Baby Blues

I love Schroeder's eyes. He has blue eyes, but they are not light like his mommas, but deep blue like his granddad's eyes. His eyes are the blue that look quite intense if you are able to look at him when he holds still. Many times when people stop to look at him, they comment on his eyes.

Schroeder and his "baby blues".

The hopes of having pumpkin fun

Well, we tried to have some "pumpkin fun" today. The young families from my church went to the Oil Ranch, which is a working and playing ranch. Right now, they have pumpkins and hayrides and other fun things related to Halloween and October. I know Schroeder can't do much yet, but I have been so pumped about getting some pictures of him with pumpkins. I asked my mom to come up and visit, so she could also enjoy some "pumpkin fun".

Fun was not ours to be had. I have had migraines all week and today was no exception. Except today I had a migraine and sinus pressure, which made it nearly impossible to do anything. While taking pictures, I moved my mom's purse and put it on the ground. Afterwards, I needed to go rest, so we walked over to the picnic tables. My mom reached for her purse to get some money and we realize it's not there. I realize I left it on the ground and didn't put it back in the stroller. My mom rushes over to the pumpkin patch to find her purse missing. She checked several areas and nobody turned it in.

While she was gone, I realized I can't stay with such an intense migraine, so when she gets back, we pack up our stuff and head home. On the way home, I get sick in the car and Schroeder begins to spike a fever.

After getting home, Schroeder kept his fever for most of the day and I was sick in bed from a migraine. We didn't have much pumpkin fun, but we certainly had more adventures. I'm not sure my mom wants to come back for a visit if Schroeder and I are going to be this much fun each time. Lucky for us, she was here to take care of us while we were sick.

Hopefully, when we go next year we will get to actually have "pumpkin fun"!!

Let the adventures continue...

My "too cute baby"

This is my first attempt at blogging. I am not the best at keeping up with things, especially with school and the house, oh and the baby, so we will see how this works out.

Well, Schroeder and I got out today and shopped at the newly opened HEB. We don't have anything but Kroger and Randall's near us, so an HEB is a big deal. I decided to put Schroeder in his snugli, so that I could take full advantage of the shopping experience. Um, he's just too cute to do that often. I got stopped every few minutes of people wanting to look at him. He was much more interested in looking at everything else, so I literally had to turn myself towards the people so they could see him. I had several employees stop me and want to visit with him. They eventually let me get back to my shopping experience, but I did learn if I don't want others to see him, I shouldn't carry him in front of me. He's just too cute for others to pass up.
