
October was somewhat Ordinary.

My little people are sometimes OVERWHELMING.
Like this chipped-tooth little boy who decided to play in the soot from the grill.
Or to color about 25 square feet of my bedroom wall in markers.
Or to flush four toothbrushes and a contact case down the toilet.
Or to spray two cans of no-stick spray inside my kitchen cabinets.
Or to dump my make-up bag in the bathtub.
THIS IS ALL THE SAME CHILD, PEOPLE!!!




They are sometimes OBLIGING.
Always excited to "help" with cooking and laundry.



Sometimes OPINIONATED.
("Can you just smile for one picture with mommy?")




Sometimes OBEDIENT.
("Take your stools over to the table and eat your lunch." Maybe I should have clarified a bit more.)


Sometimes ONE.
(I LOVE having a little girl to coordinate with!)


Sometimes ONE, TWO, AND THREE
Halloween festivities brought much fun and MUCH candy!





Sometimes ORIGINAL.
Keira has now graduated to her very own big girl bedroom. Despite the pile of books I placed in her nightstand, this one has proven to be her favorite.



Sometimes ORAL. 😀
Triplets first dentist visit!




So, those were my OBSERVATIONS.
From the OVERWHELMING to the ORDINARY
I trust it is very OBVIOUS
that these little people are very LOVED.
