Easter and Turning 3



Ethan
Everything green belongs to him.
He can out eat any grown up.
His bedtime story is the book "The other side of Heaven"
(we mostly just look at the pictures of the boats)

He loves his Dad.







Jackson
Everything blue is his.
He can out eat Ethan.
He has already kissed a girl.
He likes to talk to Grandpa on his phone.

He loves to dance.







Brinley
Everything belongs to her.
She loves chocolate, maple syrup and green salad.
She changes her shoes at least 10 times a day.

She is a princess.












I love love love Jackson's really long drool in this one! We had a picnic on the green after church on Easter Sunday. Snapped a few gems of these amazing kids we have. I couldn't post just one. It's fun to see them love each other.





Happy Birthday!!!









We were so lucky to have "gamma" Jensen come and spoil us for their 3rd birthday. 3rd birthday people, we made it to 3!!! I couldn't ask for 3 more crazy awesome miracles.

My Heartbreak

I don't normally check my profile in the mirror (it hasn't been awesome since carrying triplets) but for some reason a week ago I did. There it was. It wasn't the end of the day pudge, it was a baby bump. Plain as day. Brought a smile to my face.

Two days ago, early Friday morning, I lost my bump. My tiny baby boy was called back home and we are truly heartbroken. The news that he was coming was a welcome surprise for our family. The time of his passing has been painful.

"During our schooling in submissiveness we will see the visible crosses some carry, but other crosses will go unseen... Indeed if our souls had rings, as do trees, to measure the years of greatest personal growth, the wide rings would likely reflect the years of greatest moisture - but from tears, not rainfall."
