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.

Who Dat?

This past week was a pretty eventful week (and I’m going to include today in that week)…

  • Upped Cole’s bottles to 5 ounces
  • I supported a 14 hour software release for work on Saturday
  • The Colts and Saints won their respective conference championship games to earn a spot in the Superbowl (for the Saints this will be their first ever appearance in the Superbowl… the subject line of this post is a shout out to them)
  • We bought a Blu-ray player and upgraded our home theatre system (more toys for me)
  • We had dinner with Steph, Dave, AJ, and Katie at Rudy’s tonight (always good to hang out with friends)

This coming week is going to be eventful too. My birthday is on Thursday the 28th (33 years old). Melanie and I are going to celebrate with a dinner at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in downtown (pricey, but sooo good). We’re upping Cole’s bottles to 6 ounces and planning on introducing solids to his diet in the next couple of weeks. Cole’s teachers told us that he’s starting to roll over from back to front which is a good sign of the progress he’s making on muscle control. He’s definitely getting stronger… constantly wanting to sit up when we put him on his back (check out the photo below of him trying to sit up in his bathtub).
