Triplets start school after nightmare summer

CONGRATULATIONS to Jake, Josh and Jamie Howe who have started school just weeks after Jake nearly drowned on holiday.

It was a true milestone for the four-year-olds, and one the boys' parents feared they would never see, reports the Herald in Dublin.

"The first day in school is an emotional one anyway, but to be sending three of them off makes it harder, but obviously we are thrilled that Jake can go with his brothers," mum Michelle is quoted as saying.
