The past week

It has been a very full week - as most are, in one way or another. We started out, last week, by getting our evergreen in our backyard cut down. Now I don't have to worry about pine needles in the kids sandbox and in the grass. We will plant more grass so the kids have more play area back there. It'll be a big project but worth it in the end. And less maintenance! "yay" says this yardwork hater.


Then my parents came last weekend and we dared to take the kids out to a sit down restaurant for the first time. I'm glad my parents were willing because we could never have tried this on our own. I thought they did really well. We went to Montana's because they are used to kids and because it's always noisy in there. We went earlier than the rush so we would get seated and get our order in before everyone else's got in there. So - we played with them and kept them busy and then when the food came, they sat and ate quite well. We still wouldn't take them out with just the two of us but overall it went much better than I expected. We didn't have take any of them out to walk around or anything like that. Thank goodness.

Caden had just gotten this game player for his birthday so that kept him busy for awhile.

Yesterday morning we took the kids for their immunizations. They each did really well. We decided this time though, to take them each in separately because we didn't want them to see what happened to their brothers and then get scared. So - they each got a needle in both arms and a leg. They all cried a little bit but then calmed right down so that was good. We weighed them too.

Dylan is 26 lbs 8 oz and 32.5 inches tall
Evan is 24 lbs 6 oz and 31.5 inches tall
Liam is 21 lbs 8 oz and 30 inches tall
Since we were there and had time left, I decided to get Caden's 4 yr old booster shot too. That was nice - saved us another trip. He did fine. Now the little kids don't go again until they are 4 and Caden is done til grade 6. The kids didn't seem to be too bothered by it. They were very much their usual selves all day so that was good.

Every tuesday and thursday Caden has outdoor soccer. Here are a few pictures of him scoring a goal last night.



It was nice enough that I was able to come and to bring the little kids. That was ok but they are really into going 3 absolutely opposite directions and Dylan kept wanting to go into the games being played around us. It was nice to have the stroller. I could put a kid in there to wait while I went off to gather another one up and bring him back to us. It was a bit of a gong show but overall it went well and I got to watch Caden play for some of the time. It was nice to all be out together.

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 !
