Soccer Season Has Begun

Yesterday was the beginning of the soccer season and it was a really nice night. Caden is on team Greece and had a fantastic time. I just love how exuberant he is about things. He hasn't learned yet that culturally he's supposed to tone it down and I wasn't about to tell him. Express yourself while you still feel free to do it!! Anyway - he met new people, chose a new soccer best friend and scored a goal. I absolutely loved getting to watch him and his friends together. Such a nice night.

The little boys start tonight and Justin is coaching. I can hardly wait to see how that is going to go. This age is just about pointing them in the right direction and hoping they play instead of crying on the sidelines - oh and reminding them not to touch the ball with their hands. It'll be incredibly cute. This is our life for May and June. Caden plays at 7 on Mondays and Wednesdays and the little boys play at 6 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We're lucky though because about a 1/3 of those games are in the field behind our house. Precious memories to be made! I'll try to get pictures of the little boys on the blog tomorrow.

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.

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...
