Life

I've been feeling like I should be sharing a little about what is going on in our lives right now. We've had some company and done some visiting. We are keeping busy with teaching Sunday school and doing some church bookkeeping. Justin's work has slowed down but he is still somewhat busy with stuff there. Caden is enjoying library class on Monday mornings. He is still really into trains, construction stuff and footballs, basketballs, tennis balls, soccer balls, pucks and on and on. He likes to color and paint some and is more and more into books all the time. We have some struggles with getting him to eat and sometimes with getting him to nap in the afternoon. We just keep plugging along. Things are good.


AND ...


we are going to do IVF again. I did mention it once before and there really isn't much to say. We go to Calgary on March 7th or so and will be back the next week sometime. The pregnancy test will be around the 21st of March.

I'm having trouble knowing what to write. I keep deleting stuff. I just have so many thoughts and feelings when we go through this. The main thing is that I want to trust God, in this and in everything in my life. These experiences have made me so aware of how much I struggle to give Him the control and that it would appear that I think I have a better idea of how my life should go than He does. Isn't that crazy? But when I make plans and think they should all come to pass - it's pretty much me saying - I'm smarter. How ridiculous! I will really try to let go and I will keep reminding myself that things will work out the way that they should. I am definitely still hoping that God will give us another little newborn baby to hold in our arms. But if that doesn't happen - it needs to be ok. And it will.

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 ...

Did you know?

So, did you know that exercising regularly can help you have more energy!? Okay, so did I. And did you know that eating healthily also helps with that? As does going to bed at a decent time at night? I guess we all know that but I haven't been good at acting like I know that. I was getting frustrated. I was just so tired in the evenings. I wasn't having the kind of quality time with my kids or my husband that I wanted. I didn't feel like going out with friends in the evening. I was okay during the day but that's not when I am with my people, for the most part anyway. Sometimes, I would fall asleep on the couch before my kids bedtime!! If I wasn't asleep, I was lethargic and unmotivated. Just not the me that I wanted to be. It doesn't sound like much, but I just couldn't stand wanting to be intentional but not having the energy to do the things that mattered to me. And my kids are 9,9,9 and 11. That's old enough that I can't use the...
