beginning of snow pics.

As you can see, you have to take as many pics. as you can when it snows here just so that your children believe you when you tell them when they are older and it doesn't snow one year. so this year... the best snow in march...and we are having a good time... dancing, playing... lalalala... and then someone drops my camera in the snow.. and i get sad and upset... and maybe say the word moron.. i don't remember..but anyways. i said i was sorry and j. said he was sorry and my camera is fine. the lens gets stuck every once in awhile now, but it is all better.

Snow in Memphis...

As you can see... it snowed in Memphis...and it snowed quite a bit for Memphis. 3 inches. wow.... well when it started to snow we went outside for a few minutes....because elly m. got pretty cold pretty fast. but while we were out there.... ruthie was at the door crying. she woke up with a pretty bad cold yesterday, so i wasn't going to take her out in it, but since i haven't taken her picture in snow i decided today was the day...well prepared as you can see.. all bundled up and everything.

New friends...

As you can see by looking at her outfit that she is not from a place where it snows a whole lot... hence the flip flop shoes. but she is so very very precious.... her name is liz and she is a new found friend. her husband is mitch. he is the guy in the red coat and then their doggy Diesel. Mitch is working with jonathan now, that should be an every day adventure for the two of them. anyways... they came from california and are staying for awhile... they are fun and have already added a lot to the schmit life. maybe in the future.. they will even add a puppy. they have one big boy dog and two little girl puppies... they are so cute!!!

oh jonathan...

isn't it so cute. a little bunny playing a guitar. so fun. i guess the winter starts to get to everybody..... even someone from cold dark sweden.

read next post...evie is such a happy little thing.

our little buddy...evie!

here is the girl's little buddy evie. she is such a cute little thing and she is exactly in the middle of my two girls. it is fun now, but i know as they get older there will be many a slumber parties. Evie and Elly M. like to ride in the swing together. i am so glad those swings are made that way. it makes swinging much more entertaining. this was on our 70 degree day last week, but today as i look outside there is 3 inches of snow. crazy crazy weather in memphis.

Random candids...

here are some random photos from the last couple of weeks. i didn't want to download anymore pictures to our iphoto because everytime i opened it, it caused the computer to shut down, so we ordered a external hard drive from ebay and now i have no fear when opening iphoto that i will lost my precious pictures of my precious children. so i am back to normal now for the blogging world.

The next step.....

here we be...the next step of little ruthie's little life and one more thing accomplished. She is now pulling herself up. it is so crazy how fast babies learn things. she is such a strong little thing too. i feel like every time she gets dressed, every time i change a diaper... we are wrestling... and i mean literal wrestling.
