Happy Birthday, Boys!

Today the triplets turn 15 years old!
In most ways, I can't believe it and then in
other ways it seems like we've had them
an eternity! They were born by c-section,
all within 90 seconds of each other....
all healthy, and only 3 weeks early!
18 total pounds of weight...yes, I looked
like a Mac truck! Although these 15 years
haven't turned out like we expected on the
day of their birth, we thank God for their
wonderful lives, for the lessons they have
taught us, and for holding our hands each
step of the way!
Dad got to hold them first...fresh from heaven!
Here, at two years old. ~~~~ I'll try to get some pics of them this evening with presents and cake to show you tomorrow. ~~~~ Happy, happy day Harrison, Spencer and Alexander! xxxooo

    elk ~ I did bake a big special cake. Would you believe they don't eat cake? But you have to have one for a birthday, right? They do like to blow out the candles!
