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

The 2 Week Wait is Over

The waiting is finally over. Today was the day - after 2 long weeks of waiting - that I went for my official pregnancy test at the dr.'s office. I had done a couple of Home Pregnancy Tests so I pretty much knew what to expect. I have been praying constantly, as have many of you out there (thank you so much for that). Well, God heard all of us and we are happy to report that the test came back positive. We are really happy but also very cautious . It was only 5 months ago today that we lost our pregnancy at 5 1/2 weeks. We are going to just continue praying that God will watch over this pregnancy and that a healthy baby will be born. We give Thanks to God !
