Christmas Time

We are getting into things around here. Last weekend we made a gingerbread house. Caden snuck an awful lot of candies but we still managed to get a few on the house! And you'll notice that I ended up putting up the gate around the tree. I was spending a lot of my valuable time redecorating the tree so I decided to put a stop to that!



I had gone to do something after we were done the gingerbread house and I come back to Caden doing this. What a kid!
On sunday and monday the Pippus' were down. We had a nice visit, put a couple of babies in baskets and did our 'christmas' together.



Dylan wasn't too sure about the talking truck.
He was keeping his eye on it.

Thanks for the presents!!
This pre-christmas made me pretty excited about the big day. Even though they won't really get what is going on, they will enjoy playing in the paper and seeing all the new toys and hanging out with family. They'll know that something special is going on. Not too mention just being glad that they aren't stuck in their house anymore. I hate to admit this but they haven't left this house in ten days. Yikes! It's warmed up a bit now though so maybe we'll head out for a bit of an adventure in the next couple of days. I think we might even brave a trip to see Santa!

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.
