The babies are almost a year. How did this happen its been a blink of an eye. Above is a picture of their new favorite past time, standing and looking out the window. They love screaming dad when they see his car pull in the driveway its too cute. Happy almost birthday babies.

Fun announcement.... I have turned in my final manuscript for my book that myself and denise have been working on (she is a writer for people and kntv). In my mind its already a success. I wanted to have a true account of my experience getting pregnant, having a miscarriage, fertility treatments, sextuplet pregnany,the joy and sorrow of my delivery and life with my 3 special babies for myself and for Bruno, Santino and Lucia. Im so happy with the way it turned out. Its with publishers right now, hopefully i will hear back soon. Wish me luck :).

Hope everyone is well.

The kiddies have graduated into the regular bath tub. thanks to the whites we were using a so cute blues clues inflatable tub (after they outgrew the infant bath we were using first)which that they no longer fit into. :(( they are growing so fast.

some highlights:

they eat tons of food. they love grilled cheese, ham, cheese, yogurt, peaches and KFC but mom and dads bbq the most and moms chocolate chip pancakes even more.

they play with eachother, sonny entertains bru and luci while they are supposed to be napping or going to bed. he plays peek a boo and starts laughing contests

they are on the GO moving quickly throughout the house its very hard to catch them

they love being outside, they love the pool, they love the dogs and they love us and we love them.

i cant believe they will 1 yr on sept. 12. time has really truly gone by so fast.

Today i spent the day home with the babies. We are in the midst of some scheduling / nanny changes. It was so nice to be home with them. I was completely saddened to realize that they are so different from the time i used to be home with them before i went back to work. They are so amazing and i just hate being away from them :(. We went crazy playing, cooking, being goofy and singing today. They absolutley loved having me home and we literally spent most of the day laughing until our tummies hurt. Tomorrow is going to be very rough. Pic of today above.

This last weekend Brian and I were able to get out and watch one of our favorite bands Stone Temple Pilots. They played at the Greek Theater and it was just an amazing time. Excellent showmanship and they played all but one of my favortie songs. I listened to them and alice in chains a lot while going through fertility treatment so it was a trip down memory lane and a lot of reflecting under the stars during the show. Brian and i hadnt been there since one of our very first dates when we say LIVE and Counting crows. it was amazing and to top it off we had the best parking deal ever - parking at the frat house and free beer for 30 bucks! we also got to see the very famous tree sitters, I was amazed by the protection barrier around them and determination to stick it out to the end. We followed up the night out with our friends to celebrate kevins birthday at santana row, we missed last call but ended up at their after party at their house. we didnt get home until nearly 3am. its been a very long time since we have done that and we are so grateful our nanny was able to provide us with a night out.

Sat and sunday we spent at the lodge swimming (we are new members!) and had our first sunday family breakfast which we are hoping to continue as a weekly family tradition. it was so much fun to get out and just have time together as a family outside the house and be ina very family friendly atmosphere. Breakfast was great, swimming was amazing and the babies did so well. I lathered the babies in sunscreen and myself in tanning lotion. i mentioned to brian to lather up but didnt check to see if he did....... sunday i reminded him to do the same and i mentioned both nights he didnt look so well and asked if he wanted met put aloe vera from my plant in my garden on him. he said no, it was ok. he felt a little burned but felt like it was past the treatment stage......

Monday night brian stayed up all night suffering over a very bad burn , he was moaning and in agony, couldnt sleep and was basically in the worst pain i have ever seen in him physically. once i saw that he had difficulty breathing and couldnt stand i called an ambulance. he spent two hours in the er and diagnosed with 2nd degree burns, then injected with pain meds and given pain medicatin to take home. they called a cab and he came home. Meanwhile i was home caring for the babies , they were awake when the ambulance AND firetruck came to get brian. he will see a dermatologist friday to seek further treatment and i am so looking forward to sleeping- something i havent done since sunday.:P

Hope you are all doing well.
