Prayer Request for Aunt

Please keep my Aunt Rita in your thoughts and prayers. She has been battling cancer, and it seems that the time is quickly dwindling down.  While the doctors are currently disagreeing how long she has, it is certain that she is not as coherent and she doesn't have the same physical abilities she used to.

Please also keep my mother, Linda, in your prayers.  She is a strong woman, but has been taking this very hard.  Rita is her closest sister and friend. 

Thank you,

Daddy Scotty

Come on warmer weather

Hello fellow reader. I say that as I believe I only have one or two that read my posts. Either way, this is my way to document my life, both good times and bad. If you enjoy my posts, please feel free to continue to read.

The weather has been rainy and cool lately. When it wasn’t I was sick with a sinus cold. We are expecting warmer weather this week. Thank goodness! I plan to take the motorcycle out sometime this week. Possibly down to Nashville, Indiana. If you are an Indiana resident and want to offer up a good route to ride, please email me at tripletdad7@yahoo.com. I am always up for something different. Please note that I love scenery, not traffic congestion.

I am learning more things regarding medicine for the family. Vicks vapor rub, rubbed on the feet, helps a child (or anyone) that is up coughing throughout the night. Really, it has helped Emily.

If you haven’t noticed, I am now on twitter. I find it fun to enter some of my stats, which in turn updates my twitter widget on this blog. I have found several new parents of multiples on there that I have not had a chance to connect with up until now. As some of you know, I am part of several groups. The Parents_of_Triplets_Club and the Dads_of_Triplets_Club, both are yahoo groups. I also have a facebook and a myspace account. Through these social services, I have met some of the most wonderful parents of multiples (twins, triplets, quads, quints, and more). No, I have not yet connected with the Octomom or Jon and Kate group. Though, I am sure they could offer some interesting conversations. Personally, 3 is enough for me. Though, I am sure that if I had started with a higher order of multiples I probably would have found a way to make it fine as well.

Do any of my reader(s) have any questions that you want to know about me? I will answer just about anything. However, I will keep some information confidential. Ask a way. If you have nothing to ask on your mind, feel free to leave me a comment. I enjoy hearing others opinions or statements.

Thanks and have a wonderful week.

Hugz,
Daddy Scotty

On The Road (OTR) with a Triplet Dad

I am going to attempt to start up a new segment to my blog. It is called “On The Road with a Triplet Dad”. This will be my opinion column to things I read or see that I have found interesting or useful.

Today’s topic is on the Indy’s Child magazine, www.indyschild.com. Recently, I have found this in a Marsh Supermarket in the free publication section by the doors. Thumbing through it, I have learned many things. From activities for the family to interesting columns on various parts of a child’s life, I am sure you will find something useful in it.

Opening up the online page for this magazine, I am intrigued to find an article on Making Music in Indy, written by Kimberly Harms. In it she informs the readers about many places that offer opportunities for children to play with or explore music. I know for one, my children love to play instruments. “A” is love with the piano, “M” loves the drum, and “E” loves the guitar. Though, they switch quite often from one to another.

Did you know that the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra (ISO) has an instrument petting zoo? I sure didn’t. What about a community drum circle for all ages and all skill levels in Castleton? Me neither.

I know that I am going to research this website for more activities that I can take my kids to. The same old routine gets boring and the kids get more agitated when there isn’t a variety.

Whelp, that is all for me. Take care and have fun with your family.
