Day five

Well, 5 days of the intense potty training with Evan and it appears that we have gotten no where. Who knows - maybe he is just one hour away from getting it? How can I know? I have decided to let it go for now and give him some more time. He's just so laid back and really doesn't care. He's peed all over the house for 5 days. I am done with that. Thankfully Dylan is still doing well so I don't feel like a total failure. Liam asks to pee all the time so I will likely try the 3 day thing with him this weekend. I'm going to give myself a couple of days off though. This has been draining and frustrating.

We took Caden and Evan to swimming lessons last night. Evan seemed to enjoy it. He pays no attention whatsoever to what the teacher is saying to do. He just has fun. He's so in his own world but he's pretty happy there so who says that has to be a bad thing? I'm just glad that they got to get out of the house and do something!

Speaking of getting out of the house - I finally got out a few times on saturday and it's a good thing because I was about to lose my mind. I'm already starting to feel cabin fever again. Oh summer , SUMMER! I miss you so so much. And I am determined to be grateful instead of complaining. For example, I'm grateful that January - my least favorite month - is over now!

Kim, Ronan was the absolute SAME way - he didn't care if he peed in his pants, he cared if I tried to change him! He was so darn laid back, it nearly broke me... but he's made that way for a reason!

And like Brent's grandma would say to me, how many kids do you see in diapers once they start school?

He will be ready when he's ready, and not the other way around.

Hugs, Laura

Yes, give yourself a break. The boys are still in diapers, they pee in the potty hit and miss and I don't even worry about it (that may not necessarily be a good thing). I took this entire coming summer off so I plan to get it all taken care of then. I, too, can't wait for summer!

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 .
