A whole new level

By a whole new level I mean Dylan has reached one. He can now reach the very edge of the kitchen counter, he can climb onto the tv stand without something to stand on and just now - he figured out how to climb onto the couch without anything to stand on. He tried for almost ten minutes without giving up and now he's up there. I think he's fairly balanced but that's not my worry. It's that now he can reach all the things I was keeping out of his reach. All I have left are our island and our dining table (and that is only if there are no chairs left out). Soon I'll be hanging shelves on the walls just to keep him from getting at my hot drink or the phone. He's playing with the phone right now actually so I guess this is the end of this post :)



Oh and just so the other kids don't feel like I never talked about them - they are playing their toys and behaving themselves. Actually Liam tries to climb sometimes but he's still too short. With Evan we are still just trying to help him trust himself to stand on his own and to work on walking a little more. I'm sure the climbing days are coming for him too. I have to say though - I don't think the other 2 will do it with this intensity. Caden never did but I guess we'll see.

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.
