Birthday Measurement

Last month Jack turned 14, and then, for one month, we had three 14 year olds, which is probably not very impressive to a mother of triplets, but this is my claim to fame! Three children born in one year; and Jack just keeps growing. Fairly soon, I won't be tall enough to measure him.
