You can be contented to know that at the very least Zoe has 3 brothers to beat up the BF that done her wrong!


Wonderful brood!

Or the boys have a sister who will never approve of any of their girlfriends. =P

Your kids are adorable. Zoe looks like she is in charge - must be from being 1st born. My hat is off to you. I have 2 14 months apart and have difficulies with them at times. My youngest is a poor sleep and that is with a routine.

I'm lucky - my DH is a lot like yours. Helps with everything and does grocery shopping. He and my 2 and a half year old have grocery shopping as their special outing every week together.

Your kids look like they are a joy!

Thank you
I took it before we headed off for easter at the Grandparents... its not often I have them dressed up (or dressed coordinating) so I set them up for a photo. It came out nice... I always thought it looked like a GAP advertisement or something LOL.

No we did not do invitro. However, I belong to a multiples group where I'd say 80% of the multiples concieved from fertility assistance are from invitro.

Quick and to the point, the husbands boys needed directions & my overies were stimulated as added insurance as the doctor wanted on a low dose of meds. (low dose... *eep!*) & pow... I became a planting ground for fetusus.
Thanks for sharing..like I said I was curious because my friend is going through treatments. I didn't mean to be nosey. I actually wouldn't have known anything about it even if my friend wasn't going through it.

Wow! Having four is amazing! My parents had seven kids! Two were of their own and the rest were adopted. It must be nice to have them all at one age; one big birthday!
I can't even keep track of all of my siblings' birthdays except 3; my biological sister who was adopted with me, my oldest sister because hers is on Groundhogs Day and my brother because his is on Oct. 13th. (Eek!)
You know, I saw this story on the Discovery Health Channel about a couple who had twins and then sextuplets!!! O.O Lol, they should do a show for you!


Curious question, you don't have to answer it... Are you both going to try for more?

I think it is really cool that all of your kids look really different from each other and have such different facial expressions
Whenever I think of multiples I always imagine them to be identical for some reason :x

I can't imagine what it would be like to have four babies all wanting milk... My grandma had nine daughters (no sons!!!); I'm surprised she still has the energy to work out every morning!!

The first time you walk into your house when they are off to school , even if the alone time is "WELCOMED", will fell really wierd at first! But you`ll get used to it!!!!
Our granddaughter was born at 24 weeks weighing only 1 pound and 6 ounces.....how did you ever do it with 4 premies???

Your babies are darling, fur-babies and quad-babies. I loved seeing all of the pics, particulary the one of them on the 'bikes'. They must have fun on those bikes. Having 4 at once makes me think that you don't have any spare time (or if you do, not much!!) I have one cat, and one two year old and that's alot!! Thanks for sharing again.

Curious question, you don't have to answer it... Are you both going to try for more?
We were approached by TV Media locally, we were approached by The Discovery Channel (TLC), & Newspapers, we declined ALL media. As I did not want their noses in my personal life nor did I want my childrens faces all over the united states or the world for that matter and their life stories for that matter I guess to be a household "thing" that everyone knows about.
I for one am a very shy and self consious person. So imagine, going out in public and all of a sudden you are automatically center of attention because you have 4 infants in a stroller that doesnt look like everyone elses


We try disguising ourselves... making it less obvious... but having 2 double umbrella strollers... no, eventually, they catch on....(no we didnt always dress them alike, it just so happened that day the boys were)


It's hard to "just" be a family, when you have Quadruplets... but to JUST be a family once you've had MEDIA attention?!?! Forget it.
Because I am friends with the Denny Family, with the Quints who did do the Discovery show we talk on the phone and e-mail regularly as we are the same age (she is a few months older
) and its even HARDER when she goes out... look LOOK, its THAT FAMILY from the TV. Sure they got a good amount of donations and that from doing such a promotion, but, they can have it... we did fine with out it


Like I said before, many families have 4 kids... it just so happens that our 4 came all at the same time.


& the answer to that Question, my Brother-in-law had a baby... well his 17 year old girlfriend did eariler this year... and I held the baby, it wiggled... it began to make noise... then it began to SHREIK... I gave her back to mom... I had NO cutsie momsie feelings towards that helpless lil' newborn... ugh... I was thankful my kids were past that... LOL! I had the BEST feeling in the world to KNOW that I WANTED NO MORE KIDS! LOL! & To know that once my kids hit school I can possibly persue my childhood dream, maybe not be a full veternarian, but atleast be a Vet Tech... VERY EXCITING revilation for Louri

I saw a special with a couple that had six at one time. The reporter asked if they wanted to have more. They looked at each other and then the wife said "Well, at the end of the day all we can do is go to sleep..." So in other words, it is a moot point. No time to even try. I thought her answer was funny.

Go for it! That's exactly what I'm doing. There's two ways you can become a Vet Tech, experience or a degree. Most places prefer a degree but if you have the experience and people to vouch for you, then you're okay.
A degree in Veterinary Technology can take as little as a year. I'm doing mine online and self paced from Penn Foster College. You should look them up. It's the only one that I've seen that does that course online.
http://www.pennfostercollege.edu/vettech/

The places that don't require a vet tech degree usually train you on the spot. I don't know much about their training but I've gotten offers from the Last Chance Society to work with them because I'm a beginning student. Problem is, they're a bit far from home and having one broken car doesn't quite help.
