Need a Pick-me-up?

I have had a difficult last few weeks. Nothing "bad" has happened, but you could say I've been on edge emotionally. My sweet little boy has struggled lately with some of his autistic issues. It has been breaking my heart to see Stockton challenged with pretty basic things--he's so celestial he shouldn't have to go through some of the things he goes through.

Lately, I've prayed a lot to have strength and courage (Joshua 1:9) to help both Stockton and myself cope. I happened upon this video that Clark and I made when Stockton was about 13 months old. I think, in many ways, it is an answer to my prayers. It definitely has given me the pick-me-up that I've needed.

Because I Don't Have Anything Else to do Except Take Pictures of My Girls

I have bald babies! I was hoping the fuzz the girls had when they were born would stay. Apparently, that was wishful thinking.

I rarely dress up the girls; so, when I do, I'll always take a picture:
Mary: Tess:
My triplets! It's times like these that I'm grateful I only have two babies. In case you can't tell, my girls are the bald ones. The other sweetheart is my follicly-abundant niece, Anna:

A Special Day

Mary and Tess were blessed this last Sunday. It was a wonderful day!

My sister-in-law, LeAnn made the headbands. She's amazing!

The five of us (Stockton was so excited to take this picture):

The girls dresses came with bonnets. We didn't use them, but I thought they looked sweet hanging in their room:
