Triple Boys, Triple Joys

In case you were concerned the media frenzy for the cubs had faded, never fear! Click here for the lastest tidbit from the NY Post: https://www.nypost.com/seven/11282008/news/regionalnews/triple_boys__triple_joys_141214.htm

Happy Thanksgiving!

An Instant Way to Brighten Your Day!

1 Month Update!

Hello there! I just returned from my first visit with the Lyons Cubs and as a guest of the now infamous Lyons Den. I have to say, that even after spending a week with these wonderful little guys, it is still hard to believe there are three of them! Perhaps even harder to believe is how well the entire clan is handling the three new additions. The babies are now eating seven times a day which is a huge challenge now that Kerry and Des are on their own but they are handling it superbly and seem to be having a bit of fun as well. I will post pictures from the visit at the link below - as you can see, the boys have grown a lot in their first month. In fact, yesterday was their one month check up and our entire family put in guesses as to what the babies would weigh. We were shocked at how large they've grown: Kevin is now 8 lbs, 15 oz (from 6 lbs at birth), Declan is in the mid 8 lbs range (sorry can't remember exactly - think he was 5 lbs 8 oz at birth) and Cormac is 8 lbs (from 5 or so at birth). They are all healthy and happy as long as their diapers are not getting changed! Kerry is now officially signed up as an author so hopefully the next post you see will be from her.

Cheers,
Kristin

Triple Threat?!?!

Thought you might find the latest mini-update from "the Den" a bit amusing. Apparently all the media attention has gone to their heads! :) Just 3.5 days more to go till I go to New York where I will teach Kerry how to update this site herself (and use a digital photo frame - trust me, it is nowhere near as simple as it looks!).................

Ok, just when you thought it couldn't get any crazier around here, guess who we had come to visit tonight?!

10 firefighters

One police chief with official car

One fire chief with official car

One ladder truck

One pumper truck and,

One basic fire truck!

Yep. I think our neighbor Daniella summed it up best when she noted that we're now desperate for media attention and offered to call The Post with the headline "Triple Threat"!!!

Long story short, there was a nasty electrical burning smell coming from The Trips room -- and no, it wasn't just a nasty diaper smell; it was really a bad electrical stink. So, after the friendly local fire guys checked the outlets, the walls, the ceiling and the entire house including the attic crawl space and basement, it turns out the culprit was a lamp with faulty wiring -- conveniently located right next to the Lyons Cubs' changing table. So, all is well that ends well and, it is now a lot darker in the tiny room shared by Kevin, Declan and Cormac... perhaps this will lead to sleeping through the night... we can only hope!!

Good night! :)
