I'm pregnant!!!

So now you know why the blog has been forgotten. I'm pregnant, I'm tired and for the longest time the blog was not on my daily "to-do list" I will make a good effort to keep things updated, but I make no promises. Mark, Megan and I are very very excited for Baby Schutte, due Aug 7th and can not wait to share pictures and stories about him or her :) So sorry for the disappearance in blog updates, hopefully it won't happen again.

Bowling Jan 2011

Mark and I needed to make up bowling along with a couple other families, so we all went one day so the kids could bowl and the adults to attempt to bowl. Here is Megan with her friend Gracie Barber looking at all of the pretty colors of the bowling balls.

Thanks to the bumpers, Megan's ball was in a good position. However, she never really had enough speed so her game still needs work. At one point the bowled and the gate (not sure if that is the right term) went down before her ball made it to the pins :)

Just watching the slow ball roll down the lane.

Towards the end the kids were having fun just sliding on the wood floor in their socks. For the record: 2 of the little boys beat Mark!!!

She's cute!

She's focused!

And she is ready for a strike! But that didn't happen and it didn't bother her one bit. She had fun and everyone had fun watching the kids bowl and be silly.

Dec 2010

The second annual trip to "The Lights Before Christmas" at the Toledo Zoo with the Barber, Harrington and Olsaver families. We started out with a yummy dinner then is was time to bundle up to look at the lights.

The only picture I have that shows the lights.

Oops, forgot to turn the picture. Here is Megan "sleeping" on the car ride home. She said if she slept in the car she wouldn't have to go to bed when we got home. So she was faking her sleep and her snoring! It was very funny.

Another picture that I didn't turn...sorry. Christmas morning and Megan was excited that Santa brought her the "lion toy" she asked for. She also got a lion puzzle and socks from Santa (that's what she asked for)

Megan had to show Cici what our neighborhood looked liked on the drive to Grandma and Grandpa Berthold's house.

Enjoying the "car truck" she got from Grandma and Grandpa. She LOVES seeing cars on trucks when we are driving around in real life, so this was the perfect gift for her, she loved it!

And finally we have Megan dressed up as a lion with her new lion stuffed animal. She spent most of the day dressed as a lion, again it was very cute!
