Dad and Mom,Everything here is better then it has been. The kids are doing well. Zoe, Bridie and Andrew are a handful but the light of my life along with Malachy who is adjusting and acting as though he were born into the family. Everyone gets along but of course they all have their moments of not wanting to share their toys or mommy and daddy with one another. Thank god for the play group Talus and I have them enrolled in three days a week. And the other days Talus' Mother is being a big help by watching the kids and keeping them at her new house for some of the weekends now that the new baby is here and finally home.Little Alister Dino is your newest grandson's name and the children had a say in picking a middle name. Yes, we know Dino is an odd middle name but the kids were recently introduced to the Flintstones and are obsessed with a certain dinosaur dog. Instead we just tell people we wanted to give him an Italian middle name and they seem to except it unless one of the four pipe up.Alister's birth was not an easy one for me. This was more complicated and worrysome compared to the triplets'. I ended up on complete bedrest for the last two months and that was a strain for both Talus and myself, especially with four small children. I couldn't have done it without Talus' mother who practically lived with us during that time because of the split from her husband. It was a good distraction for her.Alister had to enter the world in his own way. He was a breech delivery after 12 hours of labour. And to our worry he was three weeks early and there were complications. At one point the doctors though we might lose him, but he is a strong little fighter. There was a slight worry I might have problems because I ended up losing more blood then usual but everything turned out alright in the end thankfully.Alister spend nearly a month in the hospital under observation and for several infections that kept coming back. Now he is doing very well and the doctors feel he will grow up a normal and healthy child.The triplets and Malachy were hesitant at first of Alister but are getting to understand what it means to have a little brother. Already they argue about who gets to play with him and help mommmy and daddy change his diapers or feed him. We're waiting for the novalty of the newness to wear off and to see what will happen next.With our family every day is a new adventure where you will learn something new. And just today we learned that peanut butter sandwiches and the clothes dryer are not compatable.Time for bed time stories and night time hugs and kisses.Love,
Everybody
