The kids had a great time with all the family members on both sides this past weekend…here are some highlights! Andy had the magic touch and got Lizzie to smile her biggest smile of the weekend… She liked Uncle Jason, too… Johnson’s Island: the most significant Civil War site in Ohio. (It was a POW […]

We’re at Grandpa and Grandma Muller’s house, in “Mish-din”, as Tommy tells us. The drive with the kids went okay on Wednesday. Elizabeth was still sleeping a ton from her immunizations on Tuesday, and Tommy did as well as could be expected. He read a book with Grandma Willett over the phone (thank you to […]

Tommy's New Dresser
Posted in Homemaking, Tommy on Jun 29th, 2009
Okay, we’ve had this for over a month, but I just managed to get it up to his room last week when Laura and Stephen were here… Tommy’s new dresser! Elizabeth is inheriting our vintage red one that belonged to her Grandpa Muller, so Tommy needed a big boy one. I got this one for […]
With the 90+ degree weather hitting Chicago, we’ve pulled out the kiddy pool this week. Here are a few pictures of the kids in the backyard over the past few days: Who says babies can’t wear swimsuits? Running water is even funnier when it’s spraying your belly button! Caroline came over for one last play […]
Laura came up this week to meet the little “niece” who has her name…and to introduce us to Stephen! Lizzie and Auntie Laura were smitten with each other! We took the kids for a walk to the playground in their newly re-covered stroller… Lizzie discovered a new favorite place to nap–against Auntie Laura!
From expensive to free…I found this Coupe by dumpster diving on trash day in our neighborhood a couple weeks ago. Tommy LOVES it!
Our New Vibe!

A couple of weeks ago I went for my first walk with both kids and Tommy’s friend Reagan. Since Dana had forgotten to bring Reagan’s stroller, we used the old double I’d picked up last spring at a garage sale. Well, Peg Perego is a good brand, but it just wasn’t cutting it on our Chicago sidewalks! […]
Grandma and Tommy arrived yesterday afternoon, and boy, were Tommy and I glad to see each other! He’s been so excited about being home, and he seems pretty pleased that “Baby Iz-bet” is still around. I’m so glad to have my sweet girl and my little dude together again! This morning he asked me to put him […]
Elizabeth checked out at the doctor yesterday: 9 lbs 13 ounces (75%) 20 7/8 inches (50%) The doctor just had a bit of concern over the fact that we’ve been noticing mucus in her dirty diapers. That’s usually a sign of an allergy to milk proteins…so it’s likely that she has a dairy allergy like her […]
