Patrick started kindergarten this year, and boy, he couldn't have been more excited. Every day from the beginning of June till the first day he walked in the door I heard "When am I starting school?" at least once. Patrick thought school supply shopping was the most fun a kid could ever have, and when he walked into his teacher's classroom for the first time he was on Cloud 9. When he came home that same day, he was so excited to tell me about his first day- how he learned how to write his name and say the alphabet and everything. He couldn't wait for the rest of the school year. Mike and I were both extremely happy that Patrick loved school so much.
Evan is 3 now and has started preschool. He's quieter than Patrick, but all the same he's a handful. He also really likes school and, from what I know, he's had no trouble making friends.
When Mike and I found out we were expecting triplets, we didn't know what to think. In a matter of minutes we would soon go from being the parents of two rambunctious boys, to three rambunctious boys and two little girls. However, we were overwhelmed with excitement. When we told Patrick that he would be getting three new brothers or sisters, he, again, couldn't wait. He was a huge help when Evan was born and he's been a huge help with Annie, Lily, and Sander. Evan didn't completely understand the concept of being a big brother at first, but once we explained it, he couldn't have been happier. When Anna Madison, Lily Cassandra, and Jeffrey Alexander finally came into the world, our lives were immediately turned upside down. None of the babies sleep through the night- Sander especially. Sander keeps the entire family up all night and sleeps through the day. Annie and Lily have adapted his sleeping pattern from him waking them up every night as well. But we couldn't love the triplets more. Patrick and Evan are huge helps. They both help feed the babies, play with them, and love holding them with our help. But both Patrick and Evan refuse to change diapers.
Our family has been doing wonderful and we can't wait for the excitement that comes in the future and growing more with our five beautiful children.
