Ok, so turns out I'm NOT so great at updating! haha - who would have guessed!!

Well anyway, here's whats been going on at our house lately....

Bella is all better! Her face is fine - healing nicely.... Although, now her and Allie have conjunctivitis... ICK! It's always something, what can you do?! hehe...

Over the past 2 weeks, we've had lots to do! Kindergarten registration was a few days ago and the girls did great! (Although I wished we'd been notified that they would not only have been taking the girls photos, but also a photo with the PARENTS! I had to sit there and have my picture taken THREE TIMES!!! haha - I had just come from work and was a TOTAL mess.....oh well.... what can you do?)

The very next day, we met with the principal to discuss keeping the girls together in the same class for K. The school likes to separate multiples (they've only had twins - never triplets or more), but we wanted to keep the girls in the same class for K because of the transition from being at home and then going away for a whole day (8:25 to about 2:50 every day!!!) We thought it was going to be a LONG, harsh process, but the meeting went very well and the girls will be together!!!!! (Yay us!)

And now on to the even better news! Bella has raised over $650.00 for her ADA walk in October!!! It's great!
We're also planning something REALLY big for the JDRF walk in September.... Another mom and I (and of course with the help of lots of friends and family) are planning a penny sale in Bella and Cooper's names to raise a TON of money for the JDRF! We're hoping it's going to do really well, and we have full support from the JDRF as well, so it's looking really good. It's just going to be a LOT of work!! But it will totally be worth it!


What else?!?!..... Coming up this week - doctor's appts, chimney cleanings(ick..), birthday parties, school, events, work, NICE WEATHER - finally!!! It was 87 today and we were outside almost ALL day! My kids are sleeping great! (and I think I will too!! hahaha)

Wow have we got a lot going on this week!!

This week is looking to be quite busy for my little b-day girls!! School M,W,F - as usual.... Diego's (that's Papa to those of you who don't know) birthday is Wednesday, so we're going to be busy making lots and lots of cards I'm sure - hehe...



Thursday is the girls FIFTH birthday!! I can't believe how the time went by... What happened to my little drooly, pumpkin heads?!?! We'll be going out to lunch to celebrate and then heading over to Wicked Fun Art for an afternoon of arts and crafts, glitter and glue - a nice mess I'm sure, but thats OK with me cause I don't have to clean it up!!!!



Bella's diabetes fundraiser is up and running... her website (if you'd like to look or donate) is:

http://main.diabetes.org/goto/IsabellaRae

We've only had it running for 2 days, and she's already half way to her goal!! It's amazing! We're going to up the goal to $600 for now, and hopefully we'll raise much more than that! Bella is just so excited! She doesn't understand the amount of $, but she's glad she's helping find a cure! (how cute, huh?!?!)

On the subject of Bella, her face is healing quite nicely.... She's quite a rainbow of colors now... green, blue, purple, and yellow to be exact... poor thing - it just looks a mess!

Lastly, One Friday - we have an audition for a comercial for Hasbro's new Baby Alive doll... The girls are very excited! Right now there are only 2 other kido's auditioning, so we'll see what happens! Hopefully the girls will have fun, and do a good job - we'll see.... It all depends on their moods on Friday - haha.....

Poor little Bella.....


Bella took a nice little header off of the front steps this afternoon, resulting in a quick trip to the ER.... She fell from the deck, down 4 steps (although she didn't hit one of the four...) and landed on the concrete block at the bottom - on her face :( My poor little peanut had an INSTANT black eye (her eyebrow swelled up almost closing her eye completly...), she has a few scrapes and contusions on her nose, mouth, and cheek..... We spent a couple of hours in the ER. Though she was chatty and laughing with the nurses and doctors the whole time, they were a little worried about a concussion and about a possible fracture of her nose, so we have to watch her for 24 hours (wake her up every hour, make sure she's talking normal, acting right, etc...) Hopefully she'll be back to normal by tomorrow, but we know she'll have one heck of a shiner for the next few days....


I've said it a million times - she's the toughest kid you'll ever meet... I dont know how she does it... she deals with diabetes everyday (8 - 10 fingerpricks a day, BIG needles for pump set changes, shots if need be....) and I cant believe how strong she is!!! Definatly tough, that's for sure!


I'll have to go find some nice, light coverup for her.... I can only imagine what people will think when I bring her out in public.... Like we don't get enough attention for having triplets, now I'm going to have to explain what happened to my poor peanut, too! hehe..... Thank god she's OK though, thats really all that matters. We decided we're going to take a picture every day or two so she can see all the colors that her face turns as it heals (she thinks it's hilarious! - haha)
