Troy and Melanie (dot com) bio picture

Welcome to our life!

We are a growing family located in Austin, TX.  Not too long ago it was just the two of us.  Then we added our fur-baby, Bella.  And most recently we added our son, Cole.  This blog was created to keep our friends and families updated on the goings on at the Schneider household.  Given the new arrival, many of the posts will be geared towards our struggle to learn how to be good parents.  

We enjoy watching movies, traveling, photography, reading, and hanging out with friends (preferably while doing anything in this list).  You are bound to read some funny stories here as we try to keep it light hearted and you'll definitely see a pile of photos.

So if you like a post, want to share your opinion, or just want to say hi feel free to leave us a comment.  We *love* comments.

Yard sale success!

yard20sale20categoryMelanie and I seem to have luck with yard sales. The last one we had we recouped a few hundred dollars and this morning we had another one (making room for Peanut) and we sold nearly $500 worth of things. If you had looked at some of the prices items were sold at you would have been amazed (32″ TV for $22, receiver and speakers for $50, PS2 for $40). The most important thing for us was getting rid of items that we no longer use… mission accomplished.

I ran the sale from 8am until 11am (Mel got to sleep today) and sold nearly everything that was put up for sale. The last item to go was the TV so that should explain the crazy low price. I just wanted to get the dang thing out of the house. Stopping at 11 was perfect… the traffic was thinning out, I was running out of things to sell, and it was beginning to get hot.
