National Celebrate Scipp Day!

In recent events, a one - Heather Lea Mullen - has beautifully executed completion of 23 years of life. Not long ago, the great University of the Midwest handed her the reigns of the teaching revolution with great pleasure. Shortly after were a series of events involving family, new and old. Currently, Mullen is stationed in the heart of Nebraska, with the wind at her back and a latte in her right hand, patiently awaiting the magical phone call from LPS. What will she do next? Visit heatherleamullen.blogspot.com for further news. Thank you and good night.

Sorry, found that in the paper so I thought I'd share it with you all. SO, 'borrowing' the internet from the neighbors seems to have come to a close, as all good things...dang. Poop outa luck. This explains why I have had such a long gap between postings and why I pretty much stopped emailing people. I know, I'm going crazy too. =)

BUT today is my lucky day, and Ryan's too I suppose, SNOW DAY at the dentist office!!! You're asking yourselves right now, does that happen, and the answer is apparently - YES. The last couple days it's been raining non stop, so it melted all the 9-10 inches of snow we had last week, and then last night took a turn for bad and iced over and then started snowing on top of the ice. It is probably 5 degrees and windy now...(bad, but still nothing like Nebraska) and enough patients called in to cancel their appts so it wasn't worth it to have the staff drive in to make it for a few people who would probably just no-show. So give your teeth a break! Ryan and I just came in to the office (so I could use the internet) so he could talk to Neal about some stuff and rummage thru some important papers or whatever he's doing. =) And the boys are taking a nap in their carriers. yesssssss....

Speaking of boys (sorry can't do pictures on this computer).....

1. Scheduling is awesome!! Their last meal at night is about 9:30-10ish and they have been sleeping very well until about 5:00am, get up, feed em, put em back in bed, get up at 8 and start the 3 hour feeding schedule with some happy awake time for the day. Twins shmins.

2. Garrett weighs pry a bit over 9 lbs and Ethan maybe 8 1/2....since the last appt. Little fatties. Cute as ever.

3. They smile after they eat. Hilarious.

4. Tracking more with their eyes...I think...still a bit like bobble-heads. =)

5. They can bomb or burp with the best of em. Loud. Look out.

6. We are all getting used to the new family and getting much better/quicker at leaving the house...there are many things to carry. =)

SOOOO, if any of you feel compelled to visit, you won't (knock on wood) be awakened during the night anymore, cause hopefully in a few they are sleeping until closer to 7. Give us a call and we'll get the Inn ready!!

Well, everyone, I have many things to do with my short allotted time with the outside world, so I must go. It's been real. See yaaaaaaaaa

Visitors!!

A big thank you to our Nebraska friends and fam that make the trek to MI to see the little dudes. First Deb and Steph Eidam, left us with rejuvenated arm muscles and a fridge full of food...then this last weekend Amber and Sarah, and again my arms are ready for the next few days (they're startin to pack on the weight) and Amber scrubbed our bathrooms and kitchen, and the three of us got new hair! Anyone in NE that needs a PRECISE haircut- give that girl a call! Thanks Bama!

AND my bros and mom are coming thru Iowa as we speak to check out the new family members. They will be here until Sunday, I'm sure we'll get a bunch of pics in and be able to add them with Ev's computer cause it's faster. =) BUT for now, Ry's assistant, Deb, is here to hang out with the boys so I can run to get some groceries and take a shower and stuff.

Thank you Lord for all our friends and family that are more than willing to help us out in any way. =)
