As Hayden, Payson and Madison are just a few short weeks away from entering Kindergarten, I have decided to write my final post on the Melker family blog. I originally planned to end upon their 5th birthday but I had enough requests to post our Disney trip that I kept it going for a little longer. And boy was that a lot of information to share! But now I feel like it is their story to tell. And who knows, I bet there will be at least one little Melker for sure who will have her own blog one day.
The original purpose of my blog was to inform friends and family of my and the babies' progress during my high-risk pregnancy, bedrest and days in the NICU. But it quickly turned into a way to connect with other moms of multiples who were looking for guidance or just someone to relate to. Thank you to my family, friends, friends-of-friends and beyond who have loved and supported us along the way. I hope we brightened your day or made you smile from time to time! God has been good to us and, while we have our struggles with raising triplets, we are incredibly blessed to be on this wild and unique journey that God has set before us. May God bless you, comfort you and reveal himself to you so that you may know the richness of His love and grace.
I will leave you with some spring and summer highlights. Thanks again everyone!
Summer vacation was divine in Watercolor, Florida.
Payson proudly joined Hayden in learning how to ride his bike without training wheels.
Payson accepted Jesus Christ into his heart last fall and shared his decision with the world through baptism.
Madison and Hayden danced beautifully during their ballet show at their dance recital. And got their groove on during their Hip-Hop performance!
Payson had an incredible T-ball season and was bit by the baseball bug. Hitting a double...
Madison was the first little Melker to lose a tooth!
Preschool graduation. They were so proud!
We had a blast at Mother/Daughter camp with the cousins!
Payson had his fun at Luke's "messy party." Such a mess and so. much. FUN!
Texas bluebonnets.
Tea time!
Hunting Easter eggs was a riot!
We camped as a family for the first time with some friends.
XOXO,
Jessica

I have faithfully read your wonderful blog since you were pregnant with your adorable little ones. I will miss your updates and am swallowing back a lump in my throat as I read you're permanently signing off.
I've always marveled at how you accomplish so much with so much poise and seemingly little effort. You and your husband are doing an exceptional job of parenting; they are precious, beautiful children. God bless you and your family. I will always keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Jessica, I've read every single post over the past five years and enjoyed them all. :)
i've loved keeping up with your precious family through every single post. i'll miss hearing all the details - i'm always inspired by your creative and fun family moments.
i guess i'll just have to finally come for another visit in person, now!
Sweetie, in this too you have been remarkable. So I guess you have time to write a book now!
Love all y'all, Pops
