Well it’s been about a month since I last uploaded any new pictures or blogged so you should expect tons of pictures! Well…. unfortunately I haven’t been taking very many so the few recient pictures I took you can look at through the link below. I did add a bunch of picture my dad took from when I was kid, do they look like Noah? There are some pretty funny ones though. Since a lot has been going on this month I’ll just list out the old and the new.

THE OLD:
1. Noah got his first tooth [aka toofer] mid month and is working on his second one. Lots of Tylenol for the little guy. I’ll try to get a picture of it soon.

2. Noah can stand up if you hold his hands. And when he does you can see like 20 fat rolls in his stiff little legs

3. He started eating veggies, so far Peas, Squash, Carrots, sweet potatoes. I have pictures of his first food trial but he didn’t even make a face, he just ate it. Not picky that’s for sure. We also bought him a high chair which makes it much much easier!

4. Snow, snow, snow, it’s come and goes and comes back again. Yesterday was especially cold, the “feels like” temperature was -44F at one point. Ouch.

5. I switched my job hours so now I’m working three 12 hour shifts a week which is nice because I have a lot more time at home.

6. I also completed the referrals I needed to get the Xbox 360 Elite and Ipod Itouch, but instead I took the cash option and bought a weight set and saved the rest! Free money [$830] is always good. You might remember my post a few months ago about this. Thanks to all that helped! If you are interested in getting free cash or a free Iphone you can sign up through my brother by clicking here

THE NEW:
1. Adrienne and I are going out of town with Dan and Maggie to Duluth, MN. I’ll be taking lots of pictures then so keep posted for those but basically it will be several days of skiing, snow shoe walking, Imax movies, massages, and sleeping in!

2. My parents and Grace and Mark are coming out to watch Noah, Ruby, Titus, and the doggies. They will be here surrounding our trip too so that should be fun.

3. Adrienne and I are attempting to work out more consistently, keep looking at upcoming pictures to tell if that works out for us or not.

A lot has been going on since I last wrote. My parents and Poppop came out from Pennsylvania to meet Noah and Titus for the first time, Adrienne made Thanksgiving dinner for everyone (15 people) and we had a little “Schmoyer Christmas” the day after thanksgiving since we won’t be together on actual Christmas day. We made candies, cookies, and more food than you could imagine. And by “We” I mean Adrienne, Maggie and Dana. The pictures tell most of the story but in case you don’t look at them everything went well. I can’t say some of us aren’t tired, for the past 10 days we have been driving around a lot, doing lots of activities and games, but it was all worth it. Grace and Mark sure look older and sound it too. Grace is really into photography and art, and Mark is pretty much into football, basketball and the guitar. Noah is getting bigger and bigger and today we can see the start of his first tooth, he also rolled over from back to front again today for the 4th time in his life. The downside is he loves to scratch his head while he sleeps, making us look like terrible parents We have solved this problem for now with socks on his hands. haha. So yea, excellent progress. Adrienne is sleeping now as is Noah, so I guess will just try to get some rest for the next few days, although it will be short lived as we are going to be undertaking the feat of driving to Houston, TX for Christmas this year. Pray Noah will have a very “Silent Night” that drive. I’ll be working a lot until then so enjoy these pictures for now and hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I thought my next blog would be about the baby but since that hasn’t happened I thought I would update you guys. So, Adrienne still hasn’t had a baby yet, it’s not that there isn’t a baby in there, it’s pretty clear looking at her belly there is a baby, possible 4 or 5 inside there. Or maybe one very fat baby I’ve been taking some pictures and will update them when our internet works a little more consistently but for now I’ll just put in a little note about the baby. Since Adrienne was due to have the baby months ago (ok two days ago) and still hasn’t had the little guy she has an induction scheduled for Monday at 7am, which means the baby could come anytime between now and Tuesday, although we are hoping for RIGHT NOW! Tim’s birthday is Tuesday so who knows there might be two Schmoyer boys with that birthday. It is the 26th right Tim? Anyway, we also had another doctor visit this week, another ultrasound, and a non stress test of baby, everything checks out perfectly which was good to hear. We feel ready for the baby now, the house has been cleaned several times in preparation for baby, the deck we had built is about 5 hours from being completed, our bags are packed, batteries charged and the car seat all set up in the car. I’m pretty sure I put the car seat in correctly, although the hardest part was finding the 2 English written pages in the 150 page instruction manual! So hopefully this will be the last blog until we have pictures of the baby and something exciting to write about. Until then I’ll just continue to hang out with my beautiful pregnant wife who is just glowing with joy, energy and life in preparation for birth! Ok that last part isn’t true but for the sake of my marriage I won’t tell you how an overdue pregnant woman in 90 degree weather with acid reflux, a bladder the size of a pin head, a 10lb baby inside who seems to constantly be running on a treadmill , an aching body unable to bend in any direction and unable to take any medications…feels That’s just the “appropriate for writing” problem list, there are so many more issues that will hopefully all be gone come Tuesday! Welp, hope all is well with everyone else and pray for Adrienne on Monday!

As requested Maggie you can now look at all my pictures starting in December to present on the photo page. Nothing new going on here, weathers getting nicer and Adrienne’s getting……well lets just be honest her belly is huge right now June 19th is approaching quickly! We only have 2 more baby classes to go to on Wednesday nights and then we are ready (in theory) to have a baby This is a picture of his first bed, and one of a multitude of stuffed animals friends he can choose from. Click on the picture to see the rest of the babies room.

Since I have my own site now I though I would post this here too.  

Adrienne and I are now homeowners! YAY! It was a busy day but now it’s all over and good. Our move in dates is for May 1st, which puts our walk through and the final paperwork for moving in the last week in April. I put pictures of the house, although its hard to tell what room is which. I know it seems like a quick decision and you’d be right in thinking that. Although I won’t get into all the reasons we bought so early but lets just say God dropped an amazing deal in our lap that was too good to pass up, and worked out every detail along the way. We are very blessed
