I get by with a little help from my friends.....

While Jim is out having fun in Cali, I'm here running the show, working my butt off at home :) Okay, so he's on business, but tonight he went on some harbor tour boat ride thing, then to the aquarium for a dinner reception. Tomorrow after his conference ends, he is driving to San Diego to see the Cardinals beat the Padres. Sounds kind of fun to me anyway---hopefully he is enjoying himself because the tables will be turned in a few weeks when I go to Tunica! Yeah!!! Can't wait. But, Jim, if you are reading, we really do miss you and can't wait for you to get home!!! And we love you too! Okay, enough sap ;)

Between Jim's mom and my mom this week, we have the childcare covered. I'm glad that all worked out. Tonight I 'let' Lynn and my mom go to the casino...they've been there a while, so maybe they are winning big ;) I think Lynn needed to get out since I made her go with me to the hospital today so the babies can get their skull x-rays for their helmet/cranio something appt. It takes a long time to actually get out of the house and takes a lot of energy, but we did it! My friend Danielle came over with dinner tonight for us and helped feed/put babies to sleep. She also brought her two kids. Her son is just a month younger than the triplets and her little girl is 2 years older than Alli, so they played together pretty good (most of the night). Alli is still a little territorial with her toys, etc. Thanks Danielle!

Jimmy, Owen, Cassie, Jenna. I think Jenna might have been a little jealous of Cassie and Owen holding hands :) Its so hard to get all of them smiling at once!
My little fat man! He smiles/laughs so much and its so contagious!

It is contagious, I am laughing now! All the kids are so adorable, I love logging on and seeing that you have updated - I am sure it is a challenge to find time to do it with all the things that need to be done, but we reallly appreciate you keeping your priorities straight!!! ;)

Hang in there. Your time will come. Wish I could help out but last night I was puppysitting for a bad little dog. I'm not sure if Josh and Kelly will have me back because Argyle peed on her pillow last night on my watch. So, you may be better off without my help! :)

The pictures are very cute. Poor Jenna, is this how is going to be, Cassie getting the boys first. Jimmia and Owen seemed pretty content. Soon we will have 2 more to add to that picture. I just realized, if I deliver before July 31,your 3, my 2, Owen, Sully, and Cory will all be in the same grade.

Our kids are so cute. I really don't know how you do it everyday. I was so tired and I didn't do that much and I was only there for a couple of hours. You are such an amazing women.

Danielle is right. You are an amazing woman. I guess you take after your mother.

You have a great group of friends. (and families). It's wonderful how they take care of the Alli and the babies so that you and Jim can get out. I liked seeing that they play with Alli (dress up) and the spit up pictures. The only thing missing is a poopy diaper.

Owen fits right in. He is such a cute baby. I love the picture of Jimmy. He is always laughing.

Love Mom

Looks like fun family times! I hope you enjoy yourself and put your baby worries aside for a little bit while in Tunica...jealous:)I soooo have to come see the babies again. As I recall you don't work on Thurs so, I'll be giving you a call in the next couple weeks when the monkeys start Mom's Day Out program.

Oh I can also give you a memory foam plagiocephaly/reflux wedge sleep thing for little Ms.Reflux.
