Scuba

I was hoping Justin might blog about this and who knows - maybe he will sometime. He has started taking Scuba Diving lessons towards a certification. If I have it right he does 3 written tests, 3 pool times and 2 open water dives to get it. Right now he has done 2 of the tests, one pool and one open water dive. This is something that has been on his "no opportunity wasted" / "things to do before I die" list. He's pretty excited to be going for it.

He did his open water dive last sunday up by Rowan's Ravine and apparently the water was really dirty and murky so he couldn't see much but it'll be worth it when he goes to Mexico or somewhere and dives in the beautiful ocean water.

I, on the other hand, have no desire to do that. I'm too claustrophobic and I hate the feeling of living things swimming against my legs and stuff. Not a real nature girl I guess. I do recognize that I'll really be missing out on a beautiful experience and in seeing more of God's beautiful handi work. Isn't it something that even areas that people seldom see are just alive with life?

I think he is going to do another test and pool time on friday. Then another open water dive and he'll have his first scuba diving certification. Pretty cool.

That's pretty cool. I thought about getting certified too, before Mexico. Do we know when we're going yet?!!

They are here. They are really really here!!!

It was a cool day. Almost too cold. The kind of cold that makes you rethink your very existence.... Boy. I am waaaay to tired for that. So I will give you the un-dramatic version. So, we are getting bombarded with requests for an update and pictures. So I will oblige and provide you with all the gory details. Actually, there are no gory details. In what can only be described as an amazing answer to many prayers, the new Mooney babies were brought into this world with no problems what so ever. We entered the hospital at 10:00 in the morning and were taken to the surgery room around 12:00 noon. At exactly 12:38, the first baby, Dylan Michael was born weighing in at 6 pounds even. Then, also at 12:38, Evan Timothy also charged into the world weighing in at 5.2 pounds. Then, at 12:39 Liam David was born weighing 4.8 pounds. For those of you good at math, that is a whopping 16 pounds worth of babies. 16 POUNDS!!! And even though them just being born at 36 weeks and 5 days isn...

Just the 6 of us now

I haven't blogged for a few days. It's been busy around here! But lots of fun. I'm feeling very tired tonight and will likely go to bed soon! We had a fun weekend with Justin's mom and Adam and Trinda and their kids. Trinda took some pictures for us again. Keep watching and I'll post some when I get them - it'll be a couple of weeks likely. Caden had SO much fun with his cousins, as he always does. They just go downstairs and we don't hear from them for a long time. Just some laughing and an occasional scrap. The triplets are eating ALOT and we're seeing them continue to fill out and get heavier. Things are going well. Justin's mom went home tonight so it's just the 6 of us this week. Justin is taking some holidays now. It'll be a nice time together. I'm looking forward to it but I know it'll be tougher now that our overnight help is gone. A baby is crying and Caden needs to be put to bed soon so I have to go.... Here ...

An Exciting Day

Hello friends! I'm having a very exciting day. Today is the day that I received my new logo! Can I just tell you all that if you can get a sister in law that is a fabulous graphic designer - absolutely do it!  If not - I'm so sorry for you but maybe you can use mine? Just say my name and she might squeeze you in between all her other clients.  She very patiently worked with me to come up with a logo that is neat and simple. I love it. Here it is: Check out her website here . And you can like my facebook page here .
