October

So, October has sort of snuck up on me but I was ready for it.  I'm not even getting grouchy about the weather!  Yet!  I feel like this is my place to try and catch people up on our lives and when each day seems similar to the last and yet also holds its own unique moments, I find it hard to do.  We get up and do our thing every day.  We have found our morning routines and our weekend routines and have set up new traditions and are continuing established ones.  We love to read together at night and we have our allotted tv time and video game time.  I'm kind of a 'mean mom' about this (if you ask the locals) but they've stopped asking all the time and it seems to be going well.  We have swimming lessons and Caden has piano lessons.  Soccer will start in a few weeks.  It feels about right.  We have some fun stuff to do and learn and we also have enough nights at home that we don't feel like crazy people.  We just had a few weekends of fun.  We had Tim and Sara and their girls here for Thanksgiving and got to see Justin's parents and his grandma.  The weekend before that my brother Adam and his family were here.  We went to Pumpkin Hollow.  That was lots of fun.  It's just been so nice to enjoy my family, enjoy my home, enjoy my alone time and to enjoy time with our friends.  So, things are going really well and we are rolling along.  September flew by and now October feels like it wants to do the same thing.  I will work on getting more pictures up on here soon!

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...

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...
