Dating a Couple

By
Does anyone else know what I mean by 'dating a couple'? Let me explain. Once you get married you are finished dating. Hopefully you realize that you found the best man or woman out there for you. You love being able to come home to someone who you want to share your day with, helps lift you through tough times, enjoys the good, laughs through the stupid, and inspires you through this journey of life. Danny truly is that to me. Both of us are blessed with amazing friends, however, when we got married and had kids it was hard for us to find "a couple". Maybe it is that life get busier, kids take time, etc, etc. Well, for one reason or another, we always felt we were lacking a couple. A wife and husband who we both wanted to hang out with, with similar philosophies, goals, personalities, hobbies, etc. After years of searching, we are happy to announce we are courting a great couple. Stacey is into photography, hysterical, outgoing, fun, smart, a great mommy! And Erik loves cars, fixing things, is intellectual, a hard worker, laid back and together they are so much fun. Did I mention Scott loves Charlie and all his cars, trucks, trains and toys. So if you are out there in search for your couple, good luck and dont give up. There is sure to be one out there for you. And if you are planning on stealing ours or think this is your couple, remember that couple dating isn't the exclusive art that single dating is. Good luck fellow daters.

Oh that totally makes me laugh! It is so true. Ben and I have basically one other couple we hang out with--they went on our cruise with us--and it's super fun! We've tried to find others, but we're sticking with the on we've got. I'm glad you found yours!

I'm so happy that you found your couple!! We are still in search... we have lots of friends individually, but it's a rare find to have a husband AND a wife that you can both click with!

My mom is in town from Utah. She spent the night at the hospital last night and has been holding Tyler quite a bit. He really enjoys being held, so he's less fussy and has responded well to the weaning of the oxygen. He's on regular air, but I guess it's still the high-flow to keep his lungs inflated. He's up to 9 cc's of food per hour, an improvement over yesterday's 2 cc's. The picture is of Betty and Bob Maddox (Heather's in-laws), Jacquie Lietz (Heidi's mom), Heather Maddox (Heidi's sister), and Walt Lietz, Heidi's dad. They did a 5K walk to raise money for the American Heart Association. Thanks to all who donated on behalf of Heather and Tyler!

Ok, should we just rename our blog the McMillan Pediatrics Medical Journal? Everyone has issues. Our family is congenital medical disorders. Tylers heart, Carls brain and Dannys Hips. Danny had hip discomfort growing up, visited the doc at 17 and was dismissed with "bad hips." He learned to make the best of his hips by monitoring his activity, walking slowly, making me wear hiking packs and taking breaks. After experiencing back pain this year he went to a doctor who took one look at his x-ray and sent him to orthopedics who sent him to a surgeon. We are blessed with a great friend who is amazing hip surgeon and chief of orthopedics AKA John Kronick who guided us in our decision. Our family is always taken care of in miraculous ways. Here are his hips: The Problem: acetabular (hip) dysplasia is a congenital disorder usually formed by age 3. His acetabular is more dish shaped instead of cup shaped. A normal hip would surround the head of his femur. His X-ray shows signs of art
