Feeling good and having fun.

We have had such a great week. I've been feeling more cheerful and like myself than I have in a long long time. Life is really really good. It might be because it is christmas time or maybe that I've come out of some sort of fog. I'm feeling incredibly grateful for our family and our friends. I'm surrounded by the most fantastic people. Anyway - here are some pictures from the last few days. Warning - there are quite a few this time.

Craig and Leah and Lena came over one night. Caden got a wild ride.



Caden just loves this little baby girl. He keeps asking for a baby sister.
Here he was rubbing Lena's back. So Sweet.
Now a few pictures of Dylan the Daring. He climbs right up on our chairs now. It's kind of nice that we haven't gotten nice ones yet because these ones we can just fold up so that he can't use them. You can see on the screen that he has opened a few windows. Yikes.
Only a few minutes later he climbed up onto the coffee table.
Pretty proud of himself. The little stinker.

Now for our adventure to the mall. We loaded up all the kids when Justin got home from work on thursday night. Santa was having a little cookie break so we wandered around for a few minutes until he came back.
Played with the merchandise


The kids in their new stroller that they got for their birthday.
Now we have one that fits in the van for outings such as this one. They have to be strapped in though. Their only goal in life is to get out of and on top of things.




We got in line second and as we've gotten used to - the guy in line in front of us asked "three of a kind?" and I said yes but then he said "these three are three of a kind too!" He had 7 year old triplet girls and then one younger daughter. 4 girls! It was neat. We chatted a little. The mom had them all dressed alike but had them each do their own picture. Mine were dressed differently but had to share a picture. It's funny how you wonder what is the best thing. Should they each get their own? Should they be dressed the same? And then I think - at least we did it at all! Caden was perfect. He's such a good kid. I was really hoping that I wouldn't have to be in the picture but as you can see - I did. No one cried but Dylan wanted to run around and Evan couldn't stop looking at Santa. He was quite intrigued. Liam sat perfectly but with that really unimpressed look on his face. It makes me happy that we got there!

Friday morning was Caden's little preschool christmas concert. He didn't sing out as loud here as he had in practice but he participated and didn't get too shy being up there. I hope he ends up like his dad - loving to perform and not a big chicken like me.

We wish you a merry christmas sung underwater
A gift from Ms. Gray

Hanging with Grandma and Grandpa Mooney. Liam giving kisses. Notice he has his tongue sticking out. He is the most 'french' of my kids but really!
Early christmas - presents from Calgary. Thank you so much! Caden was so pumped. He ran around jumping up and down over his gifts. It was so much fun.

The babies opened some of their own gifts. Soon figuring out that
there was something in those bags and packages!

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...
