"Seven Posts in Seven Days" 4 of 7

Last Friday Nicola and I enjoyed our second Halloween with Maggie. It is amazing how fast time flies. Last year, for Maggie's first Halloween, we dressed her up as a skunk which, considering some of her diapers, was easy for her to pull off.
This year Nic selected something a little girlier for Maggie to wear... yes our little skunk blossomed into a beautiful little butterfly.

At the beginning of the evening we met my cousin Darrin, his wife Jill and their daughter Charlotte at Market Mall for some Halloween fun. Maggie and Charlotte had a blast walking around the mall window shopping.After a couple hours at the mall we made stops at Papa & Grammie Clark's and Grandpa & Grandma Mooney's. Sadly (actually it was kind of funny) by the time we got to Grandpa & Grandma Mooney's Maggie was so tired that she just powered out on the floor.

At the Clark's...

At the Mooney's

Somehow throughout our evening we managed not to collect any candy but we sure did have fun. Hope you enjoy the pictues.

The Babies Are Here...The Babies Are Here

OK... the 7 in 7 got interrupted Friday with Halloween and then my acquisition of a computer virus on Saturday which had me down until late Sunday night. I will resume later tonight including Halloween pictures but for right now, I just wanted to share the exciting news:

The Babies are Here!!!

Justin called me early this afternoon to share the news. Jen had her scheduled C-Section today and everything went perfectly. Justin, Jen and Caden have "officially" added 3 beautiful, healthy baby boys to their family.

Though I'm sure Justin & Jen will provide all the details and pictures on their blog in the coming days, this is what Justin said today:

Dylan Michael Mooney was born at 12:38pm weighing in at a whopping 6lbs.
Evan Timothy Mooney was also born at 12:38pm and weighed in at a rough & tumble 5.25lbs.
Liam David Mooney followed at 12:39pm coming in at a svelte 4.85lbs.

Justin said that the Doctors told him that Evan & Liam are identical. All three boys are doing very well and will not need to stay in the NICU. They are free to go home. Jen, however, will need to stay in the hospital for a few days to recover and adjust to being half of her weight from yesterday... haha!

Keep an eye on Justin & Jen's blog for all the details and pictures in the weeks to come.
