Beachbound

We are off in a couple of hours for a very brief weekend trip to the beach. My husband has a conference there, so we decided to tag along. A six hour drive each way will only leave about 36 hours of actually 'being there' but at least we'll be together. (In other words, I won't be home alone all weekend trying to keep busy little people entertained.)

And although it is completely unrelated, I was feeling a little 'flashback-y' this morning. These are all from before I started blogging.
This was our first family photo outside the hospital. I think the trio was about 8 weeks old.

This was the only time in their lives they had round pudgy faces.I love this picture with the grandparents. That is definitely a lapful of joy!
I find it hard to believe that I can barely remember this time in our lives--sleep deprivation maybe?

I hope that you all have a great weekend at the beach. My husband travels a lot for work and the twins and I really enjoy going with him. Yes, we do not get to spend much time with him, but it is nice to atleast be with him in the evenings! Enjoy and have fun!

So cute! And that's what you looked like 8 weeks after having triplets!!! Envy!

Yes...sleep deprivation. If it weren't for pictures, I would not recall half of what was done during the first 18 months of Mommy-hood!

I love that even at that 8 week picture it is so easy to tell who is who!

Precious.

Have a great time at the beach!

Oh, and funny thing...I just realized that my sis-in-laws fam was at the Disney the same time you guys were. I'm sure she and your hubby worked together at Grady/Emory.

I love the baby pictures! You should start doing "Way back When-sday" and post older pictures more often. I love it. You can really tell who is who.
Enjoy your time as a family at the beach.

It is always amazing to me that baby's personalities are already showing at such an early age. You can already see it in their sweet little eyes! Have a great trip...and some relaxation.

Thank you for sharing the pictures. Have a great time at the beach.

Those picture are priceless. I've often wondered what your kids looked like as babies. And now I know! Adorable.

As far as not remembering goes, I'm starting to believe it's one of those curses of motherhood. Each stage of life seems so real and vivid (in both good and bad ways) when it's happening, I think I'll never forget a moment of it. But then I look back and old pictures, and I'm stunned at how much I can't recall.

I think that's why journaling is so key. It's one way to hold on to some of those everyday moments that we otherwise forget.

Seriously, why did you look like that 8 weeks after triplets. Amazing.

Your 3 are just too, too cute.
