Halloween 2014

We started Halloween the Sunday beforehand with a test run of our costume for the Halloween Parade and Haunted Maze down on the main drag of Del Ray. Though we missed the actual parade (why do they always nap longest when there's actually something fun to do afterwards?!), Canon happily adorned his Olaf costume to play on the playground and go through the maze. Throughout this "Halloween season", I've learned my child really loves things that are scary. Or at least doesn't get the concept of scary. So while we there were creepily dressed up clowns and chain-saw noises throughout this maze (don't worry, it was 5pm, still light, in an open area), he laughed through the whole thing! That kid.... :) Then we carved our pumpkin and called it a successful afternoon! 





On Halloween I got lunch with the cutest little Chick-Fil-A cow you've ever seen! Canon was at daycare, dressing up and taking pics with his friends there. We swung by and got him after nap and then joined Meg & Chris & Avery again for pizza and trick-or-treating. Both Canon and Avery really got into the whole event, walking up and down the streets and digging for candy. I loved it! Halloween is so much more fun as a parent. We lasted about an hour, then tried to get more photos in our apartment stairwell. We are so lucky to have such great friends live right next to us to play with all the time!





 And last but not least, to round out the weekend, Canon had his last soccer practice. Aaron took him since I was feeling sick and apparently his coach said he was having "a challenging day"! Ha! We got a picture no less because it was such a fantastic experience for him and us! I would highly recommend getting your toddler involved in a group activity - no matter what it is! It was a great family time for us to get outside, watch Canon interact with others and laugh a lot! Thanks Coach Liz for a great season!

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 ...

Arise Campus Ministry 9.23.14

Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to be part of some awesome ministries. From time to time, I've been given the chance to speak and I wanted a place to keep those files. Here is where I'll post my talks, Bible Studies, etc that I'm either doing or creating.  Arise Campus Ministry at George Mason University 9.23.2014 This week I want to tell y’all a little about my story, because the word “belonging” is extremely significant in it. I came to Christ at the end of middle school – which for me were terrible years. Think about all the stereotypes of mean girls and being made fun of and left out, and that is my story. It all really fell apart for me at the beginning of my 9 th  grade year when every girl I had left middle school fighting to maintain a friendship with completely ignored me. I had a peripheral friendship with a girl who was a church goer and accepted her invitation to become part of their youth group. I had been on and off, but nev...

February Goals

Happy February! I'm joining Elizabeth and Sarah to talk about B+ Goals for the month! I am loving the idea of setting up some attainable goals for each month, but also giving myself grace for meeting or not meeting them. This year I am focusing on my Physical and Spiritual Health. First, a quick review of January's Goals. January Physical Health Goals : * hit my 10,000 steps 4 days of the week (I work a desk job, so this means I'll have to do some extra walking either before or after work) * track my food  January Spiritual Health Goals :  * read Simply Tuesday by Emily P Freeman * start my day with Jesus Calling and First 5 App   As my husband would say, I won more days than I lost in January! My fitbit broke 3 weeks into January, so the last week and some I wasn't able to track, but I did get to the gym to run a few times without it. I also tracked more food than I didn't and the days we were at work I did really well staying w...
