Our Ordinary Miracles

We had such a nice day Saturday. It's just wonderful when all 3 kids are in great moods. We went out in the morning to Babies R Us to look at this stroller that I think I want. It's a double stroller with a bench in the back where the third kid can sit OR stand if they prefer. I wasn't sure if the kids were too little for this so it's nice that Babies R Us lets you try things out. The kids loved it! Especially Sophie. She grinned her ear-to-ear Sophie smile the whole time! So instead of getting the toddler seats for our Triple Decker, I think we may get this one.
Then we went to the grocery store where the kids were treated to free cheese for being so cute. Back at home we had lunch with Uncle Lance and Aunt Jade, then the kids napped and the grown ups played some Wii. That night we had a BBQ with the Hamiltons and the kids stayed up till the wee hour of 7:30! They did great though with all the people to play with. Julia even showed off and took quite a few steps in a row! She loves walking but still isn't doing it consistently yet.
Later this month we have our Children's Spot appointment (the NICU developmental follow up) and their 15 month appointment which is late since they had RSV when they actually turned 15 months.
Julia went and saw the hematologist again and he wants to see her once a month to check her out and do blood work. She still has neutropenia and we still need to take her to the ER if she gets a fever. But she's doing really well.
About a week ago Sam had a little stretch where Sam was replaced by something not of this world. He was SO cranky all the time. He could not be pleased. I kept asking people when this phase would end. Apparently I am entering a really tough stage though and it could be a while. Thank God this only lasted about a week and now he's back to his delightful little self. For now at least!
Yesterday Shane put together another crib. No, we're not expecting a fourth baby! hehe. We want to put all the kids in the same room at night. But I still want to separate them for naps so we borrowed a crib. Tonight we'll put Julia in the room that Sam and Sophie have been sharing. Hopefully this will go well and they'll love being together. The S's are always chattering and laughing together in bed and we feel bad that Julia is left out. Wish us luck!
There are some new pictures added to our gallery.
