10 Months

Mr. Man is still army crawling, although he appears to be attempting the full blown crawl. He mostly tries this if he is only in his diaper and has no other way of scooting across the floor on his belly. He is quite comical as we have reflective tiles in the kitchen and he has noticed his reflection in them and has started kissing his face. We couldn't figure out what he was doing until we realized what he saw.


He is eating everything under the sun...okay, not really, but he is enjoying his solid foods a lot more. He sure loves blueberries and he gets super excited when he's waiting for more. He has finally migrated to sleeping fully on his own, in his own bed, all night. That has been the best thing since sliced bread for Brad and I! We are pretty proud. ;)

He is gaining strength with standing for longer increments of time and has learned to pull himself up on one of us if we're lying on the floor or even the stairs. We are taking bets on whether he will crawl or just eventually walk. I say crawl; Brad says walk. Time will tell!

He did have a rough couple weeks dealing with the flu and pneumonia. He was out two days from day care, as I was from work, but he is doing much better and is back to his cheery, happy, self.

Books taste good?

Goonies Forever---Excursion to Astoria

I love the 80's flick The Goonies and the movie was filmed on location in Astoria, Oregon, which is about a 4 hour drive from where we live. So, investigating the surrounding area, Brad and I decided to go camping at Ft. Stevens State Park, which is between Astoria and Seaside, Oregon. We figured it would be quiet and quaint, as it borders the Pacific Coast and the mouth of Columbia River. Besides, we figured we could take the day to drive down on Saturday, along highway 101, and stop along the way for our dog's and Madelynne's sake. Let me preface that is always an adventure with the Schroeder clan to go camping or even just a minor outing. Heck, last weekend we went on an 8 mile hike in flip flops. We left bright and early and after going through our checklist, we realized we had left all our breakfast stuff at the house. No worries, as we would just buy stuff in Aberdeen when we stopped for lunch. Ruby Beach Fog at Lake Crescent ...

Bearing With Me

We aren’t getting an opportunity to travel this summer, but we’re making the best of our staycation in beautiful Washington. Honestly, there is so much to explore in our state and even on our Peninsula, I don’t think we will ever be bored of finding something magical and interesting to see or do. Our family motto is, “it’s always an adventure” and sometimes, even the smallest adventure turns into a story of a lifetime. My daughter has been fascinated with the stars and space since she was five and wanted a telescope for her birthday one year. I suggested to her that we drive up Hurricane Ridge early morning to let me practice some astrophotography, as well as catch the sunrise. She was excited about seeing Neowise, the comet that is gracing us with its presence in the month of July. The last comet I recall seeing was Hale Bop, back in 1997. I remember driving across the open plains of Wyoming with my parents, who were actually en route to a couple of job interviews and leaving u...

For the future's not ours to see...

There is so much going on in our world today that is negative. I get irritated with watching the news and seeing such drama the media portrays. I never really paid that much attention to it until I had Madelynne and then everything changed about my perception of the world. It is scary, out there, when all you want to do is shelter and protect your little one. Maybe I am coming to the terms with growing older and realizing that life on this great planet is limited and to make the most of it. Being a SAH mom has really caused me to think and reflect on so many different things. It hasn’t always been sweet, happy thoughts, either. I know a few weeks ago I was really concerned for the end of the world and for my daughter and future generations that have to endure such drastic changes that will continue to occur over time. I find myself getting caught up with questions about my faith and my journey as a Christian and feeling lost and not knowing who to turn to or talk to about such conflict...
