Kind of funny - or really funny if you aren't exhausted

To set the stage - I have had no sleep. The kids took turns being up all night. I'm not sure what the problem was but I'm not too happy about it. Anyway, once I could see straight, I was in the bathroom putting my hair up or something and Dylan was in there with me. He always follows us in there. No big deal. But then I hear Liam crying in the living room so I run out and see. He's fallen. He does that a lot now that he has started pulling up on everything. I gave him a bit of a hug and some love. Then I go back to see what Dylan is doing and he has unrolled a whole bunch of toilet paper. He was just sitting in it and laughing away. Luckily Evan was just sitting and playing in the living room. Needless to say - if you ever come over - say in the middle of the afternoon - and I look like I just got up - that'll be why! Even just to go brush my teeth (I never get to makeup or doing my hair! That's pretty fancy for me now.) - I have to come out while brushing b/c someone has started crying. Either they fell or a brother has crawled over another brother, or one has pulled another's hair or gouged their eyes. Oh boy oh boy oh boy!! I'm not supposed to want to rush a developmental stage right? I can't help but admit I was thinking about how it'll be to send them all off to school one day :).

Jen, even with KJ&C being 4 yrs old, I still cherish my shower every single day. But I especially loved it when they were younger. Of course, it had to wait until they were napping or buckled in their swing/exersaucers.

I can tell you you can look forward to the day when the boys will come in the bathroom, sit quietly, help you turn on the hair dryer and hand you your hairbrush. There are great days ahead.

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...

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...

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.
