Identical triplets ready to head home
John and Julie Vandermolen said they were blessed three times over when their identical triplet sons were born.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- A Michigan family more than doubled its size, just in time for the holidays.

Ivan, William and Harrison, newborn identical triplets, will be home for Christmas. They were born minutes apart about three weeks ago, WZZM reports.

John and Julie Vandermolen were trying to have a baby for a long time and started losing hope.

The new parents said they feel blessed three times over with this trio of sons. No one in either of their families has had triplets before. But there are a few twins in John's family.

The Vandermolens said the infants may look alike, but they are all different sizes. They also said they will have to come up with a plan to tell them apart in the future.
