The week

It's been a week since our last blog and it's been quite a week. All 3 of us ended up with the flu - all on different days at least but it made for a long week. We are trying to get the condo all ready to sell and haven't gotten much done because of being sick. Last saturday we did a lot - and my parents came and helped which was great - but not much since then. Tonight we get back on track and hopefully by tomorrow night we'll be done. I am just SO TIRED all the time. And for some reason I am worrying a lot lately - about everything.

Caden's birthday is next week - we are going to Calgary for this one and I just don't feel quite ready. But I want this to be a good one because his life is about to be flipped upside down. He's about to have SO MANY changes that I worry a little about how he'll do or I guess - more that we'll do the right things to make it as easy as possible on him. I know kids adapt really well but they also have emotions that they don't know how to express so I hope we do right by him through all of this.

I'm also tired of the weather. I've been tired of the weather since November. I'm sure the warmth is just around the corner right? I certainly hope so.

A really great thing - My brother Chris and his wife Sherry had another little girl. She was born on April 21st. Her name is Elizabeth Ann. We haven't gotten to see her yet but I'm hoping we'll get to soon.

That pretty much sums up our week. We are excited about all that is happening and feel very blessed but at the same time - it's a lot to take in and life has gotten pretty overwhelming lately.

I need to trust God more and I need to give all of this over to Him. Why is it always so hard to do that? I'll be working on that.....

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...
