Our First Trip to TARGET!
Ok, so today my mom and I decided to be adventurous and briefly take the babies to TARGET to get a few things we needed! I tried to explain to the babies in the car that TARGET is one of the happiest places on earth. Judging by the fact that they only barely opened their eyes, I'm not sure they'll remember just how wonderful it was...
In the parking lot, making sure we can fit three carseats into shopping carts!
We fit! We fit! Here we go babies!
Getting ready for the happiest place on earth...(after Disneyland)
Here's Gramma!
It only made sense that we would run into the Corbelli's! Jen, Emma and Noah! It wouldn't be a trip to TARGET if they weren't there!
In one cart is Hunter and Ethan...
In the other cart...Colton!
Bringing the babies to the baby aisles!
Bringing the babies to the adult aisles! As all good mothers do, I'm sure, I picked out a wine for Hunter! It's called the Middle Sister! How appropriate!
Colton was trying on sunglasses for the summer!
Proof that he was awake for a second on his big trip!
Man, your brave!! And of course their first shopping experience HAS to be Target, anything else just wouldn't be right!! I love Hunter's little headband, she looks so cute with it on!
yeah!!! You did it! It seems like just yesterday we were talking about you trying to shop with your new bundles of joy! And I notice that this was on the 13th???!!! Not such a bad number after all: ) So, one more week and this Fisher crew member must meet the Bunchkins! I am dying here to hold tiny ones.
It made my day to see your triplets! Those sweet toes are such a blessing. What a great mother you are! I need to earn your trust so I can watch those babies!!! :-) (((hugs)))

COLTON'S CLEFT LIP and PALATE
One of our triplets, Colton, was born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate. He is the only one of the three to have this handsome feature! Much of this blog has been dedicated to writing about life with a child who has a cleft lip and/or palate. I have written about the day to day stuff, as well as documented both of his surgeries. I hope you'll find it helpful if you are also in this boat. If I've learned nothing else...I've learned this-It is no big deal. :)
As you may know, all three of our babies needed to wear Cranial Bands (lovingly known by us as their 'helmets') to correct their Plagiocephaly and Torticollis. We were fortunate to have Hanger Orthotics right in our town. The staff was unbelievably helpful and made such a difference in our babies' lives. If you'd like more information about the process, read the posts below!

Not long ago, we were just two people hoping desperately for a family of our own! After years of struggling with infertility, failed IVFs, miscarriage, etc. we finally got that wish! On March 23, 2009, our family of two became a family of five as we welcomed our triplets into the world! Baby boys Colton and Ethan as well as baby girl, Hunter make our family complete! And I cannot forget our 4-legged family members...Piper, the black lab wonder-baby sitter and Gracie and Jag our two cats keep our house full of love....and fur! We hope you enjoy our story.

Target AND Starbucks... the 2 happiest places on earth!! Your babies will learn to love them both, just as Jaxon has.
