Finally!!

Zoey got an appointment for Shriners. I am so excited. This has been a long process and I can't wait for her to get her braces. The best part is that it is next week due to a cancellation. The worst part is that it is at 7:30 am and a hour away. :) I will just need a little caffeine.
One of my favorite people found out she was pregnant. I am super happy for her and can't wait to have a baby to spoil. It might keep my own baby fever at bay.

I am back!

I dont know why I can't seem to find the time to do this. I am online everyday and have loads of cute stories to share. Maybe its lazyness, maybe its the 4 girls running around????
All 4 girls are growing up too fast. Alexa will be 4 next month and Belle, Jenna and Zoey are almost 20 months. WOW. Alexa has almost completed her 1st year of preschool. The little girls are walking, talking and having fun.
The picture is of the girls and 2 of best friends. Layla and Izzy.

March for Babies

It is almost March for Babies time. We are walking as Team Albers this year. Walgreens is donating us shirts and we are going to customize them. So far we have 8 adult walkers and 5 kids. I am really excited. Last year was a lot of fun. We are walking in Edwardsville on April 24th. It is hard to believe the girls were born 10 weeks early and spent 5-6 weeks in the NICU. This is something no family should have to go through.

The March For Babies helps fund such research and education that is so desperately needed to reduce the number of preemie births. We need to reduce the number of parents spending hours next to the crib of their tiny baby. We need to reduce the anxiety, fear and helplessness these parents feel when looking at their teeny tiny newborn. We need to reduce the number of times a parent has to bury a child they barely knew.

Ready to welcome the new year!

This has been a quick month. Alexa had 2 Christmas concerts. She was a angel in both and the cutest one. (Mommy pride) Zoey got checked for phyiscal therapy for her leg... More to come on that this month. Jen and I had a suprise 30th party for Chris and Craig. It went great and they were totally suprised. We have had 3 Christmas's so far and one to go. The girls were spoiled rotton. I finally got a Wii. I was soo excited. Thanks mom and Chris. This has been a wonderful year. I hope 2010 is even better.

Picture Day!!!

Here are a couple pics from our family pics for Ann.

hohoho

We are getting ready for Christmas. Last week we finished up our outdoor lights and I addressed all our cards. This weekend we will put up the tree and go see Santa. I have already began wrapping presents. Even after doing all of this it doesnt feel like Christmastime. The weather is starting to get colder so maybe I will start feeling in the Christmas spirit. The girls have been to a parade and started wearing their holiday attire. Alexa wants everything on Nickoloden's commericals. 23 days to go!

Inspiration

So today I was feeling sorry for myself. I was upset our water heater went out last week, we had to get a new control panel for our furance and that our sump pump went out all in 1 week. I was sad that it is all right before Christmas. I felt bad Zoey is wheezing and the other girls have runny noses.
Then two wonderful things happened Zoey took her first steps tonight. Her leg is weak and always collasps under her so walking is a feat. The second I started reading this wonderful blog about triplets born at 26 weeks. It was inspirational and uplifting. It made all my problems melt away. I know we will get through anything. I have 4 amazing girls and a great husband.

The picture at top is of all the girls and their best buds.
