Christmastime

All we need is snow and things would be just right for Christmas! Justin has more time off this year than he has in ages and the kids are all old enough to really get into all the fun stuff of the holiday season. I've been putting off blogging until I put the latest pictures up but that might have to wait until later. We have decorated the tree and made gingerbread houses and watched many a Christmas special. We've even opened a few gifts here ahead of time before we go away for a few days. We've done some baking and just enjoyed being at home with the Christmas tree lights on, hanging out. Caden had a small winter celebration just in the kindergarten classroom. It was cute to see him singing his songs and watching the dynamics with the kids in his class. I really like going to see him at school, where he spends so much of his time. So far, I look forward to parent teacher meeting and school concerts. I know that may change, but then again, it may not! I'm all for the cheesy stuff and seeing my kids all excited about their stuff is fun. So - I have pictures of all of these goings on but I don't know when I'll get those posted. Either way - Happy Holidays to everybody. Hope people are looking forward to a nice family holiday!

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.

Want a Little Freedom?

Stay in your lane. Don't look at other people's papers. Those couple of lines jumped out at me as I read Maria Goff's book " Love Lives Here" It reminded me that we can't all live the same life. Comparisons hold us back and discourage us like nothing else. We have fears of being different when we are SUPPOSED to be different. I grew up trying to fit in and not doing a very good job at it. When I was in my teens I thought I'd try a new approach so I started trying to be the opposite of what I was because I thought that is what everyone else wanted me to be. I am chatty and energetic and I tried to be dainty and quiet. I didn't do a very good job of that either. Yikes. Trying to be someone we're not is exhausting and it doesn't work. We seldom fool anyone or achieve the goal we thought we wanted. What we all really want I think, is to connect with one another and to matter. As an adult I have had goals and held them up against other p...
