My big boys

The little kids are so adorable at this age (22 months). Oh my goodness. I can't stop hugging them and I just want to squish them, they are so sweet. Liam dances around all the time. He works out with me in the mornings and does the moves pretty well actually! Evan is so observant. When we sweep he waits and then runs to open the garbage can for us to dump the dust pan. He also gets upset when things aren't the way they should be. He'll stand and point until we respond by putting something where it was supposed to go or other things like that. Dylan seems to be getting bigger faster these days. He's up to Caden's chin already. He's very logical and I can already sort of explain things to him and he seems to get it or to listen. He's also very stubborn and hard headed so there are times when he doesn't want to listen and fights me on something. They love to run and watch their dad come home at the end of the day. He gets quite a greeting from his 4 boys. It's pretty sweet. Dylan cries when I leave the house and Evan and Liam cry when Justin leaves. Liam can actually say "I love you" now and is probably getting tired of us making him do it. But, oh my goodness, it's so cute.

Caden is so big and smart and energetic. He is asking how to tell time and what day it is, what month it is. He's figuring out what time of day it is. He's always asking, is it naptime? Is it bed time (he's getting confused on that because of it getting darker earlier. He asked that yesterday, while we were at the table eating supper :) ). He loves preschool. He told me yesterday that he was feeling shy to meet new people. But when we got there, after hesitating to go in for about 20 seconds, he went right in and started playing and I left. He's so social, he can't be shy for long.

So, the kids seem to be doing well. There are always the struggles but that's being a mom right? They still get up too early and fight A LOT. We still bicker about how much tv to watch and what we are eating. Even Liam points at the TV and says the word "tv". Oh brother!

I love them so much and can't believe that this is my family! How lucky am I!!

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...

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.

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...
