Summer is coming to an end

So all the kids go back to school soon hey? I guess summer is fading away. Are you all ready for that? I am I guess. We are trying to get things in order before our babies come. It'd be nice to have some idea of when that might be but it's basically sometime between now and the end of oct. :). We've been working on names. I know some of you that have been reading our blog the past little while might have been getting worried. But we are narrowing it down and they are nothing like "tallulah does the hula from hawaii" or "blade" for that matter.

Nothing too much else to tell. The days just keep going by and we keep being grateful for each week that passes without me having to go on complete bedrest or even into the hospital. Justin has actually been fairly busy at work so it wouldn't be a good time in that sense either.

I've been feeling kind of sick - especially if I've been up and around too much - but I'm still sleeping not too bad at night. Caden is still an early riser though. On the really early mornings he just gets to watch cartoons while I sleep on the couch!

Caden starts gymnastics in a couple of weeks. It lasts through to December sometime. I really wanted him to have something of his own and something specific that he goes to, to get him out of the house full of babies (and to have that time just with his dad). He'll have so much fun and he'll get to burn off some energy.

So that's about it around here. Have a good week.

Oh Jen - I thought I was the only mom out there who slept on the couch while the tv baby-sits Ronan! ;) Although, he gets into trouble sometimes which makes me regret the whole thing! Enjoy your time - October is approaching way too quickly. Laura

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...

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...

And the final answer is....
