Top Story: Triplets a blessing to Austin couple

Proud parents Brandon and Jessica Johnson of Austin hold their prized possessions, triplets Sophia Marie, Aubrey Lynn and Logan LaVerne, born Jan. 25. Mother's Day was twice as nice as it was Jessica's first as a mother, and also her birthday.
Four words are stenciled above the clock in the Johnson's living room.
"Eat. Sleep. Poop. Repeat." That slogan seems a little more important today than the actual time.That is because Brandon and Jessica Johnson have brought home their triplets, who will turn 4 months old on May 25.
