We Really Have Three!

Sitting in the hospital room on Saturday morning with all three babies swaddled and sleeping, I must admit that I am both enamored and occasionally overwhelmed.  They spend some periods of time in the nursery so when they are bringing them back in the room and I hear the sound of not one, but three bassinets being rolled down the hall, watch not one but three beds fill my room, I can still hardly believe it.  At the same time I look at each of them and can’t imagine it any other way.  They are so beautiful and so healthy…truly tiny miracles…overused, but true just the same. 
We will all go home tomorrow.  Fortunately, we have lots of helpers lined up for the next week, hoping the transition will be smoothed with extra hands.  Little Graham comes today to meet his brother and sisters and get the present they brought him:  a huge teddy bear.  Considering how busy he is, I am thinking it will be a ten minute visit at the most!  He will have already been to “Touch the Trucks Day” so he will have a couple of big events today.  (Okay, so “Touch the Trucks” wins out hands down over “Meet the Siblings”.  He is only 17 months.)
We can never thank all of you for you messages, visits, phone calls, prayers, constant and dear reminders of how blessed we are by our family and friends.  We are incredibly grateful as well for the medical care we have received at Baptist Hospital.  We are blessed way beyond threes!!!

Big brother already trying to play rough. Eliza wants his finger out of her ear. Laura sleeps through it all.

Same line up...Eliza, Sims, and Laura.




Think I will just take the bear. 


First glimpse of Eliza.  Doesn't realize there are two more where that came from.

Can we keep this one, Dad?
