He did it!!

The one big project on my mind the last little while has been to get Evan potty trained so that he can go to Pre-K in the fall.  He just wasn't into it and I went up and down from being positive and motivated to completely frustrated and wanting to just throw my hands in the air.  That is how it usually goes though right!  It's all about expectations so I tried to lower mine and let him take his time.  The only real issue for me is that I don't want him to miss out on Pre-K because of it.  Anyway - we have been bumbling through this for weeks now.  I've honestly never had this much trouble potty training anyone and certainly never had a kid this old that wasn't.  And I'm talking about my own and the daycare kids I've had.  I've done this many times.  You'd think I'd get it!  It's just proof that every kid really is different and unique in how they do things.  

All that so that I can update - and remember, when you are in the middle of it, potty training a child is the biggest thing you think about so forgive me for having to share. 

Evan has been going to the potty, on his own, ALL DAY!  That is MAJOR, MAJOR news around here, believe me!  So I'm pretty excited and hopeful.  Thank goodness that we finally broke through whatever the barrier was for him.  It's a huge relief!  I just had to shout it from the cyber- mountaintop!

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 .
