Pumpkin Carving

We thought Isaac would love all the slimy stuff inside the pumpkin but he really could care less...
the only part he really seemed to enjoy was taking the lid off and putting it back on.
and drawing some "hair" on the outside.

Oktoberfest

On Sunday we spent a windy afternoon at the Phoenix Club for Oktoberfest.
Isaac was not too into wearing his "lederhosen" at first.
So the suspenders were a little long...

With Opa!

Camping in Julian






A few weeks ago we took our first little family "camping" trip. We stayed in a little cabin but cooked outdoors, etc. Unfortunately, this area has been hard hit again by the fires this week, so who knows if our little cabin is still standing!!

An Explanation

My apologies to you faithful folks who come here to see updated pictures and anectodes of our lives!! I realize it's been a while since I've really posted anything. Trust me, I've written many blog entries in my mind and have intended numerous times to upload a few pics but.... I attribute the decrease in blog activity to two major converging events in the Schmidt household:

One, the switch from two naps a day to one for Isaac. I'm missing that 9AM break!!!

Two, I'm pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which means when Isaac naps, I nap. It's about all I can do these days to take care of Isaac, do some grocery shopping, and some nights get dinner on the table! Thankfully I have a great husband who picks up a lot of slack and doesn't complain too much about me going to bed by 8:30 or 9 whenever I can! Anyways, the baby's due date is on Isaac's birthday (exactly!), May 17th. We are very excited and grateful to God that so far everything seems to be going well!!

Hopefully when I'm out of this first trimester I'll have a little more energy back to stay on top of things (like blogging) a little better.
