Thomas likes to eat leaves.

We have lots of leaves in our yard to play in. Dad really enjoys raking all of them.

Well first of all we would like to apologize for the 4 months of no posting. We made the big move to Dauphin over the summer and the dust has finally settled. Dad has started his new job at the high school, and of course he couldn't say no to coaching so he is helping out with the JV Boys Grade 10 volleyball team. Mom is getting ready for her new job at the hospital that will start mid October. I have already started to go my new day care at Barb's who I think 'is really nice'. I also started 'Mini Frog Leg' as Uncle Tannin calls it, and I love it. Thomas is almost one and has even started to walk. We love our new big house, and it even has a "park" in it. I think I like it here in Dauphin because so many people come and visit me everyday. We have tons of room in our house so everyone is welcome to come and have a visit. Talk to you soon and I promise it won't be 4 months this time.

Big News!!

Soccer player.

Tubby-time.

We have had a busy couple of months here in Oakbank. We have big news....we are moving to Dauphin!! We have sold our house and Dad is going to be the band teacher at the high school in Dauphin. We are very excited to move home and we have a couple of pretty excited grandmas too! I am also very excited about my 3rd birthday tomorrow. I am going to go to Cathy's daycare for a cupcake birthday party with my friends and then we're going to Dauphin for a disney princess birthday at grandma's house on Saturday!! I am playing soccer for the first time, I usually like it. I am on the brown team, I really want to be on the bright purple team but I'm getting over it ;) Tommy-doo is doing great. He is loving his baby food, and he has 3 teeth. He gets around by rolling and spinning on his tummy, maybe thinking about crawling soon.

First Bike Ride!

3 Weeks of Fun

It has been 3 straight weeks of fun, but also busy. We first went down to Bismarck for Dad's spring break, and we survived our first family vacation. We stayed at a cool hotel where we had a awesome room, and cool pool. We did some serious relaxing and shopping down there. Then we came home for Easter where Grandma Church, Grandpa Church, Auntie Jen, Uncle Jeff, and Cousin Sadie all come over to visit. I also did my very first Easter Egg hunt, and actually liked carrying around my treats more then eating them. Mom and dad really liked that. We then went to Dauphin for an extra long weekend for dad's band stuff. I got to hang out and watch all the rehearsals, and I even named all the instruments. I LOVE BAND!!! Finally we made it back home this weekend and enjoyed the weather. We got outside to try my new bike and our chariot. It's time to get back into a routine at least that's what mom and dad are hoping for.

Spring!

Thomas and Oscar are becoming buddies.

I put Thomas in a box, hahahahhahah.

Dad and Tommy-doo

Sucking my thumb.

Story time with Princess Anna

continues....

My new head band from Auntie Karen, love it!

Starting to think about sitting up.

Spring time is in the air and we are getting ready to do some travelling. We are heading out for our first road trip as a family to Bismarck ND for dad's work thing. Good luck mom and dad,hahahahahhah! I am a big girl these days going on the potty almost all the time, and Thomas is starting to try and sit up by himself. I am enjoying dancing in the living room these days with mom, dad, Oscar, and Thomas as my audience. Mom would post a video but I insist on doing my dances in my princess undies. Mom says 'lets hope we grow out of that':)

Laughing! Thomas and Sadie. Sorry for the lack of updates, it has been a busy few weeks at the Schmidt house. We have been to Dauphin for a couple of visits. Uncle Jeff, Auntie Jenny and Sadie came for a visit. We finally went to the Healthy Baby group here in Oakbank and I love it! There is LOTS of babies and kids and nice ladies to play with me. The weather has been pretty nice so we've been getting outside lots, I like to help dad shovel the snow. Thomas is doing great. 16.5lbs and 28" at his four month check-up. He is rolling over and loves his jolly jumper!
