A new adventure has begun

There he is - our little kindergarten student. Caden was very excited to start school today. I had been weepy thinking about it for the last few days but today was just exciting and fun for all of us. He is so social and happy to be going to school. When we got there this morning he ran off and played in the playground. He knows no one but he didn't let that bother him. He had no problem letting me leave (if he even noticed) and was actually upset this morning when we didn't let him ride the bus to school. I thought that was pretty funny. I just feel so pleased for him and love the idea of getting him off to school in the mornings and that he will be learning so much and just thriving in that environment. It's a new phase of life and I think it is just wonderful! As I write this Caden is learning all about his new classroom and meeting his teacher and his classmates. He gets to ride the bus home so I'll see him in a bit. Can't wait to hear about his first day!

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...

Any Guesses?

We have our 20 week ultrasound on Thursday afternoon and, as long as the babies cooperate, we should be able to find out their genders. We thought it would be fun if people would try to guess what we are going to have. Any guesses? Don't be afraid - you're bound to get at least one right :). We'll post what we know either Thursday night or Friday sometime.
