Cousins

The stairwell was the favorite source of entertainment for the triplets during Thanksgiving - and my biggest source of anxiety.

"See Cat Again!" This darling cat followed Joe home one day and lived in the Elliss's garage for a time. It was easily the best tempered cat I've ever met he was so sweet with Michelle and all the little children who were fascinated by him, but were still learning how to be "soft". But Michelle was by far his biggest fan.

Here are the triplets from Thanksgiving 2009 when they weren't so wiggly. (Lily, Johnny, Felicity)

Joci was a trooper and pinned the triplets down for a picture together. (Johnny, Lily, Felicity)

All the cousins together.

Elliss geniuses

Best Friends Yet Again. After a few days of ignoring each other they finally remembered their buddi-hood.

What do toddlers do best together? Get into mischief!

"I sure wish I could read. It can't be that hard to make these brownies."

Lily and baby Ben. He soon learned over the next few weeks to either flinch or just flat out cry whenever Lily came near him. Survival instincts.

Mother Michelle. The three triplets were Michelle's little babies, and she did her best to take care of each and every one of them.

"Don't look yet Johnny, the scary part isn't over."

Kelly: "We're Super Hannah's!" Over the next few days she continued to insist that she was "Super Hannah".

The quietest moment of the week (including night time):
"The Diary of a Wimpy Kid."

There was always a waiting line for the computer.

Lily played hard, and slept well. However, she became continually more grumpy as the week went on. She's just not used to that much chaos.
