WE ONLY GET ONE LIFE TO LIVE!

I think about these words all the time.  I (try to) use them to make decisions and to think about how to live each day and to work on my negative attitudes.  I struggle to balance all the different areas of importance - as we all do.  We have to dream about the future and be happy/content in the present.  We have to do the dishes AND spend time with our children.  Balance. 

I also don't think this is a selfish and secular thought.  God gave us this life and He expects us to Live it Fully and to me, that means always trying to hear what it is that God wants us to do with it.  Not what do I WANT (although there is something to be said for the desires that God puts on our hearts).  We can waste our time or we can try to get and give the most that we can within it. 

Fear is a big problem here.  I want to work on my fears.  I think they are stopping me from pushing myself to do and be more and better.

This is where my mind is these days.  I really want to make this Life all that it can and should be. 

As you can see, I am looking for a new look for my blog.  This one isn't quite right.  I need my fantastically talented live in tech provider to help me but I hope to cheer this page up a bit!  I am still going to write a lot about the kids and use this as a way for our families and friends to keep up with us  but I think I'll also use it to talk about some of the things that matter to me.  It's fun to get other people's thoughts and comments so please share what you think and let me know you are out there!

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 .
