Items of note (potentially)

I am going to bust out the big guns and give you all a rundown of the wild and wacky happenings in our household. Not the same lass ass crap that I am always throwing your way, but the real hard hitting, taste of bile in your mouth, world changing news I have disposable at my fingertips.

I hope I have now sucked you all in.

And no... I am not PG so don't even go there. Who needs BC when you have a three year old, and nearly one year old triplets?

Actually this really is more of the same old crap. I have a bunch of things I keep meaning to post and never get around to so this will likely be a jumble.

Item of note #1:

If you ask Quinn what his favorite TV show is he, will tell you very animatedly, "Ninja Warrior"!

What parent could be prouder than Eddy and I? Are any of you familiar with this particular form of Japanese game show? サスケ, Sasuke (or Ninja Warrior for those of us in the US) is a Japanese program which consists of a competition in which 100 competitors attempt to complete four obstacle course stages. The obstacles are fairly nuts and many times end with the competitors falling into mucky water. Oh those crazy Japanese! It isn't violent so I don't really mind letting him watch it occasionally, but he is SOOO into it. They had one of the "Women of Ninja Warrior" episodes on recently and Quinn is fixated on the ladies trying to make their way through the course. He keeps shouting, "you go girl!", and "you can do it!". He has even started playing his own make believe version of "Ninja Warrior" at home. Apparently the ottoman, big chair, and sleeping bag on the floor make for an ideal pretend course in case you too wish to play at home. See, aren't you riveted already?


Item of note #2:

Noel is a crazy man and he has what I have so PC-ed-ly dubbed, "Pimp Teeth". I am not kidding... I think you could drive a Cadillac between the space in his top two teeth. I am trying to get a picture of them but they remain elusive on film. Quinn has a space between his upper teeth as well (which should prove beneficial once the big people teeth come in) but Noel's is at least double Quinn's space. I love it and it totally fits his wild guy persona.

Item of note #3:

Mairin has this strange habit of anti-crawling on her back. We have captured it in pics and it looks like she is levitating.

I will update this later as it it now late and the momma is tired...

Holi-daze

Dude, this Christmas deal is the best thing ever! Can you tell that I got excited opening my gifts this year (even if mommy did almost have to call Santa several times because I wasn't listening to her)?

Can't believe

That these babies have been out of my body for nearly an entire year


Disclaimer:
* Not the most flattering shot of me (but few are really) and feel free to excuse the shot of my brother-in-law's ass in the background.

L to R we have Noel, Mairin, and Ewan

Here we are in our special feeding table (yes, a special order item):



They will be 1 on January 25th, though somehow in my mind I still have until their due date of April 10th. It makes me a little sad that we are hitting this mark.

I have a lot of other holiday-esque photos to post later. I am so happy that our Mac is fixed and more so that we were covered and didn't have to pay $700 some dollars. Yikes!

Grammy winning performance?

Here is Quinn's first violin recital. We got stuck in the back so it was hard for Eddy to get very close but I think you get the gist. I love my boy's face full of pride upon completion. You can also hear Mairin squawking right toward the end as I steer Quinn toward both grandmas and I walk back toward Eddy.

Serious prayer request PLEASE

for one of my former bridesmaids and dear friend from Chicago. Gita gave birth to a baby girl (let's call her cinnamon) via emergency c-section yesterday at 27 weeks. Things are as critical as they come and she could use all the prayers that others have to offer. Baby cinnamon's heart isn't fully functional and she has a few other major obstacles as well.

Please tell everyone you know to keep this family in your prayers and tell them to tell everyone they know. My friend has already lost stillborn twins and miscarried and I can't bear to think of her losing another baby. I would give anything to take this situation away from her. She is such a good person and I am really struggling with why this is happening to her and her husband who are currently the amazing parents of 3.5 year old twins. Please help them through this impossibly difficult time.
