We continue to get incredible support from friends and family, and we have (repeatedly) been pleasantly surprised with gifts and donations. Our family is humbled by the outporing of generosity and love. We know we'll have no problem raising these girls to value kindness, friendship and generosity.
The weather in Alexandria has been great and Spring is already well underway. We've been enjoying taking the girls for more and more walks. On Easter we got to enjoy a long visit to the park where the girls could show off their Easter outfits. Too cute. Of note, now that tourism season is back to full-swing we find ourselves becoming part of the spectacle. People love to see triplets. We're going to find a way to capitalize on that yet!
On an unrelated note, Katie and I had some time to ourselves on Saturday and we found a great little antique & art store. Every place we live we try to find some unique art to commemorate our time there. In this case, we found three pieces that we decided we couldn't afford to miss. One is by a local artist, two are from France, and its best to not think about how much we spent. We've added those pictures below too.
Three generations all together. Thank you grandma Mary, you'll be missed.
Easter dresses at the park. Lots of spectators
And why wouldn't people want to stop and stare at such cuties!
In addition to complementing our little angels, lots of people can't believe that Katie is the mother of triplets. Her shirt (a gift) says "I make three people at a time. What's your superpower?"
Love to hear those birds sing.
IMO, Keller and Hollister are both beginning to really look more like identicals now that Keller is filling out and Hollister is getting a little longer. Holly is probably about 10.5 lbs, and Keller is around 9 (same as Quin), but they're getting a little more proportional.
IDE story time. "And then Napoleon, exhausted after a half day wasted trying to explain the intricacies of strategy to his idiot brother, said 'the crux of strategy is that if you set out to take Vienna...take Vienna.'" Of course, I lost Keller somewhere between my explanation of the Levee en Mass and Waterloo.
I think Keller just pinched Holly's backside. Trickster!
So laid back. California style.
You can see a sliver of Quinn's eyes beginning to change color from blue-green to brown.
Super Keller, up...up...and away!! Quinn is doing really well in her Bumbo chair. She of course thinks it is a throne from which she may hold court. Yes, your majesty.
Once again, they're really beginning to look identical.
Play time.
These two are by Odile Roure. The lighting in the picture really fails to capture the vivid colors. Its very reminiscent of Gaugin from his Polynesian works ... IMHO.
By Zahkar Sasim. This piece is extremely textural. Just loved the depth.
