we didn't know what we were getting into

A few weeks ago, Aaron and I headed down to the new Ikea that just opened in Centennial. It had been open for about 9 or 10 days by that point. Aaron had never been to an Ikea before and I tried to let him know that it wasn't just a furniture store. 3 hours later, I think he got it! Also, because this one had just opened, there were swarms of people! I'm not kidding, I felt like I was going to a concert!

Here are a few pics of things we (or I) liked!

lots of event staff were needed - clearly they were working hard

loved, loved, loved this dining table and chairs!

I have a thing for white couches

Aaron loved this floating bookshelf

another white couch

I'm contemplating this as the color scheme for the living room

really liked these lights under the shelves as well as the bar to hang things along the backsplash

grey floral curtains - i will be buying these soon!

the bed I picked out

the bed Aaron picked out

we definitely need something in the hallway to put mail, keys, etc

genius.


and of course, cheap food! 2 hot dogs, chips, a drink and ice cream for like $3.50

That was our trip to Ikea! We'll definitely be heading back soon to pick up a few things. Good things it's only 7 miles away :)

As a disclaimer, I feel that I need to add I was planning this post before younghouselove did theirs.

Any awesome finds that y'all would like to share?

His and Hers

Aaron has officially started his second year of seminary! To commemorate, I thought I'd paste the answers to some questions we were both recently asked. A way to get an idea of both sides of our life right now. My answers: How did you spend your summer? We had the best summer! Aaron took Hebrew in June and July, and I had my first summer as a stay at home mom. We went to the beach, pool, the library, visited Chicago and came to Alexandria twice!! What are you most looking forward to (in your 2nd year at Seminary)? The “cloud” over the 2nd year is getting ready for our vicarage. We’ll meet with the placement director in October and will find out the location in April! So there will be lots of hypothetical conversations, wishlists and prayers leading up to that! Otherwise, I’m excited that we’ll be just minutes away from our church and school. I hope to get our whole family to matins more weekdays than not and Canon will begin a first communion class this ...

22 weeks (5 months)

this kid cracks me up Just like every mom, I say this every month, but I can't believe he is already 5 months! I'm not going to lie, this event has really caused me to kick my mommy-ness into gear. It is time to get this kid together, ha! So this week I have been really intentional about making sure we get lots of tummy time in, practicing rolling over, lots of time in the bumbo chair and on the couch sitting up and being super silly to pull out those giggles! And honestly, we're having the best time! Not that I wasn't doing these things before, but I had a bit more laid back approach assuming that he'll just learn things on his own. And he will, but now I'm just more up in his face pushing him along! We got over being sick, for the most part, at the end of last week. Since he had been sick, I'd been rocking him a lot more, going into his room during naps/nighttime almost every time he cried, putting the pacifier back in his mouth, etc. Well, let me t...

Augustine Oliver Schultz

Early November 9th, we welcomed our fourth son, Augustine Oliver Schultz into the world! He was another scheduled c-section, at 39 weeks and 1 day. He weighed 9lbs 1oz, coming in 2nd only to Ben in terms of birth weight! My mom came into town the Tuesday beforehand and we checked lots of things off our list. With the exception of organizing clothes (thanks friends!), I had literally done nothing to get ready. We cleaned the room that will become his bedroom, separated clothes and swaddles, bought a changing table/dresser combo and she even gifted us a deep freezer! It was a very productive 2 1/2 days! The night before we continued a tradition of eating out at a mexican restaurant. Then came home and did all our normal bedtime routines. The boys knew that when they woke up they would be with my mom and we would be at the hospital. Before we all went to bed, we ended up around the dining table brainstorming more names. Going into the summer/fall we were somewhat set on Ari August...
