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.

happy halloween!

True to the beautiful weather that Austin is known for, today was sunny and 75… October 31st and it felt like a springtime day… gotta love it. Not a whole lot going on at the Schneider house today. We hung out and watched some football (the Horns dominated tonight) and we put a bowl of candy out for the kiddos (too many germs for us to be putting Cole out there with them this year)… but we did dress Cole up as a puppy dog… so cute.

Happy Saturday!

It was an absolutely gorgeous day here in Austin… sunny and 75… and we had an excellent day. Cole was all smiles and he (as well as B girl) enjoyed the walk we took this evening. It’s nearing kick off time of the Texas/Missouri football game so I have to get downstairs soon, but I wanted to post a couple of photos to keep y’all coming back :)

Bath Time!

It’s always nice when we can give Cole a bath and he doesn’t have a meltdown :)

There are few things better than having your son/daughter fall asleep in your arms…
