Lucy, Ida and Ruthie love the tea set they got for Christmas.

One of my favorite toys.
These tow magnetized ladybugs dance around a stage with magnets under it as a music box plays.

Green hat on Blanca R.I.P.
We took in a cat for a couple of months but then he got really sick (kidney failure and liver cancer) so we had him put to sleep. He was a really good cat, though.

Beatrice chats with Uncle Seth on Jason's birthday!
Another exciting thing that happened this winter is that Jason's brother Seth moved up from California. He is a cook too! Whee!

Ruthie with her first abelskiver
Jason's family has a tradition of making abelskivers on Christmas morning and so we extended that tradtion to my family this past Christmas. Ruthie was pretty happy about it.

Almost a family portrait
Here we all are on Christmas after dinner at my aunt Deedee's house. Okay, so the photo isn't the best, but I'm glad I have it anyhow.

sleeping toddlers are like potential energy
It's a reasonably obvious statement, but let me elaborate a little. Potential energy is energy of position. By this I mean that work has been done on an object to bring it to its current position. Picture a boulder on the edge of a cliff. Say a large gust of wind comes along or maybe the edge of the cliff begins to fail and that boulder begins its dramatic descent. The boulder loses potential energy as it careens down to the unsuspecting earth below, meanwhile this lost potential energy is converted to kinetic energy until crashes into the dust below at which point the kinetic energy crescendoes into a giant impact, resulting in significant deformation of the impacted earth. Now: replace "boulder" with "child," "earth" with "mommy" and "cliff" with "crib" and then raise the whole equation to the third power and you have my day, from morning 'til night.
I should just go ahead and tell you that the triplets graduated from high school, with honors, because it just might be another 15 years before I post to this ding dang blog again. And although, I almost omitted "ding dang" from that sentence, I think it's important for ya'll to know what's really going on around here. Item number one is that Jason and I can curse blue streaks when provoked. It's true, but we are working on it. It's been pretty colorful around here. There is a great deal of "effin that" and "gee dee this" and when necessary we have been known to use the modifier "stomping" (as in, "Gee dee it! Where the eff are my stomping keys???").
In other news: The girls are magnificent! They are talking up a storm and like most other toddlers, they are poets! Everyday the most beautiful combinations of words flow out of their mouths like so many pearls from the ocean. I really mean it. I would never have guessed that the words "semicircle, diaper cream, yee-haw, please, sorry, outside, car, walk, doggie, book" could be combined into such lovely prose. They can say many, many words and I am also impressed by how well they can rethink and say something differetly if one way isn't working. Amazing!
Everyday they beceom more closely-knit. They are really starting to be like a little clique...they travel from room to room together and hide out in corners together, whispering about me. I maybe would take it personally if I weren't so busy enjoying my freedom.
As for the growing, I really do seem to have possibly the smallest toddlers in Portland. They are about 32 inches tall and approximately 21-23 pounds. Don't tell them they're small, though, they don't seem to care so I am trying my best not to worry about it. They eat well and they sleep well and they are happy. No complaints here!
Winter was one of the longest I can recall. Thanksgving was lovely: we drove to Bend to spend the holiday with Jason's parents, aunt and uncle and their kids, among others. It dusted snow for us which was very nice for setting the mood. I would be lying if I said I didn't have even one fantasy of getting snowed in at Mark and Suzy's very cozy home with all those helping hands...
We spent Christmas in Eugene this year and I think it will have to go down as one of my favorites ever. My Grandma flew out from Texas to meet here only great grandchildren and it was so wonderful to have her there with my new family and also my parents and brother and his utterly fantastic girlfriend. I have never been surrounded by so much of my family before. It's really fascinating how families get bigger...
For fun this spring we have really been enjoying our backyard. The girls adore tromping around in the grass, practicing on the stairs, watering plants and picking flowers. They also love the swings and slide at the park, but I can't really make that trip without a helper until the babes are a little older (and a little better at following directions).
I really would love to go on and on but I must go to bed. I hope this will renew the faith of some of you out there that I have not lost my ambitions regarding the blog. I will try not to be a stranger...
lots of love to all, Sarah
