Update

We have been incredibly busy since my last post. In that month and half we have gone to Calgary to see Thomas the Train and have a fun weekend with the Mooney side of our family. I will still try to post a few pictures when I get a little more time. Once we got home we jumped into a kitchen renovation and have been doing that for the past 3 weeks. My dad and Justin's brother Josh came out and gave up their free time to help us. My brother Chris helped us out with some demo when we needed it most. We are so appreciative and have to admit that we would have been out of luck without their help. We can tell that we are going to enjoy this kitchen so much with many memories to made in the heart of the home. We can't wait to have people over and just have fun with it. It's exciting.

We are tired and I have to admit, it's a bit of a feat to live in the mess and chaos with four little boys and still feed them and the adults. I couldn't keep up with everything but I think I finally have the laundry caught up and now we have things in our cupboards, I finally mowed today and will soon get some groceries. For the first time in weeks, we ate a normal meal at our table that we actually cooked in the oven. It was lovely. So - normalcy is creeping back in. I'm looking forward to relaxing some time in the future!

So - that's where we have been. I'll try to post pics soon and fill in a bit about the boys. they are changing so much! Caden went to his Kindergarten orientation day last week. Time is flying by!

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 ...
