Cathedral Village Arts Festival

Today has been such a great day! We spent the morning tidying the yard a little, had some lunch and then headed for the Cathedral Village Arts Festival. We hit the kid friendly stuff and we learned even more about Caden. The first place we went to was this jumping tent and he waited in line but then would not go in. I was really surprised but he seemed kind of unsure about it and just didn't want to do it. He tried again a little later and even went up to the door but chickened out again. But....

...He loved the bouncy slide. He went on this a couple of times. It looked like fun to me too!



Then we spent a few minutes at the sand castle area but he didn't do much there. Just played in the water a bit.



Then we found an area where you could get balloon animals and play with kid sized instruments. He had no interest in the balloon animals whatsoever - which I was surprised about. He loves balloons... On the other hand though, he LOVED the guitars. He played just with the guitars and didn't want to leave. Once again... interesting....

We wanted to get some ice cream so we braved the street fair and on the way we saw this guy playing the saxophone and Caden stopped to watch. He thought it was pretty interesting.

This is the babies when we stopped for ice cream. Poor guys couldn't have any. I don't think Liam was too impressed. He wanted cookies and cream!


YUM! Ice cream. He wanted the pink kind. Interesting....

And I got the light one...

It was such a nice day. After the festival Caden and I zipped over to a story time at the library and then Justin and the babies picked us up, we went for treats at 7-11 and got to go for a bit of a drive while the babies slept. We used to go for drives around the city all the time - so it was nice to get to do that (in peace). Now, tonight, we head off to Il Divo.... YAY!

Hope you all are having a nice fun sunny day too!

Want a Little Freedom?

Stay in your lane. Don't look at other people's papers. Those couple of lines jumped out at me as I read Maria Goff's book " Love Lives Here" It reminded me that we can't all live the same life. Comparisons hold us back and discourage us like nothing else. We have fears of being different when we are SUPPOSED to be different. I grew up trying to fit in and not doing a very good job at it. When I was in my teens I thought I'd try a new approach so I started trying to be the opposite of what I was because I thought that is what everyone else wanted me to be. I am chatty and energetic and I tried to be dainty and quiet. I didn't do a very good job of that either. Yikes. Trying to be someone we're not is exhausting and it doesn't work. We seldom fool anyone or achieve the goal we thought we wanted. What we all really want I think, is to connect with one another and to matter. As an adult I have had goals and held them up against other p...

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.
