I have so many little matters to tell you of, that I cannot wait any longer before I begin to put them down.

Jane has been sleeping all day. (Too bad she didn’t sleep like this last night…) So Tommy volunteered to help keep her awake this afternoon by reading her Baby Lit Pride and Prejudice. I think she was a fan!
I tried to take some newborn pictures of Janie today using tips from books I’ve gotten from the library and several photography blogs, but I just managed to have 300 overexposed (?) pictures. Instead of showing you those, which frustrated me to tears, here are the kids, posing on their own!

Susanna’s move to a big girl bed has been rocky, to say the least. She stayed up until 10 several nights in there, and when she woke everyone up at 5:15, we gave up and threw her back in her crib. Now we’re letting her stay up with the big kids and start the night […]
In an attempt to make way for the new baby, we’ve made major changes with the kids’ room (with the help of craigslist). We decided to sell Elizabeth’s twin bed and pick up a toddler bed that would take up less room. A couple weeks later, we found a matching toddler bed for Susie. The […]

My second week of photography class was even more helpful than the first, as I was able to bring in some pictures and ask what I was doing wrong with them! One of my biggest challenges is staying focused on the kids when they’re constantly moving. This is my transcription of my hastily jotted notes […]

At Grandma’s request, here are some of the pictures Tommy has taken with his camera lately (and this is after deleting about 70% of them). He’s even put in some special effects for your enjoyment!:

I signed up for another photography class this month, and one of the things he had us do for class this week was get off of auto white balance settings. I definitely notice that the pictures are warmer.
I’m under three weeks out from when I think I’m due (the doctor thinks it’s more like three and a half weeks), and I’m definitely feeling the impatient wait kicking in. Realistically, I won’t have this baby until the end of March (which is when my parents will be out to help)–I went late with […]

While Derek took Tommy to Disney California Adventure to visit Cars Land yesterday, my job was to come up with this update on our six year old! It’s fun to have a six year old in the house. One of the nicest things about Tommy is his enthusiasm for little things–his eyes get big and […]

We started the day with the Muller family tradition of breakfast in bed (Cars-shaped pancakes, thanks to Robert and Hannah!)… …followed by presents (including a book for every year of life, of course)… One sister was excited for him. The other one didn’t understand why SHE wasn’t getting presents… Tommy couldn’t believe that he got […]
