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 44

I don’t have terribly much to say today. We had a decent day. Cole is getting over his shots pretty well though we could tell that he wasn’t completely himself today. He did sleep last night, but not in his bassinet. He needed the comfort that only a mother can provide so he slept in the bed with us. Tonight, though, he’s back in his bassinet.

We finalized our mortgage refinance today… wiring the closing funds to the title company. It feels good to get that all finished. We’ll be saving a few hundred dollars a month going forward and don’t have any mortgage payments until March.

Today’s photos
