Updated family photo




We'd like to have a nice family photo and at some point maybe that will happen. Griffin is sleeping and Julia is watching the TV we forgot to turn off. This is only the second picture ever of all five -- six, Finn partially made the shot -- of us. We don't shower regularly so there aren't many opportunities! As you can see, they never come out too well anyway. Getting three infants to smile on cue is not realistic. We'll just keep trying. I think we took another one on Easter, so I'll post that one once I grab it from my Mom's camera. But enough about that.... drum roll, please.... Julia now has two teeth. She's also starting to try to crawl. Honestly, she's a complete wild woman and so funny to watch. She's flipping over whenever she feels like it and getting herself stuck more than she'd like. We find her all over her crib. Braddock isn't interested in rolling over at all. He'll do it if forced but he's very content to grab things and kick and wiggle without rolling. He laughs all the time, so I'm guessing he is telling some really great jokes we just don't understand yet. Griffin does some kind of commando-type shimmy from his back that gets him across the floor in no time. In the past week or so, he's becoming a bit of a wild man, too. He wants to talk and scream and just loves to move. Last weekend he and Braddock had a full conversation for close to ten minutes. They were holding hands, smiling and babbling to their hearts' content. It was so cute; it made me cry. Braddock's feet are also looking just perfect which thrills us. The little adventures we've had recently have been fun, too. We went to Home Depot and the woman who was helping us was also a mother of triplet boys (2 1/2 years old). They were also born in Morristown and will be at the NICU alumni picnic. We can't wait to go to that next September.
Today is our 2nd anniversary. So much has happened to Bill and I that it seems hard to believe it's only been two years. How lucky I am to have been so blessed with such a great partner in this journey.

Great photo, Nic. Poor Finn kind of missed the shot, huh?
The kids look great. Looks like Julia is in a hurry to get somewhere. Now you just have to figure out where.
