Liam pulls up to standing! (and also crawls through things)

Liam has started pulling up on things but he also likes to go under and into things. He's always under the exersaucer or under the table when we go somewhere. Here he is going through our coffee table. He's not very happy here but he does this fairly regularly and is usually happy about it. We just had to get a picture of this. I'll have to get a happy one sometime :)

Liam has also been pulling himself up to standing lately. He just pulled up to the coffee table today. He's not as tall as the other boys so he does better pulling up to shorter things. Evan was trying to pull up on some carpeted stairs yesterday and wasn't quite getting it but it won't be long I don't think.

Yesterday I actually dressed the boys exactly the same for church. We have been given so many clothes that I am just using what we have and so they don't usually match. These shirts were a steal of a deal and I just had to buy them. They are all different sizes but so are the boys so it works!! We went to friends' after church and lined the boys up to compare heights. It's a little hard to see it in this picture but Liam is a couple of inches shorter than the other two.

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...
