Here are some adorable photos from the last month or so…we have been busy as always and fall in Minnesota is definitely here. Noah is learning so much these days, it really is amazing how much he understands and communicates now. He does the baby sign language for please, thank you, help, more, and all done. It is so cute, and when he gets really frustrated with something he will do please, then help, then thank you in rapid succession over and over until David or I come to the rescue. Some of the picure highlights include: Us at an apple orchard that had a small pumpkin patch a few weeks ago with Dan, Maggie, Ruby & Ti…those pics are especially cute. There are also some from when I had a bunch of my church friends over with their kiddos to make orange ti-dye shirts with jackolantern faces on them. We had quite a few munchkins dressed up as pumpkins that day! Also, I must explain the picture of Noah sitting on the floor with Nilla wafers all around him…that was my day to sleep in and apparently David was working on school in the office, Noah had been quiet for a while and so David went to check on him and found the pantry door open the nilla wafers missing and Noah sitting in a pile of them on the floor. So funny! Noah was really proud of himself and his accomplishment that day…who knows how many he ate! As for the rest they are just random, enjoy!
Much love,
Adrienne, David, and nOah
This past Saturday David and I ran in our first official race…we have been training now for 3 months or so to run in Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth at the end of June and part of that training was to run in a half marathon first. We ran the Earth Day Half Marathon in St. Cloud, MN with a couple of his friends from work. We finished the 13.1 miles in 2 hours and 17 minutes without having to walk at all! That was my main goal, to not walk and to run it all. Our time is not good, but its not bad either. We maintained a 10 & a half minute mile. We were very excited to have accomplished this goal, but I must admit that it does make me slightly terrified to run a full marathon. I cannot imagine that finish line being the half way mark!! We are continuing to follow our training schedule and hopefully we will be able to complete that goal as well. There are some pictures of the race and also some from Noah’s first official baseball game. We got some free tickets to the Twins game yesterday so we took him to that…the pictures are adorable of him in his little Twins outfit. Also we had a cook out on the first official NICE day in Minnesota for like 5 months…(I told David if it snows one more time here I am putting our house on the market!) And no, Noah wasn’t really eating corn on the cob. That’s all for now, hope all is well with everyone!

Well I know I just posted a video of Noah a little bit ago but since he started crawling tonight I had to take a quick shot and put the clip online. We are so proud of the little guy, although in the upcoming days I a bet stuff starts getting broken around the house from the little munchkin. The website was down for a while so there might be some glitches while I was updating it, although I think I got most of the problems fixed. Adrienne and I are running in a half marathon this Saturday so wish us luck! We’ll keep you updated on life here and hope all is well with everyone!
Christmas, Christmas, Christmas! In the interest of time I’ll try to keep this note short, but the bullet points since I last wrote pretty much include getting ready for and having Christmas. We drove down to Houston, TX for Christmas with Adrienne’s family which was really fun, Noah slept through the entire 21 hour drive down there and back. I don’t have to tell you what a blessing that was. It’s amazing what double strength Benadryl will do!…..haha, totally kidding. Anyway Noah was pretty much the star of Christmas getting so many gifts that we had to borrow Adrienne’s parents soft top travel container to fit everything on the way home! Adrienne got to see a lot of her old friends and we ate out a TON! [Thanks Mr. Thompson] We hit up so many restaurants we ended up going to some twice. All that to say Christmas was great and was the perfect first Christmas for the little guy Noah.

