Sometimes I don't blog because I have nothing much to say. Today I have too much going on in my mind to get it down properly. My lack of blogs though - makes me feel a responsibility to say hello to everyone that checks in on us. I am getting more organized these days and am hoping to be getting on here a little more. I am writing now, while the kids are awake, and am realizing my mistake already. There have been potty breaks and fights and a few warnings against bad behaviour already and I've just begun. So I am not at all focused and so this will likely make no sense and be a total waste of your time. So - if nothing else, let this be a little note to say I am still out here and I do still intend to blog. I need to get some pictures up and fill you in on how the kids are doing this first day of March. I guess that means that in two days they will be 30 months old. Caden is 2 months from his 5th birthday and we actually have his kindergarten info meeting on thursday night already. WOW.

I was at Ladies Retreat this past weekend and have been recharged. It was the break that I needed to stay sane. Can I go again in a couple of weeks? :)

Life is good. I have dared myself to seek out the positives even in this deep freeze and in the midst of what can be called 'stay at home drudgery'. I've been encourage by the book 'one thousand gifts' and I think it would be valuable for anyone reading this.

Ok - there is crying that might be signaling injury so I need to end this for now - oh - now 2 are crying that pain filled cry. Gotta go! Oh dear - there is blood....

"And a few warnings against bad behaviour"...
Was that part about the boys or their mom? Just asking. :)

And don't worry about the blood (as long as it isn't "Trip to the hospital" level).... bloody noses etc are just "liquid stories" - things to be remembered and laughed about later on (though I guess that would require them actually remembering - therefore no concussions - and being able to speak enough to verbalize the story.... so this may actually apply more to later on in life - but the principle still applies - Generally a little blood means boys have been having fun) :)

Anyway - hope you guys have a good week.... it would be nice to hang out with y'all sometime.

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...

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 ...
