Lucky Lucky Me

Caden and I are filling the pools today and I realized that lots of kids are starting school this week or next and that this is my last summer to not have to worry about that. Wow. So - while some kids are going to school, mine are in the backyard playing in the pool. How lucky are we? And how lucky am I that I get to play outside with my kids on a hot summer day and I don't have to be in an office. Sure, I am busy and there is lots to do but I don't have to answer to anyone. Someday, I'll be back at work wishing I could be home. That's a while away, likely. And maybe when I'm doing that we'll be able to travel and eat out and go to the fair :) but in the meantime I guess we sacrifice some stuff for 'the good stuff', like the song by Kenny Chesney talks about. THIS is the good stuff, family and friends and summertime. LOVE IT.

Most of you know that I worked in a couple of daycare centers before I had kids and we cooked meals, made snacks, washed floors, vacuumed, dusted. All of that stuff. I remember wishing I was at home with my own kids so that at the end of the day it was MY house that was washed, dusted and vacuumed. Well, here I am! And surrounded by the cutest and funniest kids ever. Lucky lucky me!

Lucky Lucky you and me :)

I have only Isaac at home this year. That's different! And I really wasn't ready to "get rid" of my kids for school, today. But I am soooo thankful I still have two more years with at least one of them at home! :)

ENJOY!!!!!

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.
