2nd Annual Northwest Church of Christ Retreat



For the second year in a row we headed out to Clearview Camp for our church retreat. This was just this past weekend and it was really fun. I never know how things are going to go with all these little kids and can't help but be a little nervous but at the same time, I'm determined to do as much with them as I can and to not limit their life experiences because it's harder with 3 the same age. So - we went out there and had a really good time. It's nice to get to spend bigger chunks of time with our church family and for the kids to get to know everyone better. It was so nice to see them hanging out with all of these people and having so much fun. Nights were a lot better than last year. They woke up early still but at least they slept through the night. Last year we were still giving them the occasional bottle at night and I had to bring all our formula and stuff. Yikes. This year they could run around so we brought our play yard but we didn't end up needing to use it. It was great. Meals were tough because my times to eat were either when they were eating, which is nearly impossible or when they were done which was impossible because once they were done, they were outta there. I never ate so fast in my life! :) It was wonderful though to have lots of people around to help out and to get a few breaks.

Another nice thing for us, was seeing our kids loving it at Clearview Christian Camp. We have so many memories there from when we were kids at camp, to when we were counsellors and then, as adults during our time on the board (ok - Justin's time on the board) when we spent weekend after weekend out there with good friends. We love it there and are excited to share it with our kids. They all loved it out there too. It was great. We did get some rain but not until later on. I didn't take very many pictures but here are a few.

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 !
