Last week

We just got back from our church retreat at Kenosee Lake. We had a busy time but decided that sleeping in a cabin with a 3 yr. old and 3 10 month olds, while the worst idea we ever had, was worth it in the end!! I'll post some pictures when I have time to go through it - like when my laundry is done and my house is clean - so, maybe never :). For now though, here are a couple of fun things from before we went to camp.

On Friday morning Caden had his first day of preschool. He's going to go once a week for this year. He was pretty excited.


Afterwards we thought "where is the best place to take a kid to celebrate his first day of preschool?" and came up with "starbucks!!" - isn't that where you all go for celebrations with your preschoolers? Ok, truth be told, our motivation was to get our kindly triplet sitter a fancy drink to say thanks but Caden was happy with his treat too!

We also had another first. The 3 babies just had their first bath all together. We used the bumble chair which doesn't really work(it keeps trying to float :) ) so we'll still be looking to get another tub chair. They enjoyed their little bath though. And I think the 3 in a row is pretty cute!


And, I can't remember if I have blogged about this before or not, but Liam just loves to be under and inside of things. Here he is in the shelf. Not sure why. But the why doesn't matter. What matters is that he was busy and happy and not getting into something.

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...

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.
