Blessed

All I ever wanted to do was have a family. I had no real career aspirations (obviously) and felt this intense desire to be a mom. As many of you know that took a long time. You may also be thinking - ok - you have the kid now - get over it. But I can't. Every day I look at Caden and am amazed that he is here. Today he kept crawling over to me and wanting up. I don't want a suck for a child. I kind of pride myself on not caving in to whining but I just could not help myself. How must he feel all the times I crawl over to him and want a hug and a kiss when he is in the middle of playing? So I picked him up and hugged and hugged him and felt warm all over. I am overwhelmed with gratefulness for his existence. Life is full of happiness and sorrow and I hope that I am appreciating this wonderful time in my life enough. Oh, here he comes again - time for another hug!

Those hugs are too precious to miss. My theory is to always cave into them! Thanks for the reminder of what amazing blessings little boys are!

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

And the final answer is....
