OUR AWESOME FRIENDS!!!

I'm pretty sure this is already common knowledge, but for those of you who do not know, our friends are pretty awesome! They have not only made an effort to meet our little guys, but they are genuinely interested in their unique beings. I wish I had pictures of all of our friends with at least one baby, but I don't. I'll try to be better about using my camera so all of our friends 'get credit' for their visits :-).
Look at Laura... she's not even a baby fan but she is so good to Liam, Aidan, and Connor (Liam in the picture).
Angela being cozy with Aidan. Not only did Sara come out after the boys were born to drop off their personalized blankets, but she met us at SLS. Here she is being a 'safety girl' by making sure they are fastened in properly. Also in the picture, her baby, Truman (front and center!) Auntie Angie is bonding with Liam. She is actually a "grandma in training", and is doing a phenomenal job! I don't think there is any way she could love our boys more than she does. Auntie Angie's daughter, Rachel, with her girlfriends and my boys. See, she gets the whole family involved in loving my boys.Speaking of Aunties AND involving their families, my dear friend Katelynn has been so good to our boys. She refuses to allow me to take pictures of her, which I guess is okay since I will ALWAYS remember how good she and her family (Grandma Rosemary, Dave, and Isabelle) have been to Craig, I and our boys. They are truly a Godsend.
Oh yay, I did get one picture of Auntie Katie the day she 'stole' Connor for the day. This 'stealing of babies' activity deserves a post of its own... coming soon!Isabelle making Aidan laugh. She is too cute with the boys.

Another friend, who I don't have a picture of, lives in NY. She and her family have not yet met the boys, but she has already been so involved in their little lives. Chris and her family sent a "welcome to the world" present that included little bears with embroidered scarfs (displayed in their nursery) along with embroidered hats.

Check out Connor modeling his new hat and preemie clothes! Kate came to visit us and brought the boys the most adorable little outfits. I don't have a picture of Kate with the boys, but following are the boys wearing their new outfits. I love the hats!!!

Khara came to meet the boys and also introduce her precious little Melina to us. We had such a nice visit, as she has been quite a mommy mentor to me. She also brought her mother and 2 year old son, Nicholas. I have to admit, though, that watching well-behaved Nicholas scared me a little bit. One 2 year old boy is exhausting... what am I gonna do?!?

I would say that Melina is a 'future' heartthrob, but notice how Connor, Liam, and Aidan are looking at her. I think it is safe to say that she is already attracting the boys!!! When Sanj and Amisha came to meet the boys, we had a treat as well... we got to meet their newest addition to the family, little Karina.

The newlyweds came to stay with us for the weekend (brave people!!!). They, too, were incredible with our boys. It was evident that our boys really enjoyed the visit, as they were happy the whole weekend. Toni is sharing her glasses with Aidan on the hot summer day. The P. family stopped by for a visit. It was especially interesting talking with Mike and Sandy, as they had twins just 7 weeks earlier than our triplets. We had a lot of fun exchanging stories. Cori Jo also came for a visit, but she is not pictured :-(. We'll do a better job next time!

Debi, our former part-time night nurse, came by so her quadruplets could meet our boys, and also so she could spend time with them awake! Debi has beautiful and very well behaved children. It was a fun afternoon! We miss Debi very much!!!

Sarah, a coworker who took over my role as Literacy Coordinator, has been such a great friend. I should have made a video of this rather than take a picture, as Sarah and Aidan are having a laughing contest. Honestly, I don't know who won, as they were both laughing beyond control. It was really cute to watch her interact with my sons the way she did.
