Supper at the Schmidt's

We have been having a awesome week at the Schmidt house. Uncle Tannin has been here for week and is my new best friend. We played, went to band concerts, and hung out every morning. We had a party at our house yesterday to celebrate Winter Solstice. Actually it is was just because everyone at the party is going to be somewhere else on Christmas, so we had a pre christmas party. We had great supper that mom made, and I got to hang out with my cousins, Big Grandma, Uncle Tannin, Grandma, Uncle Chuck and Aunt Bonnie. This morning Thomas and I got to open presents and I am officially a princess. Thank you everyone for the awesome presents, and think of us on Christmas because we will be close to the North pole in Gillam Manitoba.

Thomas Routine

Chillin...

Oopps fell asleep.

Tubby time.

Where is Thomas....

Where is Thomas?

Things have been getting into a pretty good routine around here lately. I still wake up at 6:30 am with Dad, and mom and Thomas get up around 8:00 or 9:00. Then we have breakfest and mom has to put down Thomas on the couch to feed me and he usually ends up falling asleep. We then play around the house and I like to put Thomas with all my other babies on the couch. Sometimes 'family nap time' occurs around 1:00, but not usually and then finally dad comes home. Thomas has been a great little brother but I think he is watching Oscar too much because it seems that when you put him down anywhere he falls asleep, oh well. I am super excited because dad is done work in two weeks, Uncle Tannin is coming to visit next week, were having a early Christmas party on the 19th, and then I going to visit my cousin Sadie for real Christmas. CRAZY!!!

November

Smiles for Anna.

I have a funny sister!

We are enjoying a beautiful November here. No snow and fairly warm weather means lots of playing outside and trips to the park for me. Grandma Tenley came to stay with me, mom and Thomas while dad was away last weekend. It was so much fun!! We went shopping and for lunch with 'big grandma' (great-grandma Audrey:) Thomas is doing good, he has started trying to smile at me:D

Happy Halloween

Anna not touching the pumpkins. "too dirty and messy!"

Halloween was fun at our house. Watched dad carve pumpkins, went to a Halloween party at Cathy's, and tried trick-or-treating. I did about 10 houses, it was very scary at first so I just stood on peoples door steps with my hands over my eyes, but then I realized I was getting candy so I got pretty excited. Mom tried to teach me to say trick-or-treat, but I found shouting "PUT IT IN ANNA'S BAG!!" did the trick too. Thomas slept through it all. Mom took him for his 2 week check up on Tuesday and the doctor said he was doing great, and he weighed in at 10lbs 12oz!!

Home Sweet Home

Thomas actually like his swing (I never did)

Me holding Thomas and Oscar even got in there.

It has been a week since Thomas was born and it has been smooth so far. Grandma and Grandpa Church were here for a whole week helping out with Thomas, Oscar, and playing with me. Grandpa did a bunch of fixing for us like 'Handy Manny' and did a awesome job. Thomas has been sleeping great at night, and has been eating a ton. We already had bunch of visitors come by like Uncle Jeff, Auntie Jen, Cousin Sadie, Grandma Schmidt, Big Grandma, Auntie Jen and Mandy. They all say that Thomas is a good baby and I am good big sister. Next week is when reality will hit as dad goes back to work, so stay tuned.

Just got home

Well it's official I am a big sister!!!! Thomas Wayne Schmidt was born on Monday October 19, 2009 1:33 am at St. B Hospital. He weighed in at 9lbs 12ozs and was 23 inches long. Mom and Dad left at midnight on Sunday and good thing they did because they were only at the hospital for half an hour before Thomas was born, MOM IS A SUPERSTAR! Everyone is back at home with Grandma and Grandpa Church who came in for the week and have been helping everyone get back into the swing of things. Everyone is doing great and I am so excited to be a big sister that I have decided to share my blog with my baby brother.

New Cousin!!!

I am very excited to announce that Auntie Jenny and Uncle Jeff had a baby girl Friday October 16th. She was 6lbs 7oz and her name is Sadie Elizabeth Church. Everyone is doing great!! I have my first girl cousin....YAY!!! Congratulations Jeff and Jenny :D

Happy Thanksgiving!

Our new fancy dinner table all set for turkey dinner.

It has been a busy couple of weeks here at the Schmidt house. We had tons of visitors with Cousin Blaine hanging out a couple weekends ago, and then Auntie Karen came and helped Mom get ready for baby for four days. Thank you Auntie Karen for hanging out with me everyday! (Oscar says thanks too!) Then last weekend Uncle Jeff, Auntie Jen, and Grandma and Grandpa Church all come over for Thanksgiving. I even got to talk to my cousins, Luke, Dean, and Wes on the computer in Phoenix. Happy 2nd Bday Wes and 7th Bday Dean!!! Grandma cooked a super yummy supper on Sunday, and everyone was so sore after eating too much. We are officially on baby watch for mom as she is getting closer to her due date. So keep in touch!

Dancing!

Tiny Dancer

We are getting excited for my new brother or sister to arrive, a few more weeks to wait. I have been helping mom and dad get the baby room ready, mostly I like to try to put on tiny baby clothes and walk around the house in very small baby pajamas. I also love to dress up like a ballerina and dance. We went to see the Backyardigan's in concert on the weekend, I LOVED it!! "Oh my god!! It was so fun!!"

Back to Work Dad!

I love the potty. Just not going to the potty.

Hanging out with dad.

'No touching anything and no talking.'

'The big slide I went down with daddy.'

Tubby time at the lake with my Astro boy hairdoo.

Horsy rides at Grandpa house.

It's back to work for dad today which means back to day care for me. I have been trying to get this potty thing down, but no success yet. I do enjoy reading a good book on there though. I hung out with mom and dad at the new house lots, and even helped paint the baby room. No touching anything and no talking were my instructions. We had a great end to the summer with Grandma Tenley coming into Winnipeg to visit and I got to go swimming down a big slide. We made it out to the lake one last time and had awesome weather for a week, but now it's back to reality and I think I like it.
