Fall


I wasn't really ready for fall to come yet - summer seemed even shorter than usual. I'm settling into it though and trying to enjoy it. I do like this time of getting into routines and starting up new activities. Caden starts preschool today. I think he'll really enjoy that. We'll be registering him for skating lessons tonight. It's nice to have things going on, to some degree. At the same time - I don't want to overdo it. I was realizing that in a couple more years, I will likely have about 16 years of running kids to activities. So - no rush!!

The kids look cute in their sweats and warmer clothes. Went through everything last week and put away summer stuff, got rid of pants and shirts that had grown too small over the past couple of months. Pulled out the bigger stuff (Because of some of you wonderful people out there, I get to shop at home. We have been given so much - I can't say enough how much we appreciate it!) and found that we have boots that fit, lots of shoes to fit everyone, fall jackets and winter jackets for everyone. We are in pretty good shape without even having to shop.

I figured out halloween costumes for the kids last night. We have enough that fit, just here in our dressup box (thanks to you that passed those down as well!). I won't always be able to get away with dressing them up the way I want but for now - it'll be what we have.

I also dug out my old fall decorations. Can't put a whole lot out because of the kids still wanting to play with everything but I like to do a few things.


Another silver lining for the weather changing and the time of year - The kids slept until 7:35 this morning. That is pretty unheard of these days. The darker mornings will benefit us that way I expect.


I'm also really excited to make soup. I love soup on a cool day. If you have any great recipes for cozy fall soups - let me know!

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...

Just the 6 of us now

I haven't blogged for a few days. It's been busy around here! But lots of fun. I'm feeling very tired tonight and will likely go to bed soon! We had a fun weekend with Justin's mom and Adam and Trinda and their kids. Trinda took some pictures for us again. Keep watching and I'll post some when I get them - it'll be a couple of weeks likely. Caden had SO much fun with his cousins, as he always does. They just go downstairs and we don't hear from them for a long time. Just some laughing and an occasional scrap. The triplets are eating ALOT and we're seeing them continue to fill out and get heavier. Things are going well. Justin's mom went home tonight so it's just the 6 of us this week. Justin is taking some holidays now. It'll be a nice time together. I'm looking forward to it but I know it'll be tougher now that our overnight help is gone. A baby is crying and Caden needs to be put to bed soon so I have to go.... Here ...

An Exciting Day

Hello friends! I'm having a very exciting day. Today is the day that I received my new logo! Can I just tell you all that if you can get a sister in law that is a fabulous graphic designer - absolutely do it!  If not - I'm so sorry for you but maybe you can use mine? Just say my name and she might squeeze you in between all her other clients.  She very patiently worked with me to come up with a logo that is neat and simple. I love it. Here it is: Check out her website here . And you can like my facebook page here .
