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.

Everyone is feeling better

Apparently the call for good vibes worked because we’re all feeling pretty good. Cole hasn’t enjoyed the taste of the antibiotics, but they are working because he’s back to his smiley self and is almost back to his normal sleeping schedule. Thanks for everyone who sent good thoughts our way.

Here are a few photos… not new, just processed to look like Polaroids (I love Polaroids)

What a week

This past week was a mess. We got a call from school on Wednesday that Cole had vomited a few times and they needed us to pick him up. So we both left work early… I swung by the school and picked up Cole and Melanie headed home so she would be there to take care of him once we got there. Other than vomiting he was in happy spirits… odd… no fever. By 2pm the next day his vomiting had cleared up… all was looking good… and then Friday morning hit. 3am Mel is up vomiting… by 6am I’m in the other bathroom doing the same… by 3pm we threw in the towel and had to call in help (THANK YOU JEN AND STEPH!). The good news is that we have great friends and they were able to take Cole overnight and deliver us some much needed supplies. We’re feeling better now, but that was a week and weekend that I don’t want to repeat. And now I’m going to leave you with some photos while I go firefight a problem at work.
