Winter...sort of

The other day we decided to get out for awhile and take Parker to the park (haha) and give the swings a try. Doesn't he look cute in this sweater his Great Grandma Best knit for him?

Check out what Sam was wearing. We are so blessed.

Free Stuff

Amazon is giving away one free Christmas song everyday until Christmas! You can download the past ones and check everyday until the 25th for new songs! They have some pretty good ones too. Go Here.

Seven Months

Am I the only one who can't believe the Little Man is already 7 months old?

And this is why it's getting MUCH harder to take these monthly pictures of him...

Video!

Sam's throwing him around so it's hard to see him, but you can hear him!

Cancelled

If you know the Schmidt's, you know that we are big TV watchers. We're not lazy, but we do enjoy a watching the telly every now and then (or everyday). We're not picky; we watch everything from the Hills, to The Office, to Pushing Daisies. I would go though all the programs we regularly watch, but that might be a little embarassing. Not to mention lately football has been on almost EVERY night. Boo! Plus basketball. And soccer. And Ultimate Fighting.

No longer. We decided to downgrade our service to just basic cable. We decided it was just becoming a waste of time, especially all the HGTV and ESPN watching. I'm actually really excited and I've started making a list of all the things I'm going to do instead of watching tv.

1. Read
2. Learn to sew (after I get a sewing machine)
3. Make some art for my walls
4. Learn digital scrapbooking (does anyone know anything about this, what's the best program...I'm thinking about Photoshop Elements. Thoughts?)

This is big for us!
