And Away We Went

And Away We Went!


About a week and a half ago we were lucky enough leave the snow and cold behind and headed south for some sunshine. It was Justin's company trip - The IQgetaway to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. We love travelling and really don't get to do it as much as we'd like so this was a really sweet treat! My parents were kind enough to take care of the boys for the week and off we went!


So many of my favorite things were there. I love the feel of the warm sun so much!! It was heavenly. We did all the things, like walks on the beach and laying by the pool, eating outside and watching the sunsets.  We read books and took naps. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed every moment of it!


We went into town one day and took in some sights.  I absolutely love all the colors and textures, the sounds, and seeing people from so many different places.

 

The last night was Company Banquet night. It was another beautiful night out by the pool, the sun setting while we ate. After the presentations came music, performers and lastly, fireworks on the beach. A perfect ending to a beautiful week!.




I know it's easy to be grateful when you're in a place like this and on holiday so naturally my "joy" list was pretty full.  At the same time though, being away reminds me of what I have at home that I can't wait to get back to!! Life is so very good!

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...

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.
