The great outdoors, post 2 of 3

Yes, to me, the great outdoors are a backyard or a city park. Who are you to judge? Anyway - we are having so much fun spending most of our days outside. We even eat meals outside and I lug exersaucers and high chairs, blankets, toys, diapers, wipes and on and on, all outside so that we can enjoy our summer while it lasts.

Here are the boys in a wagon at a friends place

This is a good representation of the boys at their individual stages. Liam can sit up quite well for a minute or two, Evan does not bother to try but is always mr. happy pants and Dylan has moved on from sitting to constantly moving without pause....well, unless he comes across a stray bottle that he can steal and suck dry.

I try to put Dylan in the exersaucer as much as he will go without fussing. Otherwise he is eating plants, dirt and so on. He does not stay on the blanket we put out that's for sure.

Well, grandpa Mooney, your look-a-like may be like you
in more than just looks... He's a book man. At least in this moment.

Luckily for me I have lots of friends who like me and my babies. I had 5 different girlfriends either visit or have us over, within the past 4 days. THANK YOU for giving me adult conversation and for the help. It is what keeps me sane - I think I'm sane anyway.

It's been a fun week with the sun shining and lots of fresh air. YAY!

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...

Am I really having triplets?

What does a person blog about the day before they have triplets? I mean - there are a million things going through my head but I can hardly sort them out, let alone write them down. It's all just very amazing, surreal, scary, exhilarating and on and on and on. I think there is just too much so I'll just ask that you pray for all of us and we'll try to post news as soon as we can. I likely won't be at the computer til the end of the week (if ever again :) ) but Justin will check it and try to update everyone.

Want a Little Freedom?

Stay in your lane. Don't look at other people's papers. Those couple of lines jumped out at me as I read Maria Goff's book " Love Lives Here" It reminded me that we can't all live the same life. Comparisons hold us back and discourage us like nothing else. We have fears of being different when we are SUPPOSED to be different. I grew up trying to fit in and not doing a very good job at it. When I was in my teens I thought I'd try a new approach so I started trying to be the opposite of what I was because I thought that is what everyone else wanted me to be. I am chatty and energetic and I tried to be dainty and quiet. I didn't do a very good job of that either. Yikes. Trying to be someone we're not is exhausting and it doesn't work. We seldom fool anyone or achieve the goal we thought we wanted. What we all really want I think, is to connect with one another and to matter. As an adult I have had goals and held them up against other p...
