Taken on
September 2, 2002, seems as though Grandma Nancy had bought the girls
these matching outfits and woke the triplets up to get this before the Grosdidier girls on
left went home to Kansas City. Looks like the triplets put every one to work patting
and walking
to quiet them before the party broke up. Babies have a way of letting the adults
know how they feel. HA!!!
