Derek uploaded some of our summer (!) videos this week. Here’s one of Elizabeth singing hymns.

I knew it was coming, but it shocked me to hear Elizabeth last night telling me, “Mommy, look at Veronica and Duncan on my gun!” I know that kids will make anything into a gun, but it was the first time it had happened in our home. And she’s my girlie girl! Then Tommy emerged […]
Best Christmas Present Ever
Posted in Children's Books, Elizabeth on Jan 11th, 2012
Squeals abounded in the female part of the Muller family when Pride and Prejudice: A BabyLit Board Book was opened. I’ve actually given this amazing toddler book to friends, but I couldn’t justify buying it for ourselves until birthdays or something. Fortunately, Uncle John saw it on our amazon wishlists and decided he’d take responsibility […]
Finally got these off the camera! And here you get to see the hair AND the fashion sense. Pink striped sweater over pink shirt. Purple skirt over purple leggings. Striped sweater and striped socks. They match! (I am responsible for her wearing her brother’s hand-me-down crocs, though. And I just realized that Tommy is wearing […]
Elizabeth’s First Haircut
Posted in California, Elizabeth on Jan 6th, 2012
Yesterday was warm again, so I gave in and let the kids pull out the kiddie pool, mostly so that I could say they were playing in it on January 5. Elizabeth’s nearly-naked state somehow accentuated the scraggly appearance of her hair. Derek has been telling me for years to cut it, but she has […]

Grandma and Grandpa with the kids on Christmas Eve Christmas morning, waiting for their uncles to wake up! Elizabeth “helping” Susanna play with her new toy Andy helping Elizabeth use her little magnadoodle I’m going to get more photos off the camera tomorrow…
Traditional Couch Picture with the Coles
Posted in Elizabeth, Friends, Susanna, Tommy on Dec 29th, 2011
One of the great things about Royal Oak is how many other Hillsdale (and earlier) friends are from around here! We were glad to be in town the same time as the Coles–and to laugh at how much bigger William is than Susanna (he’s two weeks younger, but about 6 pounds bigger). I have a […]
We’re such beach bums now that the merest hint of snow has the kids in their snow pants and boots, ready to go outside! On Christmas Eve, there was enough dusted that Grandpa was able to make a couple of snowballs for the kids. It melted by the next day, so no White Christmas, but […]
