yes, we are still alive. we have hunkered down for the winter trying to keep the girls from getting RSV. so far so good; however, everyone has been under the weather at some point over the past couple of weeks. michelle and i both had stints in bed while the girls have had such symptoms as runny noses, low grade fevers, and wheezy breathing. we are already looking forward to spring evenings when we can take walks and more easily get out and about.

of late, the girls have decided that it would be fun to be fussy at night when i get home from work. one of the only ways i have found to entertain them and reduce some of the fussiness is to dance for them. i have found that a good hour dance session works wonders. below you will find the reactions of Keegan, Samantha, and Maggie to me rocking out to the the Ramones.

beyond being a little shell shocked at first they have come to love the Ramones.
HEY HO LET'S GO!!!

Oh, the dancing works wonders, doesn't it? You have reminded me that I can use ACTUAL musicians, though... I've been making up the most ridiculous stuff around here. I've maybe ruined her.

Those babes are getting bigger and bigger, and they're just gorgeous! (Michelle, I definitely see you in them with their sparkly eyes...:) )
Thad, I'd like you to post a video of one of your little dance routines next time...sounds like a lot of fun! We already knew you had a lot of good moves but would love some extra entertainment ourselves.
Love you all lots and wish we could see you and the girls. Once spring comes, we have much to look forward to! ...Nate's already thinking of morel season... haha
Take care of yourselves and call us anytime.

Hi there Michelle! I found your blog through the blog of another GR triplet mom and I am so glad to see pictures of your beautiful family! The Lord has blessed you guys tremendously and while the workload is heavy right now, there is nothing like being a mom to multiples and watching those relationships form. Praying that you all will stay healthy this winter!

How come you never danced for an hour when we were fussy?

Our prayers are that you all stay well. And praying for rest, peace, joy for you and yours.

Have been filtering through old pictures for a digital picture frame we're loading for Adam's parents. Lots of good memories that include you two. Thanks for being you.
