We had a wonderful time on Saturday. We are all tired but it was worth it. When the kids were in the NICU we met 4 other familys. We all stayed at the Ronald Mcdonald house also. Between us five familys we have 12 kids. We all have multiples we had two sets of triplets and 3 sets of twins. Mine are the youngest of the group and the oldest ones were born on Feb 1 of 2006. The time we had together we all became pretty close and their were plenty of times we would get yelled at. We all visit our kids during the day of course and then at night we would meet back up at the house. Then we would always get real loud and get into trouble but it was fun. We had a lot of good times, we didn't spend much time together but with in a couple of weeks we all got close. So today we all got together and had our 3rd annual halloween party. It gets more and more fun every year. The first year the kids were all still pretty young, last year the kids didn't play much with eachother. Today was a different story they all pretty much had a blast and then the one family brought a bounce house and blew that up. The kids had a blast. We had 9 2 year olds in there at once. The one family had to leave early. Even knows it is great to see everyone it is also hard on me. When I see the other set of triplets which are all girls it makes me sad that I don't have that anymore. I so badly want Hayden back such a huge part of us is gone. It is also hard to watch all the other kids run around and Preston can't. Don't get me wrong he can get around and he gets what he wants but it would be so nice to see him running around and doing stuff on his own. He did get in the bounce house and the other kids would jump around in it and even on him at times and made him bounce. He loved it and thought it was funny. I am glad that we got to go and we are already looking forward to next year. So we had eleven 2 1/2 year olds and 2 10 month olds. Yes the one family has 2 set of twins and they are all under the age of three. Then on Sunday aunt Jessica and Uncle Fred took the babies for a couple of hours. They got to go pick some more pumpkins and play with their big cousins who they love to death. Maddie is Bradyn's girl she loves him. Here are some picutres

So glad you guys could make it! I look forward to the Halloween party every year. What fun we have, and you are right .. what fun we had at the Ronald McDonald House 2 1/2 years ago. Don't you worry .. Preston will be doing his thing sooner than you think. And dear Hayden will be part of our group forever.
