Year 4

We have triplets, all fraternal girls! Olivia Mae has wavy red hair and brown eyes, Louisa Paige has straight red hair and hazel eyes, and Willow Kate has curly red hair and brown eyes. We were a little surprised at the red hair, as both Van and I are blonde, but both our mothers are redheads, so we weren't totally surprised.
