Ok - I'm back onto blogging. I've been having way too much fun and doing way too much 'getting back into the groove' to be on the computer much. I have a few things I want to blog but I'll spread it out a bit. So - we'll start with about 3 weeks ago. You remember - Christmas time. We spent a few days in Calgary for Christmas this year. It was so nice to have everyone together and to see the cousins spending time with each other. Caden and Maggie really enjoyed playing and being silly together. We packed a lot into a few days. We had the kids 'christmas eve' stuff and then we put them to bed and the adults had a gift exchange game time and tonnes of yummy snacks. Judy is a hard working lady and we appreciate all that she does to make our times together so enjoyable and extra special. Thanks! The next day was Christmas with the stockings and gifts and food. Lovely! Our little boys were more into it now that they are older and had fun with it. Oh - and by the way - they travelled both ways perfectly. They slept some, had snacks, watched a few shows, got out once to stretch our legs and we made great time.

Grandpa "santa" Mooney with all the grandkids. Some happy, some not so much!


The brothers (that's the grown up brothers I'm talking about) had a nerf war going on here and there. It's too bad I don't have a picture of Josh because he and Justin spent quite a bit of time 'playing' one night. I guess boys never grow up. Someday I'll have my boys home for the holidays and they'll still be playing with nerf guns!!

Caden was so pleased with everything. Our kids are very spoiled.
It sure is fun to see those young eyes light up though isn't it?

On Christmas afternoon we opened up a couple of the kids' games.
Caden and Maggie had fun playing together.

And that was Christmas 2010. Kids make it so much more Christmassy. It's great to have all these wonderful little people around now to make it so magical. Lucky lucky us!

Thanks Jen...
I enjoyed seeing you and Justin and watching the kids be kids at Christmas. I'm embarrassed to say that we haven't yet opened the popcorn maker or the chocolate fountain yet. Have you had a moment to enjoy your foot spa yet? The "gift exchange" was a riot and I TOTALLY want my own suped-up Nerf gun now. All the best to you Justin and the wee Mooney boys.

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.

A little disconcerting

So, we had another dr's appointment today. Everything is still looking good. We've made it to 33 weeks. That's 3 wks since the dr. originally had me admitted into the hospital. What a relief to not have had to be there this entire time. I'm now measuring 41 weeks and feel HUGE. I can hardly move anymore, let alone breathe. I'm relieved that the babies are still doing well and staying put. The disconcerting part - the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit- where preemies go) here is full. Apparently they sent a lady with twins to Toronto today. AAAHHH! I don't want to fly to Toronto (or Vancouver, according to the dr.). So I CAN'T have these babies yet. And I guess we just pray and hope that whenever these babies do decide to come, that there is room in there for them. Now I'm kind of worrying but I keep just telling myself that God is taking care of us. He's gotten us this far. Plus - If we are really lucky, I'll last 3 more weeks a...
