The past couple of weeks

We've had a really good last couple of weeks. We had a bit of a frustration because Evan was starting to wake up more and more in the night. At one point he was up every two hours. Not ok with me! We had been wondering if he was running into the sides of the crib and sure enough that was what was happening (we heard a big thunk one night and then the screaming began). He has now been in a play pen for a week and is sleeping through the night. Beautiful! Anyway - here are a few shots of life over the past little while.

- eating it is the best part

regular painting. They liked this even though they didn't get to eat it. And I think they preferred not getting their hands in it!

Thanksgiving Weekend is also Western's lectureship and we were happy to have the Pippus Crew spend the weekend with us. We went to Wascana Park and Candy Cane Park - the weather was fantastic.

The boys

The kids had a lot more story times with 4 more people to read to them! not to mention play with them and just enjoy them. It was very sweet to see. They are lucky boys.

So cute...

This past friday we had movie night. Our first official one. I loved seeing the boys all in a row with their snack watching a cartoon movie. Nothing reminds you of the blessing they are like seeing them all lined up like this.

It's all so good!

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...

And the final answer is....

Well, thank you all for your guesses. I found them interesting. I had one person guess 4 babies. I don't let him come to our blog anymore. Well, after 5 months of waiting, we have had the ultrasound and we now know what the gender is for each of the wee little gaffers. If you want to see, click the link below.
