A MUCH delayed update

Yes I know, not enough photos or updates on the Schmidt clan lately.  It's been a little busy with Emma, school, vacation, and just surviving in general.  Emma is now 6 weeks old and growing like crazy.  I am enjoying the "baby" phase and snuggling.  She's a great eater and burper, and actually has been sleeping 7-8 hours at night since 5 weeks so we are extremely lucky parents.

We actually were brave enough to take a family vacation with a 1 month old.  A little challenging, but lots of family time which was "nice".  Depends on the day how the quality of it was, just ask Tim :).

Emma had her first boat ride, first shower, first swim, and some other fun.  Unfortunately my camera is at the bottom of Table Rock Lake so there are no photos of all the fun.  But a new camera is on the way so we'll have more photos in the near future.  So just some photos from the phone.

We also had the first day of school for Abby and Megan.  Abby is in Kindergarten and Megan is now a Pre-Schooler.  Hard to believe they are growing up so quickly.  They are both enjoying school and their classmates. 

Abby's Kindergarten cubby.  Very excited, and she can't wait for homework!

And if we aren't busy enough we did our annual salsa canning from scratch.  Most of the ingredients from our garden but we had to borrow some tomatoes and buy some extra peppers.  Two salsa's this time - Spicy Tomato Salsa and the Jalapeno salsa we made last year.  I'm sick of tomatoes to say the least.






So that is our update for now.  I'll try to be more updated in the near future as Emma changes everyday.
