Canon's 2nd Birthday

I can't believe I have a 2 year old! As I sat rocking him last Wednesday night, his last night as a 1 year old, with his legs draped across my lap, I couldn't help but reminisce about all the hours I've spent rocking him in that same chair over the last 2 years. From swaddle, to sleep sack, to PJs and now even sometimes with tennis shoes on, he's grown so much since then! I've said it multiple times, the physical changes that have happened over this year have been harder on me than the previous one's. There is little baby left in my sweet boy, exchanged for a rowdy, wild, sometimes stubborn toddler who loves people, an audience and anything that he can throw! Aaron and I joke that the parenting part of this whole journey is really just now beginning and I'm excited to see what will happen this upcoming year.











For his actual birthday, we started the morning with coffee & breakfast with our favorite neighbors, Meg and Avery. Canon and I played on the playground a bit, I took him by Aaron's school to see his new class, then dropped him at daycare so I could work a bit. I picked him up in the afternoon and after playing at the playground some more, MoMo came over! She brought lots of play food for his new kitchen that we picked up from ILS and then we headed to her house for dinner and a sleepover.

Lest you think we didn't do anything exciting for his big day, we are hosting a Birthday Party/Flag Football Game this weekend to celebrate and I'm sure he will be delighted to entertain all the friends that are coming!

going public

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd

spill about your LOVE link-up

I'm linking up with A. Liz Adventures today for this fun little questionnaire!  {1} Describe your dating life prior to finding your husband/boyfriend/fiance. I had 2 serious relationships before meeting Aaron, one in high school (as serious as that can be, ha!) and one in college. Before meeting Aaron, I had been single for about 3 1/2 years. {2} Describe your husband/boyfriend/fiance in one word. How would he describe you in one word?   The word I always use to describe Aaron is steady. He is the calm to my crazy. Also, is faith is the most consistent and steadfast I've ever seen. He says to describe me in 1 word is too hard.  {3} You had a really silly fight. Embarrassing silly. What was it about? Our most frequent fight is over the dishes. And that seems silly to me.  {4} In three sentences (and only three!), describe where you both hope to be in 5 years. Surrounded by family and friends, probably with another child, in a house with a front porch

mid-month confessions

Y'all. I am SO excited for the return of mid-month confessions!! Elizabeth, over at Teaching Sam & Scout , used to do mid-week confessions that I linked up for a couple of times before her original blog shut down. Since starting at a new space and kind of rebranding herself, she's decided to get them going again, but once a month instead of once a week. AND she's partnered up with one of my best girls from Clemson, Heather! I'm really looking forward to this link-up each month! - First, I have to say, today was just one of those days, so this might be brief. - On Sunday, our youngest child, Ben (4 weeks) spit up straight into the mouth of our friend Geoff who was holding him. Yes, possibly more embarrassing for Geoff, but I felt terrible!   - When I wrote our family goals for 2015 on the blog, I purposefully left off one thing; brush Canon's teeth once a day. YES, I know. We're terrible and haven't quite worked it into our routines yet so
