F.I.T

These pictures were taken Jan 1.
God gave us the sweetest day on New Years
just to be together as a family. We had such fun
with Evan...and what a gift because Sam came the
next day! It was so special to have that time together.

One of the fun things that day was Evan watching his
first Florida State game with Andy. They had
popcorn and talked about the finer points of the game.
Here are some shots of our F.I.T (Fan in Training).
Daddy is teaching him the ways...

Note Gus' dutiful position hoping for popcorn...
Don't worry dog lovers, he got lots! He loves to
catch a flying puff of popcorn.

My guys

My heart skips a beat seeing these.

Two peas in a pod.
Actually, so far they couldn't be much more different!

First family photo...

Not how I pictured it in my head...

Portraits of Motherhood

This is from 12/21, was saving it for after Christmas,
but then Sam surprised us all! Here were my thoughts
at the time. :)

Here's some pictures that capture my time with
Evan lately. Surrounded by collections of
beloved toys. As you can imagine, I am trying
to spend as much time hanging out on that futon
as possible!

Schmidtville lately...

Meeting Great Grandma

So sweet.

Buds.

This last one pretty much sums it up. :)

Evan and Sam

Here are a few shots of a moment I have
been looking forward to for months...
Evan and Sam meeting for the first time.

I love the sheer delight on Evan's face.
These are going to be two precious brothers!

Introducing Sam Schmidt!

Sam joined the family at 2:30 pm on Saturday January 2nd.
Happy New Year to us!
He was 6 lbs 2 oz and 20 inches long.
He is a great little guy and we are enjoying
our new adventure as a family of four.
More soon...
