Have you seen the Muller Family??

Well you see....Addison's been busy hanging with her best friends...isn't that what life's about? Caden's been preforming magic tricks!!

Addison learned the art and joy of trunk or treating!! Did you know that a bunny costume can hold a good bit of candy?!

Every Magician needs a bunny! I happen to think that they were the sweetest magician and bunny there!! (Okay...they were the only ones but certainly the cutest!)



What have Brian and I been up to? Well...what have we not been up to!?!? Brian's busy with school (both of them!)! I've been busy keeping up the magician and his bunny! Collins has been busy kicking his mommy! (Yes, I think it's a boy but I'm certainly in the minority with that prediction!) I've told Brian it appears he'll have someone to hang out with him until he goes to bed at 2! Collins gets the party started (at least where I can feel it) at about 9 and doesn't stop until sometime after two. It doesn't keep me up yet but I can still feel him when I wake up to potty! All is well in the Muller household! We're looking forward to the Holidays! I love, love, love Thanksgiving and Christmas! After the holidays it'll be time to buckle down and get things ready for Collins' grand appearance.

Oh...Collins officially has a new middle name if he's a boy, he will be. His new and FINAL name is Collins Lewis! Caden and Addison both have family middle names so Brian suggested my grandfathers' middle name! We both wish my Grandad and his Grandpa could have met our three kids! They would have loved each other sooooo much!
We're also thankful that Caden, Addison and Collins will know 3/4 of their Great Grandmothers and 1/4 of our Grandfathers.

our morning at the science center!

God is Faithful

(Halloween pictures coming soon!)

This week I have been reminded how faithful God is. This week I have been praying, almost non-stop, for Mary's good friend and former roommate, Crystal. She disappeared last Tuesday...didn't use her phone, debit card or gas card. Her parents had no idea where she was...of course we didn't either. However, I am not her mother. I did not feel the same worry and agony her mother did. That's all I could think about. Of course I was worried about Crystal . I just couldn't get her mom out of my mind. My heart stops when I can't find Caden or Addison in a store for no more than 30 seconds. Her baby had been gone for days...not in a warm store but in the woods. How did she function? I don't think she did, really. This week I hugged my babies a little tighter...prayed that they'd never feel pain that they couldn't share with me...that they never feel like they had another option but to run.

Hundreds, maybe thousands prayed for her return. God was FAITHFUL! They found her yesterday evening, no doubt, scared, cold, and hungry! BUT she's ALIVE...how is that even possible? It's been so cold...she wasn't prepared...but her Heavenly Father was. No doubt, in the woods she relied on Him! No doubt while she was in the woods her mother relied on Him!

God NEVER ceases to amaze me with what He can do through me and inspite of me, what he can when people truly pray without ceasing for a need. What if I prayed without ceasing EVERYDAY?

The Princess

Today we're just hanging around the house...it's much needed! Addison decided to put her baby's tiara on! It's gone from summer to winter here in about a day! So...we're all hanging out in sweats watching football...and we love it!

Sweet, Sweet Memories!

This afternoon after naptime Caden went downstairs while I changed Addison's diaper. When I got downstairs he was sitting in the corner chair with a picture. I could tell by the frame what picture it was. He then said to me, "Mommy who is that man holding the little girl and that lady?" It was a picture of my Grandad holding me and my Nanny (his mother) sitting next to us. I was probably about 4. It's not a great picture, it's kinda dark, but certainly one of my favorite pictures. You see, I was a Grandad's girl!

Throughout the day today he's been asking me to tell him stories about HIS Great Grandad! I love that he claims him even though he's never met him. Tonite I told him about weeks spent at my Grandma and Grandad's...what precious memories. All of the sudden I could smell the smell of onion bagels that lingered back to the bedroom early in the morning. My Grandad ALWAYS got up REALLY early and did the crossword for the day and ALWAYS had an onion bagel with the butter melted just right ready when I got up with grits. After breakfast we'd go on an adventure. No matter where we went it was always fun! Some day's we'd go to my Nanny's together and just hang out and watch the planes land! It was neat telling Caden about my Nanny and the VERY tall apartment complex she lived in and my memories of eating pizza everytime I went to her house at the very same dining room table that is in Caden's Grandma's house now! He couldn't believe it!

Caden couldn't believe that I slept in the very same bed he sleeps in on his visits now! He wasn't convinced that their house could be so old that his Grandma lived there when she was a little girl! I didn't try to explain that Aunt Lindsey and Aunt Laura lived there too...that might have blown his mind! We'll save that for another day! He asked if his Daddy knew him. I told him he didn't. So he went through the list of just about everyone else! Seriously, Mary, Jennifer, Allison, Brian, Chrisptopher, ect..... I told him that his Great Grandad would have loved him and Addison A LOT! I can just imagine...Caden and Addison would be rotten (okay even more rotten than they already are!) Addison is such a sweet reminder of him as I think she looks like my Grandad in a lot of ways!

So...family, Caden will be asking you very soon about Grandad! Start thinking of some fun stories now! He wants to see pictures too!

P.S. Mary and Jennifer would go with me sometimes but sometimes we'd go on our own weeks. One summer Mary lived up there and went to "Summer School" and split her time between Grandma/Grandad's and Nana/Da's! We were lucky that Nana and Da and Grandma and Grandad lived close to each other. Typically we would split out week in half mixed in with some fun times at Aunt Lindsey's! While I have great memories from their house's too! I will have to share memories from Aunt Lindsey's and Nana/Da's soon so one day they'll have all this on paper. However, it was VERY special to share memories of my Grandma and Grandad's with him today...especially my Grandad because our memories are the only memories he'll know of him. I'm thankful he has plenty of his own memories with my other grandparents!
