Well, we made it back home, despite the crazy weather that started minutes before we left Detroit! Our week with Derek’s fam was lots of fun…especially because Tommy really bonded with Uncle Matthew and Uncle Jason! Uncle Jason taught Tommy how to play games on a Blackberry. Um, thanks, Jason? I let Derek go to […]

Politics, Muller Family-style
Posted in Family on Nov 4th, 2008
(Warning: occasional hyperbole and shameless partisanship below.) If you know the Muller family, you know we’re pretty conservative. Okay, very conservative. The Republican Party (arguably founded in Jackson, Mich., just miles from our alma mater) was founded on a platform dedicated to “the imperative duty of Congress to prohibit in the territories those twin relics […]
Tommy: There’s someone missing from this stroller. Mommy: Don’t worry–you’ll have a sidekick around May 5! Tommy: Then I’d better practice my big brother skills!
We made a last-minute trip to Detroit this weekend to celebrate Uncle Matthew’s and Grandpa’s birthdays! Tommy had all sorts of “firsts” this weekend–first trip to a cider mill, first cider doughnut, first ricotta cake (Great-great Aunt Dee-Dee “accidentally” gave him some even though he’s not allowed to have dairy or sugar!), first citrus (in […]
3.5 pounds of pure romance
Posted in Family on Oct 10th, 2008
Some girls like it when their hubbies send them roses. This girl is still swooning from the 3.5 pound box of Big Train Chai mix that got delivered to her door. Here they are: 4 beautiful bags of chai! (Banana and scoop shown for scale) Within 5 minutes of the UPS delivery, I was inhaling […]
A visit from Grandma Willett
Posted in Family, Proverbs 31, Tommy on Oct 8th, 2008
Lest my last post make anyone think that I really have it all together, I’ll be really open about the fact that I had to beg my mom to come up again for a week and help me bring order to chaos. So she trained up on Sunday to hang out with us for the […]

Okay, so I really do have a whole list of things to catch up blogging on, but I just couldn’t help sharing this article on raising missions-minded kids that my mom sent me today. Fellow parents, please take the time to read it! To me, this is right on. It starts, Some of the coolest […]
quick update
Posted in Family on Sep 8th, 2008
For those of you who wondered if we moved then fell off the planet, we’re still here. My mom is staying ’til tomorrow, so we’re desperately trying to get up blinds, valences, and pictures so that this place starts feeling like home. We’ve run to Target, Walmart, Home Depot, Linens and Things, and Bed, Bath and […]
