(Oct. 1, 2008) -- The game went great. On the way to the game, my daughter asked me about yelling. Her little sister has been getting into a log of trouble for screaming lately.

While it is in appropriate to run into Mom & Dad's room at 6 AM on Saturday screaming at the top of your lungs, when the Twins are winning and you are at the game and there are runners in scoring position, Daddy has no problem with you yelling.

But Mother Nature had other ideas. Just before the Army specialist was deployed in July, the surprised Shatswells - based in Fort Hood, Texas - learned they were to be the parents of triplets. But the surprise was far from over. When she was 19-weeks pregnant, a specialist told her there was another baby hiding in there. By this time, her husband was in Afghanistan and she had to tell him over the telephone.
