JOINT BASE MYER-HENDERSON HALL, Va. -- "We were very shocked when we heard we were having quadruplets," said Sgt. Lee Schiefelbein. "It really isn't something we exactly prepared for, but we are so happy for each and every one of them."

Aiden, Brea, Curtis and Dominic Schiefelbein were born on Nov. 19, 2012, at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Md. Five months after the Schiefelbein family welcomed their bundles of joy into the world, the busy family has found having routines, with some help, is the only way to balance military life and taking care of multiple babies.

"We are still getting used to having a larger family now," said Lee, food service sergeant, 529th Regimental Support Company, 4th Battalion, 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard). "It has been a challenge that I am happy to have taken on."

Lee works at the Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, Va. dining facility [DFAC] serving the Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, Sailors and Coast Guardsmen that eat there every day.

"I wake up at 3 a.m. every morning to get to work by 4 a.m.," he said. "My day at the dining facility isn't over until about 2 p.m., and then I head home to help my wife with the babies."
