A very merry christmastime

The weekend before Christmas we got to hang out with Justin's mom and dad and the kids got some grandma and grandpa time. It was lots of fun!


On Christmas Eve we loaded up the van, the trailer that we pull behind the van and last but not least - the kids and headed to our Christmas in Estevan. They traveled really well. They each slept some and when awake they were contented just to sit or to watch the dvd.





Christmas Morning

The stockings for the ten cousins.


The triplets got high chairs that we will be able to push right up to the table and they can use them for a few years. Dylan is already working on getting out of it.

The kids got into opening their stockings and their gifts. They liked ripping stuff open for awhile but then they got tired and whiny so they went to bed for the last part of the gift opening.


Caden was really excited about the whole thing. I think it had that
Christmas Magic feeling that you want for your kids.

We all had lots of fun. The kids got to spend time with their aunts and uncles, grandparents and cousins. On boxing day my cousins - that I grew up having christmas with - came over with their families and we all hung out and ate and played games. There were 13 second cousins there and only 2 were girls! It was neat to see what the years have brought us. Used to be me and my 2 brothers and Kim and Vic on xmas morning. The 5 of us grew up and with our families we are now 25 people! Whew! It was nice to get together! There were also some movies watched and a little tobogganing that went on. It was really really good. It was well worth the packing and lugging and chaos!

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

The 2 Week Wait is Over

The waiting is finally over. Today was the day - after 2 long weeks of waiting - that I went for my official pregnancy test at the dr.'s office. I had done a couple of Home Pregnancy Tests so I pretty much knew what to expect. I have been praying constantly, as have many of you out there (thank you so much for that). Well, God heard all of us and we are happy to report that the test came back positive. We are really happy but also very cautious . It was only 5 months ago today that we lost our pregnancy at 5 1/2 weeks. We are going to just continue praying that God will watch over this pregnancy and that a healthy baby will be born. We give Thanks to God !
