Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year everyone! 2013 sure was quite the year for us!  It was a year full of great challenges and tremendous joy,!  Michelle managed to carry 3 babies to 34 weeks and I managed to finish my doctorate finally.  Looking ahead, 2014 should be a super fun year full of lots of cute baby milestones. 

The babies got all dressed up for New Years Day in these adorable outfits the babies got from Cara (one of our favorite kiddos from Seattle) and her mom Jeanette.  Aren't they gorgeous?!  The kiddos weren't thrilled about this photo shoot as you can see but we sure enjoyed having them in these super soft and super cute outfits all day.

This year is starting off on a great note, with a visit from our good friend Carrie from Seattle. It is so wonderful to see Carrieand of course, to have her help with the babies!  Hopefully 2014 will bring many more visitors! As of right now we have my brother coming tonight through the 11th or so and Marty coming for two weeks from January 25th to February 8th but that's it for scheduled visitors.  So if you have time and want to come hang out with three cute babies and their moms please let us know and we'll get you on the calendar!  We have a guest room just waiting for visitors!  (we'll get down on our knees and beg if we have to!!

Here's hoping 2014 will also be a year of developing good healthy sleep habits!  Check out these funny t-shirts Carrie got us for Christmas!  Sooo true!!  We are particularly tired this week as we work to get the kiddos adjusted back to our normal routines and schedules.  Wishing you all a joy-filled 2014!!

Our wild & crazy New Years Eve!
