First Days

Caden started grade one last week.  He was more than ready.  It took me a couple of days to adjust to having him gone all day.  I missed him.  He's wonderfully conversational so I hear about his day when he comes home and we just spend some time together and chat.  It's so nice.  He's grown up so much.  What a great kid.




Today was the first day of Pre-K for the little boys.  They were also very excited.  We went to the classroom last week for an open house so they knew where they were going and how much fun it is there.  I kept pushing down that lump in my throat and got through it with no tears shed.  I can't believe they are this big already.  And yet, it seemed to take a long time to get here :)

Backpacks ready for school.  They each chose the backpack they 
wanted and we ended up with 4 identical backpacks.

Dylan, Evan and Liam - ready to go!







All three boys heading into the school building.

All three boys immediately found their favorite thing and 
settle right in - in totally different areas of the room :)



I love love love that they are growing and learning and having new experiences and making new friends.  I'm glad that they will have some time with another adult other than mom.  They need a change!  I'm full of emotion because they are growing up and we are entering a new phase.  It's just so Nice!  Some of you may be wondering what I did with my free time.  Well, I went straight to Starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte.  Savored that for awhile.  Sat and thought about each of my boys and how blessed we are.  I said a little prayer for their day and went on my way.  I had a list of errands to run and I got every one of them done in one morning.  It was quite marvelous.  I feel the stretching that occurs with change but it's already starting to feel right for all of us!!

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

The 2 Week Wait is Over

The waiting is finally over. Today was the day - after 2 long weeks of waiting - that I went for my official pregnancy test at the dr.'s office. I had done a couple of Home Pregnancy Tests so I pretty much knew what to expect. I have been praying constantly, as have many of you out there (thank you so much for that). Well, God heard all of us and we are happy to report that the test came back positive. We are really happy but also very cautious . It was only 5 months ago today that we lost our pregnancy at 5 1/2 weeks. We are going to just continue praying that God will watch over this pregnancy and that a healthy baby will be born. We give Thanks to God !
