Mommy: Tell me what happened outside today. Tommy: I was washing Lizzie’s car. Mommy: Whose car? Your car? Tommy: No, my sister’s. Mommy: Right. Now, she wanted to ride in it, and it was too wet, so I told you that we needed to turn the water off. Then what happened? Tommy: I did scream and say […]

Why do I ever bother cleaning?
Posted in Elizabeth, Homemaking, Tommy on Aug 27th, 2010
This morning I woke up to Tommy shouting from the hallway that he needed to go potty. He can’t just get up quietly and go–no, he has to wake up the rest of us. Then the unpleasant realization dawned on me that I’d invited a couple from church over for dinner tonight and my house […]
Big Girl Shoes!
Posted in Elizabeth on Aug 24th, 2010
Yesterday Elizabeth took a spill in her robeez, smashing her face into the tile floor of the kitchen! I realized she’s been wearing them so much that they’re completely slick on the bottom. So I’m going to get some puffy paint to give some friction as she walks, but in the meantime, we picked up a […]
I’d been feeling a little cabin fever not going anywhere than the grocery store for the past month. Silly me. Saturday was student move-in day at Penn State, so we decided to skip town and meet Derek’s parents in Ohio, where they were going to visit Great-Grandma Tony at the island. Derek assured me it […]
Derek finally uploaded videos from last month–Tommy reciting his Bible verses and Elizabeth starting to walk.
Elizabeth's First Baseball Game!
Posted in Elizabeth, State College, Tommy on Aug 19th, 2010
Last night we went to see the State College Spikes game. It was the Little One’s first game! Tommy carefully checked the program for the picture of each new player up to bat. Elizabeth made friends up and down the seats. She really got into clapping when our team did well! Tommy sees Ike the […]
In Mommy's Shoes
Posted in Elizabeth on Aug 17th, 2010
This little girl sure does love shoes! She’s always on the watch for shoes the rest of us forget to put away. Yesterday she came into the kitchen wearing one of Tommy’s sandals on the wrong foot, and later I found her trying to fit into my flip flops!
15 Month Photo Shoot
Posted in Elizabeth on Aug 13th, 2010
Elizabeth is 15 months old today! Right after breakfast, I dressed her up for a little ballerina photo shoot. She has her check-up in a couple more weeks, so I’ll post her stats then… Besides learning to walk in the past month (and she’s pretty much given up crawling entirely), Elizabeth has finally taken to […]
Home Economics 101
Posted in Elizabeth on Aug 12th, 2010
Both kids have always loved laundry day. Yesterday afternoon, Tommy napped late, so Elizabeth and I had fun with the laundry basket together! I sure hope this means she’ll help me with the laundry for real in a few years…
Dad and Mom Muller and Jason all came out to visit us this past weekend. (Sadly, Denver was too far away for Matthew to make it…) Of course the kids loved showing them around our new place. Elizabeth convinced us all that she only needs one nap a day, and Tommy went back to napping […]
