Getting back to the Millers

Some how lately it seems that I have been lost, a little. How often do you allow others to question your family culture? I don't even know if people know they are doing it right? Friends or family influence us to look at the differences not that they are bad or good but simply different. So how are we going back to being the Millers???

Doing things as a family- although can be difficult and sometimes impossible looking back at each crazy  adventure (even going to Target with a group of 5) its actually memorable and funny.

Making stuff on our own- My aunt always said since I was a little girl "you have expensive taste" and truth is I do. But money and wants don't always match. So Started a number of little projects for the house and for Brittain's  birthday

Enjoying the kids- Lately I have felt pressured to work more really not sure why or where from but I felt guilty for working more and stressed when I work less. so why change it???? Im staying working where its flexible.

Education- I know Im particular about this some even Tim think a little nuts... But honestly education is key (most of the time). The kids can become self efficient without it but what about all the other benefits to education??? Socially, esteem, respect and endurance? I learned so much going to college and not just nursing stuff. I learned how to think long term, critically thinking and the meaning of not giving up. So I have applied to UOA.... for masters of nursing. Tim and I have finally sat down and agreed to a school for the kids. It was lengthy and paper was involved :)


Don't you just love this picture of the kids??? I know its funny right. the boys being good then there's Brittain picking her nose or at least pretending to.

did I mention Brittain is starting to walk. She takes a few steps on her own before she hits bottom. So sad
