My Dad and His Harley

Just wanted to post a picture of my dad on his harley. I am not sure if the bike makes him look cool, or if he makes the bike look cool. Either way this is one of my favorite pictures.

What is up with this??

Today, I was laying on the floor playing with the girls. Tickling, singing, laughing, and wrestling. Then it happened. I turned and looked to the left and Madison comes barreling up on the right side of me. Wham! She lands right on my stomach by my hips. I let out a yell, and there it was again, more back pain. She instantly new she hurt daddy and she laid her head on my chest and said she was sorry. I told her it was ok. I was fine, it just surprised daddy. Sometimes, you never know how emotional these girls can be. So, I loved on her for a while, then got up and we went outside for a popcicle. We enjoyed that until a wasp decided to hover around us. So, we finised off the popcicles and headed through the house to the back door. There they played in the sand and then we had dinner out on the new picnic table. I have never seen so much sand on one head, let alone 3. These girls started out ghostly white, then by the end of the day, they were a light brown color. Bath time was fun. Luckily, I was on the receiving end. Mommy gave them the actual bath. I just had to clothe and comb them.

Daddy is pooped.

Links

Just wanted to let everyone know that I just added 3 links to my blog.

Link 1: Dads of Triplets Club - This is a great group of guys that are at various points of their triplets lives.

Link 2: Parents of Triplets Club - This is a highly active group of mostly mothers. Their experience as triplet parents range from expecting to about 5+.

Link 3: Grandparents of Triplets - This group was created for my wonderful mother. Yes, I am the owner, but I manage it for her. If you know of a grandparent that would love to brag to other grandparents, here is the place to do it.

Pain, Pain, and More Pain

Friday, I threw my back out when Madison jumped on my stomach, which I was reclined on the couch talking to Emily. I still hurt. Last night, we took the girls to the county Fair. They enjoyed the rides, the pigs, the sheep, and the cows. Papaw Bob bought them each an ice cream cone that they enjoyed extremely. Alexa, loved it so much, that when the bottom was falling out of her sugar cone, she still managed to get most of the ice cream out. Finally, I had to take it away from her. Before we left, the girls wanted a balloon. So, we went in the tent and found where they were giving out the baloons. The guy filling up the baloons stated that he was from the window booth, not the one giving the baloons away. THANK YOU WINDOW GUY!! You made my girls very happy.

Today, I am back to work.

Take Care,
Scott H.

Girls on Bicycles

Just wanted to show a picture of the girls riding their bicycles. They absolutely love riding now and carrying their baby dolls or animals in the baskets.

New Profile Pics

I added two profile pics to my blog. The main profile pic was taken at my parent's house. The shirt I have on states "Insanity is heriditary, I got if from my kids". While that may be true, I did have a fair share of it prior to the kids as well. The second pic, is me on my my mother's 1996 Harley Davidson Softail Nostalgia. If I was to pick out a motorcycle right now that I would want, this would be the one. It is beautiful. My current motorcycle, was my mother's second bike a 2002 Honda Shadow 600 VLX.

Summer Weather

I have been taking the girls on walks and bicycle rides lately. However, the temps have been in the 90's. Luckily the girls, remind me to take water and wear my hat. Boy, mommy taught them well. (Daddy is balding and burns easily. Daddy also doesn't sweat regularly and must keep hydrated so not to pass out.) Anyway, the girls enjoy this daddy time. We get to go around the neighborhood then go to a swing set and spend some time there. I must say, there is just something about the "Mack Daddy" feeling you get when people (mostly women) admire you for adventuring off the couch and taking triplets, not just 1, outdoors by yourself. Some people even rave even more because they can not see themselves taking three out at once.

Regarding the last post, all are feeling better. The fevers and sinus infections are gone.

Keep it in the family

Well, that title has put a new spin on my life. Madison developed a fever, then Alexa, then Emily (she added vomitting), now to Melissa (she added a sinus infection). I believe I am next. How do you take care of 3 sick little girls and keeper of the household. Prayer, Medication, and Earplugs. Wish me luck.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog. Hopefully, this will give me the opportunity to update my family and friends daily without too much frustration. Like many others, I have tried Myspace (www.myspace.com/tripletdad7) and Facebook, but have found those not to be exactly what I am looking for. This appears to be a better fit for me. Let's see how it goes.
