Family Photos

First of all, I want to apologize for #1 the absence of blog posts lately, and #2 what will be a landslide of posts comin' at ya!

We have been busy around the Schmelzer house. Projects, visitors, appointments, projects, day trips, did I mention projects? I have been without a computer for the last few days, but fear not, I am back online and ready to go!

I'll start with some good ol' family photos! A few weeks back we had our family pictures taken by a friend of mine who I met while teaching and coaching at CM. It was a beautiful day, and we got some great pics! You got a sneak peak of some of them in my anniversary post, but I wanted to share a few more! Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

10 Months!

Gaber D is TEN MONTHS OLD!

I know I say this every month, but time is flying. and he is growing. and growing. and growing. Time, slow down!

Latest stats...

Weight- 18 lbs. 12 oz.

Height- 29 1/2 inches

Has his front 2 bottom teeth, and top right tooth.

Has mastered the army crawl, and is desperately working on full out crawling.

Can sit up from any position.

Can feed himself and is eating mostly finger foods.

Loves to stand next to the couch and ottomen!

Still loves his jumper and working on his hops.

Bathtime continues to be the best time of the day :)

Favorite toy at the moment is stackable cups. And his tractor.

Loves watching the kitties and army crawling after them. He has caught them a time or two :)

Oh Gabers, you are a goofy little man.

Just love this kid :)

{3 Years}

Today is our third anniversary. Three years.

Part of me can not believe how fast time has went by. Sooo much has happened in three years. Multiple jobs, multiple moves, buying a house, having a baby... SOOO MUCH craziness!

And part of me feels like we have always been together. We are meant to be together. Life is how it should be, almost easy.

Not to say marriage is easy. It takes WORK! and lots of patience. and a dishwasher.

We didn't have a dishwasher our first year of marriage. It was difficult. Our advice to newlyweds...

GET A DISHWASHER. Marriage is much happier with a dishwasher :)

Three years ago, we were blessed to be surrounded by our family and friends. We had a beautiful ceremony in my hometown church.

 

I said "I do", and he did too :)

And we had a really fun party! Lots of laughing. Lots of dancing. Lots of, ahem, water.

Lots of memories!

And we were in LOVE!

SAPPY ALERT!

Little did I know how much love can grow over three years.

With every job, every move, every decision, our love has grown.

And then came Gabe. I know everyone says that you don't understand love until you have a child, and that is true. But you also have no understanding of how much you love your husband until you see them with your child. Smiling. Laughing. Loving.

 

Love grows and grows!

I am blessed. We are BLESSED!
