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.

Bella Turns 5

Monday, July 20, 2009 at 10:42pm Posted in Announcements, Bella

Bella turned 5 over the weekend and I can’t believe how fast the time has gone by. Soon we’ll be bringing home a new baby, but we’ll always have room in our hearts for our first fur-baby.

Then:
Probably my favorite photo of her as a pup… this was only a few days after we brought her home.

I don’t care if this one is out of focus, I love it!

She still loves her tennis balls

She’s still a bit unsure about bath time.

Now:
We got her a new toy for her birthday… Al-the-gator. Little did she know he could climb trees…

But she managed to get him down…

And show him who’s boss

Happy birthday b-girl! You’ll always be our ball of golden sunshine.
