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.

Daddy Days: Day 45

Today is officially the last “home with just Daddy” day *sniffle* (Mommy is working from home tomorrow and has Friday off… and I go back to work on Monday). As much as I’ve complained to Melanie when she gets home from work about how Cole wouldn’t nap or how many diaper changes I had to do or how much Cole cried during the day nothing can diminish the satisfaction that I get from knowing that I had this opportunity to bond with my son. This isn’t a recap post or a post reflecting on this experience (that’ll come in a few days), but I just wanted to mark the final day of just the two of us (and Bella of course).

I wish I could say that we had a magical day, but the reality is that he’s just getting over being in PA for 10 days and having his 4 month vaccine shots so he’s still a bit on the cranky side. We did manage to get in some playtime in the morning, a lunch date with Mommy, a bit of shopping at Babies-R-Us, and an afternoon walk.

Today’s photos:
(Bella got a little closer than normal to us today while we were playing on the floor… and Cole took the opportunity to show her how good his little grasp is)

December 31, 2009 - 6:37 am jen - I just LOVE these photos! The ones of him on the green flower blanket at PERFECT in every way! He is seriously the cutest baby ever!!! As I look to you as an inspiration in documenting your 'real' life I realize that when they are babies it is a great time to do it....my girls just get annoyed with me when they see me sneaking around with the camera! LOL! =) Maybe he'll be well-trained so that when he is 8 he won't mind as much! =) Enjoy your last days home and cherish this time - it has been a blessing for you all! Happy New Year!!
