Another quick update

What a day! What a week! I feel exhausted - but in a good way. I've been up to see dad once a day over the past 3 days. He's resting lots. He looks great today, has been up and walking a bit. He's eating and sitting up. Things are going well. They are keeping his blood pressure in check and giving him stuff for pain. He's down to just taking Tylenol for that though. It's amazing.

Next week is Caden's birthday so I've got to get organized for that. He wants a hockey birthday. Should be fun. We got tickets to see Max and Ruby and Banana's in Pajamas at the arts center. Last year we went to see Thomas the Tank Engine in Calgary. I haven't had to plan much of anything for his birthdays so far !! Lucky me. Although I must admit, buying these tickets has made me mourn the Tim McGraw and Bon Jovi days. Oh, well!!

And for those of you looking for baby updates, I promise to take some pictures and video and get something on here before too long! They are doing great and getting so big. It's just amazing! Love it!

Tim McGraw is headlining at Dauphin's Countryfest this year.... I think tickets are sold out though. :(

But really, who would you rather see, him or Bananas in Pajamas - I know which one I would prefer :)

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...

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....
