Goodbye to a sweet little friend

It's been a few days since I blogged. It has been full and busy and fun and not so fun. A little of everything. I plan on posting pictures and telling a couple of stories but that will wait til later (maybe even later today if I have a chance). But this blog is to tell of the sad end of our sweet little volkswagen Jetta. Nothing dramatic like a big car accident or anything. I'm afraid that it appears to be dying of old age. We took it in yesterday and there are a few things needing work. We couldn't afford to fix it even if we wanted to but it wouldn't be worth it anyway. So ya - the last vestige of our life 'before triplets' is gone. It'll be missed! (so will having a second vehicle but what can ya do!). It's funny how something like that can bring you some sentimental moments. We have a lot of memories with that car. We took some trips with that car. We went back and forth for IVF full of emotions in that car. We brought Caden home in that car. Caden and I zipped around together in it when he was little. It was a fun little car. Guess now I need to fall in love with our minivan...

Two quick thoughts....

1. Memories....
a. Driving back into Dauphin after seeing Keith Urban at Countryfest singing at the top of our lungs
b. Justin freezing me and 4 other guys on the way to Carlyle at Men's retreat... cold night, windows and sun roof open - he had the heater cranked for himself
c. Justin and me coming back from skiing and him saying "Let's see how fast this car can go" - it was scary.

2. I think Justin sabotaged the Jetta! He just wanted to drive the minivan exclusively.... Justin loves his minivan.... Justin loves his minivan :)

So what happens to it now? Does this mean that Justin buys a motorcycle to go back and forth to work with (I will sell him mine!) Cheap - good on gas - looks cooler than a minivan. :)

I will miss the Jetta too. :(

PS. The girls will be sad.... they planned to buy that car off of you guys when they were ready to drive. We all had fun times in that car with you guys. :)

Wow, that poor little car has been through a lot, and I have a lot of memories with that one too....

Remember driving to Dauphin and the bubble gum on the steering wheel incident? That was hilarious!

Anywho....RIP little Jetta, RIP!

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.
