Christmas

Aaron and I went back to the East Coast for 10 days over Christmas this year! It was so fun to spend time with friends and family in Virginia, as well as in South Carolina. Here are some highlights of our trip!

 Mom's Mantel, with the addition of Cole's stocking! 


 Aaron got to put the top on this year. What a lucky guy! 


 "Cupfast", cupcakes for breakfast, with my favorite Alexandria ladies! 


Amanda, Casey & Cole. 

 What a cute kid. 6 teeth! 


 Apparently those teeth are sharp! 


 He is super close to walking!


 Opening his present from the Wilsons!


 Waiting on the women to get ready for Christmas Eve.


 Christmas morning! He got a trike...


 and a music set! drum, maraca and tambourine!


 Aaron got Robert a pipe so they could have some "man time"


 Cole looooves his Daddy!


After Christmas we went to South Carolina to visit family. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from that, but we had a fantastic time visiting with everyone. On our way back, Aaron and I got to spend quality time with Katherine & Jay in Waynesboro, VA. It was so great to see her and her new baby bump! I can't wait to meet baby girl Hawkins in April! 
Then on New Years Eve day, Aaron and I went up to Baltimore to see Camden Yards. We visited the stadium, the birth place of Babe Ruth museum and had a great lunch at Pickles Pub right across from the stadium.

We had a great time, but after 10 nights and 4 bed rotations, we are happy to be back in our own apartment and our own bed! Aaron is already back to school, but I don't start again until the 23rd! Hopefully that means I can get a head start on some reading. Wish me luck!

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.  ...
