January


I may have mentioned that I never like January. I started out the month in that same blah state that I usually do but things turned around on my birthday and I've been feeling very un-january-like ever since. I'm sure it helps that the weather has been so much nicer than usual - but still....

Anyway - I'm really working on my attitude about this wintery month. Here are a few things that I enjoy about January:

- getting to snuggle up under a cozy blanket on a cold night
- warm yummy soup and hot drinks
- the sun rises so late than I'm almost always up and often at my kitchen window to enjoy the pinks and purples in the morning. Love it.
- I always get that urge to CLEAN and organize. There's nothing like the feeling after you've vacuumed and dusted every single thing in a room. So fresh. I bought more totes last night. Good stuff.
- Caden getting to go skating with his dad
- the kids in their soft fuzzy pj's
- everything looks so CLEAN
 - it's that time of year where I can't help but be somewhat reflective of where I've been and where I'm going or better yet - what I need to do to get myself and my family headed in the direction we hope to be going. Closer to God and each other. We check out where our priorities have been and we look forward to what a new year will bring. Especially now as each month that passes brings us to yet another stage in our kids' lives. Exciting. So - that's a start. Today is a good day and I'm going to go now and enjoy it!

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.
