Our Santa photos - This year and last year

Our first visit to Santa Clause was 2005, which was a sucess.....because Josh slept thru it & you can't really tell from the Pic that Olivia was screaming...Jasmine was also fine

So, all pepped up with confidence that it would be as easy in 2006 as it was in 2005 we headed back to see Santa....Ummmm, lets just say it wasn't quite so easy this time around.

Unfortunately, I cant say Christmas this year was wonderfull. All 3 of the triplets were lucky enough to be sick on the day so it was extremely average.

Jasmine & Josh woke up on Christmas morning with raging tonsilitis & Olivia was diagnosed with middle ear infections in both ears on Christmas eve.

With a little help from baby panadol we still managed to get some half decent photos on their new trikes :)

Meal time at the Murrays

Well here it is. We get alot of people asking to see pictures of them in their high chairs. This isn't the greatest picture, but they are still fairly clean which makes it bareable cause I didnt think you would want to see the usual 'bolognaise face' that we deal with each & every day.

I am glad to report that they received their own minature version of a kitchen table which they have just started using at mealtimes...Photos to come.

Our 1st birthday

Their birthday was actually 12 August 2006 but I just thought I might share some images from the 1st birthday party party.

All lined up nicely for our Party Photos.

We also have a cake photo of which there was only 1 of this year since we could get away with it......Can't wait till when we have to make 3 of them :)

I have to say, I am most impressed with the cake I made. I ended up with an entire bottle of blue food colouring in the icing & of course the entire kitchen somehow ended up blue for a week too.

I only wish we had a better photo of all the party guests with their blue smiles after eating the cake. I was fairly sure we had a 'blue tongued' photo of everyone but the colour didn't quite come out in the photo so it isn't worth posting.

Christening day.

Here is the christening cake. Isn't it lovely. I just love this cake so I had to post a pic to share. It was a chocolate orange liquor mud cake & tasted just divine.

We had guests coming from Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast & the weather was suburb.

My 3 little jelly beans

Here is another really cute pic that I just had to put in my blog. It was actually taken when the triplets were only 3 or so months old (so along time ago) but I just had to share.. Top to bottom is Olivia, Jasmine & then Joshua.

In these photo we had barely been home from the nursery for a few days.

I was hoping to get a few nice pic's of the children before they were big enough to get up & run away or turn away or start fighting, but no such luck.

Funnily enough, the only time I can ever seem to get them to keep still & look in the direction of the camera with a smile on their faces is when a photographer is taking the photo.

L to R: Olivia, Joshua & Jasmine.

Going home

This was taken as we left the nursery after a grueling 7 week stay.

I still remember this day well.

When we arrived home we put the babies down to bed & spent the rest of the afternoon pacing the house ready for the unexpected.
