these boots are made for walkin'

Alright, those of my college friends might remember a pair of pink and brown boots that I love! I tried to find a picture of me in them, but I think they are all on my external hard drive. Anyway. Unfortunately, the very bottom of the heel sole fell off one of them at least 2 or 3 years ago. In fact, I can't even remember the last time I wore them! I've been diligently moving them around with me since, surprisingly keeping track of said fallen-off-sole-piece.

Well, my friends, today is the day I finally fixed them! Last Sunday I wanted to wear them to church and remembered I had some double sided sticky wall tape in a drawer. It worked! but only for about 3 hours.

Here are the remnants of that sad afternoon,

Someone suggested that I just nail the sole back in. The combination of new jeans that are a bit long and not wanting to wear wedges gave me just the motivation to get out my hardware and give it a try!

It was pretty simple. The fallen off sole was pretty rubbery, so it took some intense boot between the legs stabilization to get through that layer, but then it was super easy! It probably took all of 2 minutes.

Voila! We have wearable boots!! My only regret is that I didn't get myself together to fix this before I got married so I could have worn them under my dress. Though, I'm sure my mom is pretty happy about that :)

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 ...

Baby Boy #3!

We are expecting baby boy #3 and since I documented a good amount of my pregnancies with the older two, I want to at least start off giving this one the same treatment! I am due May 25th, though he'll probably come around the 18th by c-section. We found out in my 18 week appointment that we were having a boy and I can honestly say I've been super excited since. With two older brothers already ruining, I mean running, the house, I'm happy to bring another boy into our crazy. This pregnancy will always be remembered by having to have my gall bladder removed at week 11. As soon as I hit 6 weeks I started having intense gall bladder pain. I've dealt with gall stones since Canon was born, but they were always singular events that would pass in about 4 hours, and this pain was consistent and all day/night long. The doctors I saw encouraged me to manage it with diet and hope to get to 16 weeks before discussing surgery. I tried everything, which pretty much meant eating noth...

what's going on

We're starting to try some rice cereal. I've been pretty sporadic about it, but after his 6 month appointment (which is NEXT WEEK!) I'll start putting "solids" into our every day routine. Canon has found his feet! Now every diaper change is just the most fun, trying to get those toes into his mouth! Canon is officially rolling over, both sides! This particular picture happened when I had gone into my bedroom for a hot second and came out to find him on his tummy! He can do it regularly now, though he doesn't love being on his tummy and rolls back over quickly. Other things going on: Canon is officially sleeping unswaddled!! I guess around 2 weeks ago, we started again with the one arm out and went from there. He now sleeps in a fleece sleep sack with arms. I'm not going to lie, the process wasn't quite as daunting as I had originally thought, but I think that is because we waited until he was really ready. ...
