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 15

Another day in the books. No funny stories or happenings today… just a regular day. We read for a bit, listened to music (including a best of CD from the Land of Nod… thanks Jen!), did a bit of tummy time, and managed to get in a walk. Today did have a first… this was the first night that I spent with Cole by myself… he’s not a very happy camper in the evenings and true-to-form he had a meltdown and then passed out around 8:30. Tomorrow’s weather looks really crappy (90% chance of rain and a high of 48) so it will likely be an inside day for us.

Bath Time!

It’s always nice when we can give Cole a bath and he doesn’t have a meltdown :)

going for a walk

We took Cole out for his first ride in the stroller yesterday afternoon. All indications point to him enjoying it… he slept :)

We were just hanging out in the kitchen and Cole was being pretty agreeable.

Baby C is Home

Yeah… it’s 4:30am and I’m awake… I get the late night shift for a couple of days. I’m not complaining… he’s fun to be around (when he’s not screaming and I can usually calm him down so I don’t spend too much time dealing with him yelling at me :) ). Here’s a little video that Melanie shot today shortly after we arrived home (I love the little bear feet!).