P.S. Adrienne’s favorite TV show from the poll is in fact “The Biggest Looser”
Noah & Titus Schmoyer were dedicated yesterday at church! The pictures show pretty much what it was like, but it was special that both Noah and Titus were able to have it done together. I gave up sleep even though I had worked the entire night before, and Dan gave up going to the Eagles vs Vikings football game for the occasion. Since Maggie and I both work different weekends it wasn’t easy planning. We were excited that Adrienne’s parents could be here for the dedication, and a good thing they were because now we have pictures of it! The pastor pretty much called us up after the music and before the sermon and explained what dedication is NOT, and then explained what it did mean, ending with a prayer for the babies. I don’t know if mentioned it before but I’ve been playing the guitar in church recently too, which could be view by some in the church as a step towards “contemporary worship”, so I’ve kept it pretty simple and quiet for now so the congregation can get used to having a guitar in the background. I like playing in church though because it’s getting me back to reading music more than tabs, it also give me an excuse to play my guitar more! I don’t know if I have said that before yet either, but since I was able to sell a few things on craigslist I bought a new guitar, the Taylor 814CE, it’s an electric acoustic and I love it! The pictures on the link show a “sunburst” top, but mine is just a light tan Sitka Spruce.
Well, the weather is getting colder and the leaves are pretty much all off the trees, but winter won’t be such a bad thing. I’m pretty much ready for the change. Adrienne and I have been decorating the downstairs so we will have a little more comfy area for family when they visit during the winter. We also got a ping pong table for the basement, and although it hasn’t really been broken in to much I’m sure we will when the Schmoyer come out and visit!
Well it’s been a busy few weeks since I last updated the site, Noah is bigger than ever, Adrienne’s grandparents, aunt and cousins came to visit, and little Titus Schmoyer was born! It was great to have more of Adrienne’s family out to visit, despite the continual rain the entire weekend they were here. We pretty much hung out inside and went to softball games in the rain on Sunday. I was in a tournament the whole weekend which was a first time for me playing softball; Adrienne’s cousin was even able to play with us on the church team which helped a lot. Having Titus born was really exciting, it’s amazing how much bigger Noah looks compared to Titus, although I’m sure they will even out soon enough. Titus (aka “baby ti” as Ruby calls him) was 8lbs 7oz, 20.5 inchs long and born at 6:09pm on 8/20/2007. Noah is excited to have some good competition growing up. I won’t write a lot about little Titus Schmoyer but you can have a look at his pictures and see updates about how he is doing through looking at Dan Schmoyer’s website by CLICKING HERE. I will post the updated pictures from little/not so little Noah and Titus, as well as pictures from Adrienne’s family visit. I haven’t taken any new video but when I do I’ll post it here. Hope all is well with everyone and CLICK HERE FOR NEW PICTURES OF NOAH.
Well yesterday was little Noah’s one month birthday so we had a big bug theme party and invited lots of his friends over and we went crazy all night! ……ok we’ll that’s all a lie, except for the part of his one month birthday and the fact that we (meaning Adrienne) were up a lot in the night taking care of the little guy. I probably shouldn’t write this but it’s late and I’m exhausted from work so I’m delusional enough to just come out and say it. The little guy cries at night because he works on massive cartoon sounding man size toots you can hear blast through the night air! I’m pretty sure he gets that problem from Adrienne JK, I have no idea where he gets it but since I’m writing this blog I’m gonna say it’s Adrienne.
Anyway, the reason this blog is called facebook is cuz I just recently joined facebook and have been finding all kinds of people from the past and saying hi. If you don’t know what facebook is it’s basically a site where you can search for friends and show pictures, life updates, chat and join groups with similar interests. I don’t really know what the point of re-connecting with people I will most likely never see again or be involved with, but its fun to check up and see what everyone has done with their life. Married, babies, college… makes my life seem more normal I’ve even found a friend I meet one time at a camp over 14 years ago. Talk about the past, surprisingly enough she remembered me, which helped me look less like a stalker. Well I’m at work now and this is night 4 of 8 in a row because I picked up extra days to have off when Adrienne’s sister Sara and Josh come out to visit. I really miss Noah though when I’m at work this much, and tomorrow I won’t see him at all because I will get home at 8am and will be sleeping until I have to get up and drive right back to work at 2:30pm for another 12 hour shift. Boo Hiss. Oh well, hopefully Noah won’t remember that his Dad left him so long as a child. Adrienne does a good job taking care of him and the dogs, one of which (Timber) has decided that she won’t poop outside anymore. She has great control of herself because no matter how long we keep her outside the minute she gets back in she finds one of two places she picked and leaves her duty. That being said anyone who wants to buy a little dog for 1$ is welcome to her JK, although it is frustrating since she was completely potty trained before the baby was born. Any ideas anyone to get her back to going outside? Ok well this has been a super long blog and I’m sure the spelling off and the English is horrid, sorry Sara Davis, but you got the gist of what’s going on at the Noah Schmoyer house so for now I’ll leave you with a quote from the book Eragon that’s seems to apply perfectly to the ER, “You can’t argue with all the fools in the world”.

Well if you want the honest truth I’m not exhausted or that tired because Noah will sleep like a trooper until Adrienne wakes him up at night to feed, which means that I can practically sleep a full 8 hours a night which is defiantly nice. I’m not gonna write much now because it’s late thought, but I will post some more pictures of little Noah at home. The white hat he’s wearing in one of the pictures was Adrienne’s dads hat when he was little so I thought that was cute, also there a some pictures at the end of our new deck all finished and furnished! It’s so nice to be able to get to our yard and just hang out in the nice weather on it. Well we are all happy here and life with a baby has been fun thus far (knock on wood). Hope all is well with everyone and I’ll keep posting every few days for a while so people can see him.

I guess I should back up a bit for all those who don’t know the whole story of baby Noah. Here’s the short version. Since Adrienne was 6 days past her due date she was induced, which was supposed to start Monday morning at 7am, but due to bed availability we didn’t get there and started until 2:10pm. At about 4:15pm they started the IV and Pitocin running and her contractions were pain free until here water broke at 6:10pm. From there on out we both practiced the breathing and labor preparation stuff Adrienne learned from class. She followed her plan to go epidural free until about 2:10am when after hours of pain and failure of the baby drop down any further due to her tenseness, she gave in and got the epidural. That allowed her to relax enough for the baby to come down far enough to start pushing at 3:40am. After almost 2 hours of pushing little Noah came out at 5:20am. It wasn’t natural early labor we were both hoping for but a baby is a baby and since he’s so cure now we figured he just needed more time to get that way.
Well Adrienne is still at the hospital now but doing well, we were both excited about coming home today but since Noah had a temperature (99.4F)….or what the hospital considers a log grade temp they wanted to keep him one more night. The plan is to get up tomorrow, have Noah circumcised, go to a “homeward bound” class and then get home by 2pm. The doggies have been crazy at home all alone the past few days but they will live, each time I get home to feed they run around for 10 minutes trying to find Adrienne first, they miss her you can tell. One of the nurses said to bring home a blanket the baby had been sleeping in so the dogs could get used to the scent, I’m not sure how to tell if that worked but oh well we did it. The deck is just about completed on the
back of the house now, and things are finally seeming to come to an end. . . everything except the nights of lacking sleep but that’s to be expected. Well I know the pictures on the last blog i wrote were HUGE but I was in such a hurry to get back to the hospital I didn’t even check them, I think you’ll find these much nicer to look at. The verticle pictures are still larger but just click on any photo again after it’s open to close it and get back to the site. I finally got a few of his eyes a little open too, I guess because of his age he’s keeping them shut alot. Enjoy! Can’t wait to show him to everyone and pray we can go home tomorrow as planned!
