We're Back!!!

After spending four months in Scottsdale, Arizona we've arrived back in Columbus,Georgia. With help from Aunt Kristy, who flew out the day before, we boarded a Delta red-eye flight non-stop to Atlanta. The 757 plane seated over 180 passengers, and only 47 were booked for the flight so we virtually had the entire plane to ourselves. We each had a infant per row and were able to keep them in their car seats, nearly impossible on day flights, unless you purchase additional seats. The flight challenge tests done at the hospital prompted us to apply for oxygen and Delta had tanks for each baby. We fed them prior to boarding and once during the flight and managed to return to Atlanta without incident. Each headrest had a television screen which kept Michael occupied for the first hour until he went to sleep. The flight attendants announced over the intercom that we were their youngest passengers and they were proud to have the Malone Quads and family on board.

When we arrived in Atlanta, we were met by my Dad and Johnny Sparks. Mr.Sparks has a shuttle service and picked us up in a stretch limo. Mr .Sparks runs a first-class operation and we highly recommend his services.

When we pulled up to the house the mailbox had balloons and streamers put together by an industrious crew (Paulette, Yolanda, Zehra Bobby and my mom ).They had assembled swing- sets, bouncers, Pack n Plays, and stocked the refrigerator with plenty of food and formula. The neighbors have helped us with nanny referrals and Michael even met three new boys on the street that moved in the neighborhood over the summer.
Our first pediatric appointment in Columbus went well. Dr Lloyd Hudson was my childhood pediatrician and his office staff was able to schedule all the boys at one time! The guys did great and Mrs.Hudson brought balloons for the babies and Michael. His reps have arranged to get more formula to us....nothing better!!


Now the updates....





William is still the calmest of the group. He is over 6lbs 7oz. Since day one he's had the whole "bottle and breast feeding thing" down and doesn't miss many meals. He got tired of people forgetting who he was so he scratched his eyelid to remind us!


Sean..the red beet, will cry on the hour just to remind you that its 3,4,or 5am! My Aunt Denise gave us a gadget called "ITZBEEN" that reminds you how long it's been since feeding, diapers, sleep etc. It's very helpful because its easy to forget who ate last and how long ago. Sean would just assume I throw this device in the garbage! The picture below has them in order from left to right. Sean is now 6lbs 5oz.


Chase hands down has the loudest cry. He has Kelly wrapped around his finger! He has that distinctive cry where you see tongue and tonsils all at the same time! But he like Michael loves the outdoors, if you take him out on the patio, he stops crying almost instantly. He weighs in at over 7lbs 3oz!



Dylan continues to steal the hearts of women. People he's never met seem to love him. Nurses at the hospital ask me about him daily. The whole underdog weight theme plays well! But folks..he's over 7lbs 1oz! Very alert and oriented, he like Chase has a cry that's distinctive.


Special thanks to the folks we met at the Bella Vista Condominiums in Scottsdale Bldg 24, we will never forget you! The bracelet with all the boys names is beautiful!


Sorry for the delay in blogging the "settling in" period has been more challenging than we thought. Thankfully we've found some help during the day. If you know of any Night Nannies...please send them our way! TMM
