2011

So for the start of this year I have been trying to take lots of pictures of the girls and I figured I would start off with Valentine's Day. I had fun making a heart shaped pizza and getting everyone's gifts together. Raleigh is wearing her Valentine's gift from Grandma and Grandpa. Thanks! I even caught her smiling, she must have liked her gift.
 Kirsten sure loved her gifts, she loves, loves, loves BALLOONS!
 I decorated our dinner table and I made a card for Kirsten to scribble in for Dada, she did a great job.
 Will, aka Dada at our house, with the ladies of his life.
 Kirsten being Kirsten, I love her so much!
 One of our favorite things to do is play at the park rain, shine, or Snow! I think Kirsten could play in it all day but I get cold so we eventually have to go home.

 Raleigh was blessed the first week in January and Julia made her dress. It is absolutely gorgeous and we had a good time getting to be with family over the holidays.


 Raleigh has the sweetest smile and I get warm fuzzies every time I see it.
 Another one of our favorite things to do is go the library. Our City's library has a kids program called "Tales for Tots" that we go to every week. Kirsten loves to listen to the books being read, dance to music, color pictures and play with the toys.

 They also have a great kids section in the library with kid size couches she loves to sit on.
 This picture pretty much defines Kirsten and Raleigh's relationship: love hurts!
So that's it for the beginning of 2011 for the Schmidts. Now I just have to blog about all of last year and our recent trip to New York and DC. So much fun!

RALEIGH!

We have a beautiful new daughter who is now 2 months old! She is super cute and we love her so much. She likes to smile and stand. Kirsten likes to give her lots of kisses and so do we. Here are some cute pictures of Raleigh at the hospital.





 Here are some pictures that we took, she has some good lungs in her!




She weighed 9 lbs 0.4 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long, now at two months she weighs over 12 lbs!

Best Christmas Gift Ever!




If you haven't already heard, we are expecting our second daughter Christmas eve! Which is going to be the best Christmas gift we have ever received. And of course we would like all of you to know all the details about our new little girl so we will be sending out announcements of her birth with Shutterfly announcements. Shutterfly is has super cute Christmas cards and they are also having a great promotion where if you blog about them (hence the blog) you can get 50 free announcements!
This will be my first time using their announcements but I have bought plenty of photo books and prints from them. Their site is super user friendly and easy to customize to what you want. You can also make customizable calendars and if you buy more than one the rest are 50% off. I have been using Shutterfly for years and they are constantly having promotions for members. My favorite is a FREE photo book and the only thing I have to pay is the shipping.
So look forward to our Christmas announcement in January about our new family addition!
