and she topples over on her own too

Megan is now sitting up on her own

Pfft... What a weak "ice storm"

We got a little ice this morning. The passenger side sliding door was
frozen shut on Cristy's van. On my ice storm rating system I give this
one a D-

This is the Superyard

This picture cracks me up! Not sure why Megan looks so funny

A little bit of nothin'

So as part of my little bit of "me" time, I follow the blogs of a few of my friends. I enjoy reading about everyone and their families and what they are doing. But then I thought, how the heck do these people have the time to blog so often? I can barely blog once a month. But that thought is two-fold. Not only do I not have the time, but I do not think that there is much to blog about. Life in the McMillan household is pretty much basic right now. Mason and Maggie both go to preschool, however on opposite days. (It forces ME to actually get up and get going every day, not just school days. Plus it has help to give everyone, babies included, some sort of schedule.)

Speaking of the babies, Megan and Morgan are doing good. Megan is rolling ALL OVER THE PLACE. Megan was rolling over to the shoe bin and chewing on Mason's new rubber boots. I'm sure they make a good chew toy, but they're shoes. So I recently bought a Superyard and set it up in the living room. Our house is looking more and more like a daycare center.

Morgan's heart murmur is back. )I guess I haven't old you that yet.) Anyway, at out visit to the doctor back in December (6 month check up) the pediatrician heard it again. She asked us to follow-up with the cardiologist sooner than our 9 month follow up with him. Since it was right in the midst of the holidays and our insurance was to change the first of the year, we opted to wait until after the first of the year. When I had to take the girls to the new pedi in January for the 2nd flu shot, the new pedi also heard the murmur and also suggested we follow up with the cardiologist. So, I made sure the heart doc is covered with the new insurance we we are scheduled to go Feb 10th. The pedi's are not concerned that the hole is getting bigger necessarily, just concerned that at 3 months, the murmur couldn't be heard and then at 6 months is could be heard again. What does this mean to me? I'm not really sure. I just know that I have to get Morgan the more thorough tests done in February. (We'll be making that trip without the other kiddos.) Until then, we are to make sure she doesn't seem to get tired doing normal things like eating or playing. So far so good.

The girls are growing like weeds though. Megan is wearing size 12 months already! And Morgan is getting into the 9 month stuff. The good thing for me is I am getting double to use out of the clothes. Megan wears the stuff for a couple of weeks, then Morgan can wear it. And the few outfits that I have identical pairs of, I've been buying in 2 sizes so Morgan gets to wear those for a real long time.

So one of my friends, Vanessa, posts picture up on her blog every Friday. She calls is Favorite Photo Friday. Cute huh? Well, I'm not going to post every Friday, but I will try to put up more pictures of the girls. I did get an iPhone for Christmas and it is super easy to take pictures and then email them off. So I should be able to post pictures to the blog real fast. We'll see...

I'll wrap this up for now, it has taken me 3 days to write this in all my spare time.

Until next time...C-ya

mmmmmmm.......Carl's Jr.

So I went to Carl's Jr. today for lunch with a friend of mine. Yes, it is finally open. It was SO GOOD! Man, I love me the Famous Star. Me and my 4 kiddos and Vanessa and her twins took up 2 tables and use the only 2 high chairs they had. We also were quite the spectacle amongst the employees. Sheena, the lady that brought us our food and cleaned up our table was super nice. She kept coming by and checking on us. Said her grandchildren were in another state and missed them so much after seeing all of our babies. I also got to chat a little with the manager, Mark; such a nice man. He explained to me why they were unable to open back in November. (Delays in getting products and then the holidays.) He is looking forward to June when his family will be moving here from So Cal.

The place was super busy the entire time we were there - about 2 hours. The line moved real fast though and the service was great. By the time we were leaving, the police had shown up to direct traffic. They were making sure the drive-thru lines kept moving, helping people get out of parking spots, and just keeping the peace. Apparently I wasn't the only one anxiously waiting for Carl's to open. Tomorrow, we're going again, with Matt and the Villagomez family. I'm sure it'll be busy, and I'm not so sure we'll even be able to get tables together or even close. But that's okay. At least we'll get a good burger out of it.

Now if we could somehow convince someone in Texas to open a Del Taco we'd be set. Anyone want to try and ship me a combo burrito and some chili-cheese fries?

Carl's Jr update

Cristy drove by Carl's again today while out running errands. She stopped by and talked to the guy installing the drive-up intercom. He said that the store owner was trying to get the place open by three today. The intercom installer didn't think they were going to make that but thought they might open tomorrow (1/15)!

So I had to take the girls to the doctor's this week and I got a
chance to check their weights.

Megan weighs 19.2 pounds

Morgan is 16 even

Big sister Maggie feeding the babies

Carl's Jr is almost here!

We drove by the building that we were guessing was going to be the new Carl's Jr and sure enough it is. From the looks of it I think they have another month or two before it is finished. Mmmmm Super Star with cheese.
