We'll Be In Touch

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

We have officially been here for 5 months now and I have to admit, it has been a great first (almost) half a year! A pretty quick run-down of life over the last few months. * June 11th Aaron started his Summer Greek class with about 18 other first year seminary students. That ran for 10 weeks and ended mid-August. He passed with an A! * Towards the end of June I started working as the Office Admin at Lutheran South Unity School. At that point, all 3 boys were in daycare/summer camp at Mt.

This school just opened last year and has been a great fit for him! There are just 9 kids (so far!) who range from 6-9 years old and most of them are boys. We're so glad there is a classical o

Let's just jump right in, shall we? At the beginning of June my family moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana. Aaron is starting the M.Div program here at Concordia Seminary and it was strongly suggested we get here in time for him to take summer Greek.  I ended my job and the little boys' school years on June 1.  Aaron and Canon finished their year a week later on the 8th.  The process to get here was somewhat quick. While Aaron has loved teaching for the past 10 years, especially at Immanuel, we both knew he was feeling a little restless the past 2. So, when in October he told me he was "meeting with our pastor to discuss becoming a pastor", I wasn't entirely surprised. I have always thought he would be a great second career pastor, and that his giftings in teaching and community organizing would suit him well in that role.  After a few meetings and phone calls with other wise people, Aaron was confident enough to have us go visit. We f
