The past couple of weeks

We've had a really good last couple of weeks. We had a bit of a frustration because Evan was starting to wake up more and more in the night. At one point he was up every two hours. Not ok with me! We had been wondering if he was running into the sides of the crib and sure enough that was what was happening (we heard a big thunk one night and then the screaming began). He has now been in a play pen for a week and is sleeping through the night. Beautiful! Anyway - here are a few shots of life over the past little while.

- eating it is the best part

regular painting. They liked this even though they didn't get to eat it. And I think they preferred not getting their hands in it!

- just hanging out

Thanksgiving Weekend is also Western's lectureship and we were happy to have the Pippus Crew spend the weekend with us. We went to Wascana Park and Candy Cane Park - the weather was fantastic.

The boys

The kids had a lot more story times with 4 more people to read to them! not to mention play with them and just enjoy them. It was very sweet to see. They are lucky boys.

So cute...

and the more telling picture - chaos!!

This past friday we had movie night. Our first official one. I loved seeing the boys all in a row with their snack watching a cartoon movie. Nothing reminds you of the blessing they are like seeing them all lined up like this.

It's all so good!

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.
