Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

God Is Love!

God, Jesus and the Bible are often conversations around here. Today in the car on the way home Caden asked me this: "Mommy, God can do anything can't he?" Of course I told him that God can. Then for whatever reason we started talking about times in the Bible that God was angry. We talked about Noah and Jonah and obedience. It's neat to hear him discuss God's word in an intellegent conversation. I love how God is working in Caden's sweet heart. Brian and I both pray that one day he'll know Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior! What a sweet day that will be! (Of course we pray for Addison and Collins salvation as well!!) We've also been praying for other countries. Just the other night he talked to Mary for about 15 minutes about her trip to Nepal. He wanted to know how she taught the children about Jesus if it's not allowed. He even wanted to know what they play and do during the day! He's really burdened that everyone can't talk about Jesus whenever they want. I find myself asking if I carry the same burden. He humbles me.

That's Love!

Mommy got tired of sitting on the bathroom floor with her while she tries to potty! So she talked her nuh nuh into it!! He's so sweet to her! He has a good role model though...his Daddy is very good to me!!

Ice Skating!

This week the US iceskating championship is in Greensboro! Saturday we took the kids to watch the practice session!! We had a lot of fun!!! Caden loved it and wants to learn to iceskate! We'll see!

Can you believe less than 12 hours later Addison spiked a fever and has had one since then!! She and 5 of her friends shared some germs Wednesday night at Puggles! I'm hearing it's about a 2 day bug! Hopefully, we're on the upswing. Her fever right now is right at 100...much improved from over 102!

**CODE ADAM**

Tonight Brian and I went with the kids to Lowe's to look at counter tops. All was going well until all of the sudden Caden yells, "Addison's gone"! Indead she was. I took off towards the door and ran into the parking lot to look for her. When I was coming back in I hear them come over the announcements, "ATTENTION ASSOCIATES, CODE ADAM"! In case you don't know what code adam is...they shut the entire place down and all associates start looking for the missing child. Brian found her moments later. In reality she was missing for less than 3 minutes but it felt like forever.

(This is mostly for our records so we never forget the adventures Addison takes us on in life!! We love you sweet girl!!)

We are BUSY!

This week has been great! Addison even got to go to school. She is doing great with potty training...she makes it most days with no accidents! We are very proud of her!!

Tomorrow Brian and I are going to take Caden and Addison to watch the iceskaters that are in town for the championship! I will be sure to post pictures tomorrow. We're just going to the practice rounds! I don't think he'd sit still for hours during the real thing!

On Thursday (as long as there's no snow!) the kids and I are headed north to see my grandma! I think it's been since September since we've seen her! We can't wait we've certainly missed her and the rest of you up there! Brian has class Friday afternoon and all day Saturday...so he'll miss out on our adventure! Hard to believe that this will be my last trip up there until after sweet Collins gets here!

In late February we are headed to the Great Wolf Lodge with some great friends! Caden can't wait!! This will certainly be our last vacation just the 4 of us!

In early March Caden will get registered for Kindergarten! YIKES! I registered Addison and Collins for preschool next year! It was bitter sweet that I didn't fill out that preschool form for Caden! He will love kindergarten and will do great!!!

In April we'll celebrate Caden's 5th birthday at the bowling alley! He wanted to have a bowling party and since I will be 37 weeks pregnant Brian and I thought it was a great idea!

Of course...all this leading up to the Muller's becoming a family of 5!!! We can hardly wait!! Collins now has a nursery!! Brian painted this week and last night we put the crib together for the last time! I still need to clean out Collins closet...I'm hoping to get it done this weekend!!

I hope each of you are doing well!! Thanks for keeping up with us! God has certainly blessed us with an exciting season in our lives!!

Getting ready for Collins!

His face in this picture melts my heart!



Hi Daddy

At 9:30 tonight Brian was painting, I was talking to Mary on the phone when all of the sudden Brian says, "someone's up!" He goes and looks in AdEliz's room and her bed is empty. So we run downstairs to see where she is. Turns out she need lipgloss....and evidently some mascara! She also said her toes needed polish. In my purse I had some Halls. She clearly didn't like those judging by the half eaten sticky piece that was placed back in the bag. She informed us that, "I not like that candy!" We brought her upstairs bathed her (again). While Brian showered her she asked if Brian was mad he told her yes. She then asked if she was going to get a spanking Brian told her she would. She then told him she not like that so he shouldn't do that. (she did indeed get the spanking!) Then she went potty...when she was done she asked for a skittle (I told her no way!), she then asked for an m&m...when that didn't worked she said, "how bout some bubble gum". Oh my...we are going to have our hands VERY full!!!!!! While on the potty she also told us she had a princess party downstairs. I asked her who came...Mama came with Grandaddy, her friend Allyn and some others! Oh my! I have to be honest...Brian and I both had to duck into another room to laugh before we could discipline her! She's a sneaky girl!!! I sure do love her but she's going to keep us on our toes!!!
