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 21 (outside xmas lights are up)

Sunday, December 6, 2009 at 8:56pm Posted in Cole, Troy

Ya gotta love Sundays. A day to relax, do some things around the house, catch up on DVR’d shows, and watch some football. Today was an especially good Sunday for me because…

  1. The Eagles won and the Cowboys lost
  2. I put up our outside Christmas lights (photos below)
  3. The Longhorns are officially going to play for the National College Football Championship on January 7th against Alabama
  4. Melanie made an awesome dinner (pork loin, hashbrown potatoes, and escalloped apples)… yum

Congratulations Texas Longhorns! It was a tough win, but they pulled it out. 2009 Big 12 Champions!
