First big game!

Chris, Kate and I went to our first Nationals game. I have never been to a professional baseball game before. We had a blast going. It was so much more fun than I thought it would be.




This is just a random pic we took, on our way to the game, when Kate found a squirrel running around. She named him (or her) Bunny. It was probably because here the squirrels look like full grown bunnies. When I we first move here they freaked me out because they are everywhere.

The stadium is right in D.C. I didn't think they could fit a stadium in D.C. but lo and behold here it is. I thought this was an awesome pic with the Washington Monument in the back ground.

Kate was wonderful despite the crazy humidity. If you look at us you can tell we were soaking wet.


We were surround by Philly fans-who the Nats -Nationals-were playing-it was pretty intense. The Nats almost won but couldn't quite do it. It was fun to be there anyway.

Elder Miller

I just wanted to give a shout out to my little brother Cameron. He was just called to the Richmond, Virginia Mission. We are so excited and happy with his choices and his decision to serve. I am still a little in shock because he is only going to be 2 hours away from me. It is so random out of all the missions across the world he is going to be right by me. It sounds like a pretty hard mission-Good Luck Buddy!

Here's Elder Miller with Jay's little boy.

I stole these pics form my sisters blog because obviously I wasn't there. Good thing he has lots of sisters to take care of him.

The family minus me!

I'm so excited for Cam. Here I have had a greater opportunity to work with the missionaries and get to know them. The majority of my ward here are converts. It has been wonderful to see what missionary work does for people and their families.

Baby, baby, baby....

It's a Boy!

For sure. This baby boy was not shy about showing us his stuff. We are still a little surprised and shocked. We are so stoked. Kate is excited about her baby brother.


They also did some 3D images for us. I thought Grandma might like these. The top one is of his face. The bottom one is the side of his head with his hands over his face. His big sister did the exact same thing and we never were able to see her face. Luckily we did with him. We had a hard time getting pictures of his face because his arms were always there. He has learned well from Kate.

Daddy of the Year!

I'm not sure what is on the list for The Best Dad award, but I am sure these have to be on it:

I gave Kate some stickers with our old address on them to play with. Paper, however, wasn't good enough and thought her dad was the best substitute.

She thought it was pretty great. He was so nice about it too. Even when it came to pulling them off his legs. Which look pretty painful!

Then I had this great idea one hot and humid day to build a fort for Kate in our bed room. I started with just a simple sheet, a couple of hair clips, and a chair. Once Chris rested his head in my mock fort his mind suddenly began to flood with images of childhood and building real forts.

We then ended up with a few blankets, an air mattress, and fancy front door that was the only entrance. It was so wonderful we picnicked in there.

Kate thought it was so great. It was really fun to lay in there and reminisce about the old times when I used to build forts with my brother and sister. As soon as you lay down and look up you can't help but have all those fun feelings come flooding back. Thanks Hun for being such a great dad. I know we girls can be difficult sometimes but we appreciate you patience and the subtle eye rolls you give us.


Wish us luck! Tomorrow we go in to have our ultrasound. We are so excited and hope the baby will cooperate. I am just hoping everything is looking good. I am thinking it is a boy simply because this pregnancy is so different from Kate. I am less hormonal in every way. I think Chris is enjoying this one much more because of that. Chris says he doesn't have any idea. With Kate he was the only one who said she was a girl and even when they weren't sure during the ultrasound with her, he still knew it was a girl. It is too bad he isn't getting that clear channeling this time. We'll keep you posted.
