When we were visiting KK and Kelly and Henry this summer, I fell in love with their gray walls. I’d always thought of gray as kindof modern and stark (=the opposite of me), but their home seemed so calm and cozy. I realized colonial homes have gray, too, it’s all in what kind of gray. […]

I really, really, really hated doing our laundry in the garage for the past 4.5 years. It’s one of the things I hated most about that house. So I love, love, love having a laundry room! Finally got the bins I needed to finish organizing the random cleaning supplies today, and the laundry room is […]

Pepperdine has two neighborhoods of subsidized faculty housing, and we’re moving to the top of Baxter Drive, up the street from our friends the Andersons AND from Derek’s office. I had become happy in Thousand Oaks, […]

I got the card reader working temporarily again! I’ll get our Easter pictures up in a day or two, but here’s a quick picture of Sunday afternoon, Muller-style. All six of us working together to make homemade gnocchi. And even the little girls asked for seconds at dinnertime!

I haven’t been able to post as much because our new computer came with a new operating system that is quite literally the most frustrating piece of technology I have ever had to deal with it. To say I loathe and despise it is an understatement. I hate it more than Apple products, which, as […]

We’re working through 30 lemons that we picked at a friend’s house this week, and yesterday Susie and I made lemon-blueberry cream pies. Yum!

After Elizabeth and I made a new dress for Betsy with the new sewing machine, we got ambitious. We decided to making matching outfits for Lizzie and Betsy using the ever-reliable Sweet Little Dress pattern. The big girl one came together well during naptime yesterday. Since I made her zig-zag all her seams to finish […]

Elizabeth’s favorite part of “school” is sewing time with Mommy.
