Another first

Yesterday was the boys' first time going on a walk around Wascana Park. Since Caden was born in May, he spent just about every day of his first 4 months doing that but these poor boys have been mostly just stuck in the house. We were going to try and take them out on wednesday but it was winter weather (GRRR!!) so we postponed it to thursday where all we got was some rain (still grr!) but really it was fine. It sprinkled on us a little here and there but nothing too crazy. Caden almost made it all the way around (for those of you that don't know - it would take an adult about 45 minutes of steady walking to get around) without tiring out. I was pretty impressed. Leah came over and we loaded the kids into the van, drove 8 blocks to the park, unloaded everyone and put them into strollers and headed off. The babies were perfect. Didn't fuss or anything the whole time. We were there for 2 hours, including at least half an hour at the park. It was so great to get out and have a little adventure. Thank goodness for friends who don't mind the chaos!! Thanks Leah.


Liam on the swings. He napped on the first part of the walk.

Dylan crashed at the end of the walk and didn't get to play at the park. Made it easier for us to manage the 3 we did have awake.

Caden LOVED the walk but was especially glad to finally get to the park. A couple of kids befriended him so he had a fun time. He wouldn't stop bouncing for me to take a picture so it's a little fuzzy.
I thought it was worth the effort!

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...
