Line Up
Naomi and Jacob are always leaving behind lines of things.
I especially love in this one how Naomi shoved everyone else's shoes into a big pile so she'd have room to line up all of hers.

Mega Mushrooms
Our yard is sprouting mushrooms.
Here are Jacob & Naomi between the two in the front yard.
And here's the one in the back yard.
Yes, it really is practically as big as Jacob's head.

Jacob turned 2 this month!
Our Little Dude loves to play with cars & trucks.
He loves to look at books and be read to.
He loves to draw and almost always has a pencil and piece of paper in hand.
He loves to collect rocks, especially little ones. There are piles of them all through the house.
He loves to play with his baby sisters.

Family Outing
We couldn't fit three regular car seats in the back seat of our minivan, so we've had the babies in my van and the big kids in Sam's truck. We finally got special narrow car seats and can now all ride together! We celebrated with a trip to Target :)
Sam had the brilliant idea to put Naomi in the back between two of the babies. She did great - talking and singing to them, helping them with pacifiers, even feeding Hannah.
From the back. Naomi holding pacifiers for Hannah & Neka.
And from the front. Getting ready to feed Hannah.

"Ride Train"
This week Sam and Jacob rode the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad from Canton to Akron and back. They got there a little early and were talking to the engineer and Dude charmed his way into the cab. He asked to drive the train, the engineer let him blow the horn instead.

Perks
Having triplets is DEFINITELY harder than a single baby. So many diapers. So many bottles. So little sleep. Sometimes it feels like I don't get enough snuggle and play time with them - as soon as I get one baby happy I have to put her down to take care of the next fussy one.
But there are benefits to triplets, too. The thoughtfulness and generosity we've been shown is awe-inspiring. I can fall asleep easier and faster than ever before, anytime and anywhere (chronic sleep deprivation will do that for you). There's almost always a baby to hold rather than do housework.
The biggest perk right now:
3x the baby grins!

A few more random photos from May.
Naomi & Jacob in their overalls.
Me with the girls.
Naomi & Jacob love playing in the babies' car seats. Jacob will even drag one over to sit in while watching TV.
Jacob feeding his doll while I feed Hannah.

Splash!
What's summer without playing in the water.
The fun starts with filling the pool.
Get the sprinkler going too.
Wet and happy
Naomi line of the day: "We love splashing in cold water... in our pajamas!"
Explanation: The kids bathing suits were still packed in a box so they played in the water in their clothes. Naomi had asked to stay in her pajamas that day - and I was still in mine so I couldn't really tell her no - so that's what she wore for the water play.
