Mobility is a Wonderful Thing.

Here is a video of the triplets moving about. Jaxen and Gracie are walking and Joshua is still doing the army crawl. It is just so darn cute. Also, Jaxen gives a little wave out to everyone toward the end of the video. He now waves hi or says it while talking on the phone. He must have seen daddy on his cell phone one too many times.

Morgan and Rachel

Morgan is trying to be a good big sister and help take care of Rachel. She loves to have her picture taken when she is holding Rachel and always tells me to go and get the camera. Fortunately, Rachel is a good sport during these times and doesn't fuss too much.

Pumpkinfest in Zeeland, Michigan

Morgan was in the parade with her Preschool for Zeeland Michigan's Pumpkinfest. She loved riding on the float and sitting by her friends MaKenzie and Elissa. Aren't they cute?


Smile for the Camera. Morgan just loves the sunglasses they handed out for all the kids to wear.

Girls Girls Girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is Morgan and Gracie in their matching shirts. Boy can you tell they are related.


Here is Rachel with her binky. I am trying hard to get her to take one, but unless she's hungry she doesn't want anything to do with it.


Miss Gracie loves to help birp Rachel after she has eaten. I just think it is cute the way she pats her back and bum.

The Joy of Getting Around.

Say hello to Morgan. She is such a big girl now. She is going to preschool Mondays and Wednesdays and loves it. In fact, she will do anything you ask as long as she can go to school. We are also working on the potty training and she is doing pretty well, but continues to have a few accidents. I am not looking forward to doing this with three babies at once.

Here is Jaxen taking off. He is walking (almost running) everywhere now. It is so nice to have one that can follow you to bed or to the table and not have to be carried. Because now that he is upright he follows me everywhere and gets upset if he is left behind (especially by daddy).

Here is Joshua getting around using the army crawl. He is pretty fast, but gets frustrated when everyone out runs him. He really doesn't like it whent the other three take is toys and run. Poor Joshua.

Here is our drama queen Gracie. Isn't she cute with her pig tails? She now has enough hair to start puting up. She also gets into as much stuff as Jaxen or Morgan. What fun.

Here is a video of the triplets moving about. It is fun to see how they get around because they are all at different stages. Jaxen walks, Gracie crawls, but will take a few steps here and there, Joshua does the army crawl and is starting to pull up on things. We could do our own developmental video and now with Rachel we do have every stage.

A day in the life of Morgan MacPherson

What a life she has. She went apple picking with her dad, aunt, uncle, cousins and Jaxen. She loved it and brought home a bag of apples that she won't even eat. I guess I'll have to learn to make applesauce and feed it to the babies.

She also loves to drink her milk when the triplets do. For 10-15 minutes it is quiet around our house because they are all drinking. It is a nice time.

Rachel is home and fitting right in!

Rachel is finally home. Well, actually she has been home for a week now and is doing fine. She sleeps most of the day (about 20 hrs) and is just now getting her nights and days figured out. The babies are curious and don't like the fact that she takes up Mommy's lap, but they are fine with her as long as she stays mostly out of reach. Morgan loves baby Rachel and is always checking on her to make sure she is okay, and will let Mommy know if she is crying. She does not like to hear her cry, but she loves to hold and help feed her. All in all, the fifth one hasn't been too bad, but we will see how it goes when she is starting to move around.
