Tonight

Our night was lots of fun. I just love my kids. Anyway - here's Caden at gymnastics. He loves going so much.
Balance Beam



Trampoline

Doing 'the star'
I had to lighten these pics - none of them were very good in the gym.
But here he is on the rings and the bars.



This was our welcome when we got home. How lucky are we to get a welcome like this! The boys came flying from every corner of the room when they heard us come home. It was pretty special!

Caden says he's a 'hero' because he can lift this up. He says he's pretty strong!

Now - what do you think? Do we risk it or not? I pulled out our artificial tree and put it up just to see what the kids think of it. I'm not sure it's a good idea to put ornaments on it but I'm kind of a Christmassy person and I'd be sad if I couldn't put up a tree... But is it worth it?

Dylan and Evan both eyed it up for a long time before they approached it (and yes, if you look hard you can see the branches camouflaged in the carpet. Pretty sneaky hey :)

Evan touched it a couple of times and then wandered off. Liam wasn't interested at all - or he just didn't notice it. Dylan kept trying some light touches. We'll have to see what happens tomorrow. What do you think?

Yes, yes, yes, put up the tree no matter what, decorate it, if you have to put a baby shield around it then fine, but it's Christmas.... :)

You know I know you Jen, you just gotta!

Miss you, Kenny and I just put up our first tree together, so exciting! Don't miss out on this special time!

Tie the tree to the wall, and take a trip to the dollar store to get as many soft, cheep, non-breakable ornaments as you can. Put them all on the bottom where the kids can take them off and on as much as they want. It may not be the 'prettiest' tree, but it will be well loved.

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.

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...
