Settling in



We are slowly settling in to a routine with our newly expanded family. Andie's family helped us out a lot by staying with us while we got situated. I am trying to not kill the boys as they adjust. And Andie dad does we he does best, show the boys how to sleep anywhere in any position. All Miller's have a kind of narcolepsy that is both fascinating and annoying. Andie will be talking to me and two seconds later be fast asleep. I think there is only one position i can fall asleep in but a Miller can sleep standing up. Well, Pedee's are blessed with large feet and ears. I haven't figured out the evolutionary advantages of these traits but I have a team of scientists on it. We got some pictures of Big Brotha Ty with his lil bro. He doesn't realize he will be taken care of his brothers more than he wants to. The oldest always gets screwed, that's how it is. I am just playing that forward.



After grandma and grandpa left the boys were going crazy. It had been raining for about two days so we all had cabin fever. After it rains I like to take the boys down to creek by the middle school so we can throw rocks in the water and see the fish. We have seen "lobsters" recently and the boys always want me to catch them. These are crayfish and they pinch. "just grab em Daddy!" Well, this time we found a net and tied it to a stick and made a fishing net. We were actually trying to catch tadpoles, but had no luck. As we were turning around to go back home Ty did a couple more casts and we thought he hadn't caught anything. I was pulling out the paper and "seaweed" he had caught and to our surprise we saw this bad boy



Hi ya doin'


I wanted to get a picture of ty holding him but he chickened out so we get this instead

Is that a kindergarten gang sign?????

So we are doing good. Ryan goes for his first check up this morning and we will be "keepin it real" with MC Whitey Mcgee in the above picture. Word to your mother.
