The Mullers Visit the White House

Last week Brian was given the opportunity for us to have tickets to the Easter Egg Roll at the White House. It was a blast to be there at THE White House...watching our children play in the same grass as the currest first children play in as well as past first children! This was Caden's face when he first saw the White House...he was amazed!

The theme was "Get Fit"! They had a great time on the obstacle courses and other fun activities!!

We ran into a friend that we miss dearly from Greensboro that recently moved to our nations capitol! When we were sitting in the VERY hot line waiting to get in I was crusing facebook and saw that she had just gotten tickets to the Egg Roll. We got in touch and said it'd be great to see each other but we never thought it would happen. It was great that we were able to catch up for just a second before our children pulled us in other directions!

Because she loves me and my baby!

My sweet friend Kirstin is so patient with me! Several months ago I found an etsy gown that had the babies name on the side of the gown....problem was the gown was $50! Outrageous! So, I immediately copied and pasted the link and sent it to Kirstin with a note asking if she could make this! The morning after Collins was born Kirstin showed up with this sweet gown! How do I know she loves me and my baby? I'm sure it was a pain to make. However, she still did it! Thanks Kirstin!! It looks so sweet on her! (Caden asked why it didn't say Collins Lea!!!!) ha!

Great Grandma

When Collins was only one week old my grandma got put in the hospital. So, we headed up the road with Collins' grandma and grandaddy! I'm thankful Collins got to meet her. (She also got to see her yesterday!) When we went to visit my grandma told me I could come back for Collins later! She would have been content to lay in her lap...until she got hungry!!

Who's come to see our girl??

This proud brother has been so excited to show his sister off...many people have come from near and far have come to see her. Although, I didn't get a picture of everyone with her...I wish I had!

Brian's family made the journey from FL to meet our sweet love!

My grandparents came this weekend for Easter and got to meet our newest love. Collins name is my Nana's maiden name!

While Mimi and Pop Pop were here Caden, Pop Pop and Brian went fishing!

Welcome Collins Lea!

Early on March 31st at exactly 3:45am I woke up to my water breaking! Brian was VERY surprised when I woke him up since I was only 36 weeks 2 days pregnant! She made her grand (and quick) entrance at 10:10am. When the doctor delivered her she turned her around after her head came out so that I could be the first one to see the babies gender when she came out! It was amazing! I'm so glad we waited to find out what she was. However, I'll be the first to tell you that I couldn't have done it the first two times! I couldn't believe that Collins was a girl! It's not that I didn't want a girl I just thought she was a boy! Such a little girl!


She did not love bath time!

He loves Collins! We are both so thankful for her!

Our very first family picture!

The great love affair begins! Addison has told everyone about her sister since the moment she found out I was in labor. A month into Collins' life she still tells everyone about her little sister!

Grandma and Grandaddy

I love, love, love that she also has blue eyes!

Already has him wrapped.

Our first day home!

Sisters.

The Big Brother! He just adores her and tells her that she's beautiful!!

13 miles in

We are 13 miles in on our trip home. I looked back and saw this:

Waiting at the bus stop for the muller bus

Here is my seatmate

Who's going to crash?

As we walked MANY blocks to the metro Brian said both kids would crash. As you can tell from her face that's not the case. I do think collins is sleeping!!

The view from where I stand!!!

I'm the best

Don't tell my brother and sister but I've got the beat seat in the house! It is really really hot in this line but don't worry. Mommy ha had lots of water and has been nursing me lots.

Our day at the white house

We just got on the metro. I will update all day with pictures. Ad will have the next one!!! We can't wait!!

Happy (belated) Birthday, Caden!!

Well...as soon as Blogger wants to work I can't wait to show you pictures of Caden's 5th birthday. I hate that I haven't updated you on all the birthday fun! We were surprised that sweet Collins came four weeks early and it certainly threw me off! I have a lot to update you on!! We've adjusted wonderfully to being a family of 5! Collisn is the perfect "final piece" to the Muller Family. Caden and Addison just ADORE their sister! I bet Addison says 5,000 times a day that collins is her sister. Caden has spent the last 30 minutes demonstrating to his sister what she has to do to crawl, walk and now how to use the iphone. She's sitting happily watching every move! Maybe she'll sleep tonight...her daddy and I would appreciate that! Collins either doesn't sleep at all at night or she'll sleep 7 hours straight...there's no middle ground for our sweet girl!!

Bath time

Her first roadtrip

Collins and I are on her first road trip. My grandma was admitted this morning to the hospital and I knew i needed to get this sweet girl up there to meet her great grandma. So, Brian and I packed collins and I and off we went. We are with mom and dad and everything is going great so far. We've got a great traveler!!!

I'm really going to miss my other 3 loves. Caden and Addison are in good hands!!!

My two best girls

God laughs at our plans

Wednesday night leaving church a friend of ours joked that I was stealing a basketball. I joke that I'd love to have the baby but it couldn't be until monday because we had such a busy weekend planned. He joked back and said God laughs at our plans. He does....and clearly did. I find myself making plans and letting God know how it should all go down. Intact, the nursery was set up for a boy....I guess He laughed at me about that too!! Jeremiah 29:11 has been my favorite verse since high school. He has a plan for me, my marriage, my children, my ministry. I'm thankful for that. So tonight I'm going to enjoy every sleepless minute with this sweet girl. I wonder what His plans are for her!

Tomorrow we celebrate Caden! I'm thankful for who he is!

Addison shares with her sister

We are home with all three of our children and it's wonderful. Addison and Caden have both held their sister and Addison has shared her baby, watch and hair brush!

Our first family picture!
