Greenville Visit October 2015

Over Columbus Day weekend my mom and I took the boys down to South Carolina to visit my family. On Friday morning we loaded up the minivan and headed out for a long drive. Never was I more happy to have a van when we could fit everything we needed in the trunk and I could still see out the back window. Oh, and having a DVD player is pretty nice too :)

We stopped at Chick-Fil-A about half way down to let the boys get out some energy. This kid showed off his flirting skills the whole time!

We arrived in Greenville at my aunt Fran's house right about dinner time. She has two boys and saved some of their toys and Canon was very happy to play with these army guys all weekend! We had dinner Friday night with everyone, including Grandmama, Jake and Nick! We woke up to rain on Saturday, but that didn't stop us from having a great day!

Canon came to Clemson in 2013, when he was just over a year old, so this was an entirely different experience. He kept asking to go see the "Football guys" and was really into everything!

Though we missed Tiger Walk, we did wait and watch the band come through. It was SO FUN and totally worth it. Canon was mesmerized by all the instruments and people, he even got to give the Tiger cub a high five!
Right after the band passed us I was hold Canon and everyone started to do our cheer. I couldn't even get through it - looking up and Canon doing the cheer with everyone around us, I totally started to cry. I was so proud and it was such a moment getting to share the place I love so much with my boys!!

My cousin Nick is a senior at Clemson this year and we'll be so sad when he graduates. Of 8 cousins, 4 of us attended (and only 2 of the 8 parents did). Sharing Clemson with my family, when I didn't grow up with it, has been such a blessing!!

We got home in time to watch most of the game on TV and get a few more family photos before it was everyone's bedtime.

Sunday we woke up early and drove to Charlottesville to see Amanda's family. Piling everyone into the van was another favorite moment! Canon and Cole in the way back, Ben, MoMo and Wes in the middle and us up front. Normally when we go places we have to take 2 cars, so until one of us has another baby, we'll enjoy riding together!

The boys in their matching PJs! Cole - 4.5, Canon - 3, Wes - 23 months and Ben - 10 months!

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

We'll Be In Touch
