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.

New Year… New Goals

Resolutions/goals, call them what you will. Here are a few that I have for 2011…

1. Save more… big plans require big money so we need to save as much as we can.
2. P90X… I bought it months ago… I will actually do it this year.
3. Keep making good health choices… a healthy body and healthy mind are keys to all goals.
4. Blog more… yeah, I’ve been slacking.
5. Ride more… I’d love to take a weekend trip on my motorcycle.
6. Spend less time working on nights and weekends… it doesn’t make me happy.

Additions
7. Learn Italian (I bought Rosetta Stone Italian a few weeks ago so I’m moving on this one)
8. Come up with my own recipe for home made chili

What resolutions do you have for this year?

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!
