The kids and I made it down to Missouri for Peter and Cammy’s Columbia reception this weekend, leaving Derek home to recover in peace and quiet. Our normal 7 hour trip took 9 hours, even with Leann in the backseat trying to soothe Elizabeth for the last 7 hours. When we finally arrived, everyone was […]

Pancakes, pancakes, we love pancakes
Posted in Homemaking, Recipes, Tommy on Jun 8th, 2009
We’re all about pancakes at the Muller house these days…Tommy and I make pancakes or waffles at least 4 times a week now because he wants to help me with breakfast, and we’ve tested several great recipes of late. This is the most popular one right now: Blueberry-Cornmeal Pancakes (from Martha Stewart Living) 1 cup flour […]
So once Elizabeth’s belly button healed, we joyfully commenced free diapering. Yep, we might only have saved a little cloth diapering Tommy, but with every subsequent child, our investment in his diapers just gets better and better! I’m already doing a load of Tommy’s diapers every other day anyway, so we’re not even paying extra […]
I’m just wondering how my children, who ostensibly cannot yet communicate with each other, have managed to perfect the art of pooping in unison in the two short weeks of their acquaintance. It’s uncanny.
So I’m missing my brother’s wedding today to take care of this pair. It’s kindof been a rough, emotional past 24 hours for me. The sister part of me so wants to be out in Maryland celebrating with Lt. John Willett and Mr. and Mrs. Peter Willett, but the mom part of me realizes that […]
Farm Share, Week 8
Posted in Homemaking, Tommy on May 21st, 2009
Fortunately, our farm share was pretty normal this week–besides the Napa Cabbage, we know what to do with everything and can just use the veggies to supplement the meals that church people are bringing us! Derek’s mom and Tommy made a strawberry-rhubarb pudding with last week’s rhubarb, and they’re going to make us a pie […]
Well, I spoke too soon on the nursing question–last night and today were pretty rough, but hopefully things are improving. Tommy’s also been acting up more for us, but he’s still pretty sweet with his sister…
We’ll get some more Elizabeth pictures up soon (I just put up the rest of our hospital pics on facebook), but here are a couple of Tommy with his grandpas…having grandparents here has definitely helped him with the adjustment, though I spent about an hour with him in the middle of the night (while his […]
Things are going pretty well here in the hospital. Besides the fact that our room doesn’t get good cell reception (so I can’t really call anyone), we’re feeling pretty connected to the world as Derek has been using the wi-fi here in the room! So far Elizabeth has been a very good sleeper and a […]
Baking for Daddy
Posted in Homemaking, Tommy on May 8th, 2009
Derek won his first case today, so to celebrate, Tommy and I made him chocolate chip cookies! Tommy has become obsessed with cooking and baking–as soon as I tell him it’s time to eat, he says, “I help!” and pulls over the chair to stand on. (And he gets upset when the task is something like cutting […]
