Okay, for all those who have been wanting to see the costumes that we have been working on for the last year, here are the photos (courtesy of our neighbor Liam). Yes, we wore them to the Renaissance Festival and Tim even went into the gas station. I hope to write an update later about our exciting(not really) lives. But for now, "Huzzah!"Kristin

As we begin this summer, we are looking forward to many things. We just had a new concrete patio and carport slab installed. We are already using both to their full extent and enjoying the warm weather and the outdoors. Both of the boys are loving having the extra room to run around in the yard. It has even been warm enough to put the wading pool up once or twice so far.Not much new to share and

I suppose every parent dreads the day when they have to take their child to the Emergency Room. Well this past Tuesday was our first experience with one of the boys, although it was not William's first trip to an ER. When he was 2 1/2 weeks old, he went with me to the ER, to have the worst migraine I have ever experienced treated. It was however, his first experience as a patient.We have the baby

When I started this blog I though I had better pace myself so I would not write something every day and drive everyone nuts trying to keep up with it. Well, that is a thing I really shouldn't have worried my pretty little head about. So now I will update the blog.Advent, Christmas have gone by so fast and now the New Year is about to be ushered in just a few hours from now. What can I say about

I know, I know. It is way too early to be talking about Christmas. Although, I am about half way finished with my Christmas shopping. The reason I titled this "All I want for Christmas...." is because William just got his top two front teeth.Both top teeth have broken through this past week. Still, the kid is hardly ever crabby. So far it looks like his top two teeth will be like my top two. I

Good news! William has slept all the way through the night for the last two nights. He went to sleep at 9pm and slept till 7ish both mornings! I forgot what it was like to sleep all night long. Wow!My mother will get a kick out of this. David locked me out of the house the other day for the second time. The reason she will get a kick out of it is that I did the same thing to her when I was about

We spent the last 75 degree Saturday at Afton Apple Orchard. We ate, um, I mean picked raspberries, apples and took photos with the pumpkins. The weather was absolutely beautiful and I think I even got a bit of a sunburn.David had a blast helping to pick the fruit and took great delight in eating just as many of the raspberries that he picked. William enjoyed the stroller ride and the fresh

No, the title is not a pirate's most common saying, it is a growl of frustration from Kristin.Last night, I took David with me to the grocery store to quickly grab some things we needed for dinner, and of course, milk. We pulled into the parking lot and noticed a parking space right up front. As it was raining, I was happy to have such a close spot. I pulled up across from the spot and put my

This past week Tim's dad had a heart attack. It was his 4th we think. The doctors were able to put a stint in the artery to open it and stabilize him. He is recovering well and I am sure ready to get back home from the hospital.It was an amazing thing to arrive at the hospital on Tuesday to see how loved Bill is by his children and their spouses. Those that live within a driving distance dropped

On Saturday we went to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. It is a yearly September tradition that Tim has had since he was younger. As a family we have attended every September for the last 4 years. Rain or shine we go. Incidentally, it has rained 3 of the 4 last years but it is kind of fun to walk around in the rain and stomp through mud puddles.The workers and some of the attendees dress up in

Welcome to the West Side Schindler's Blog!Here goes!WilliamWe left St. Louis last Tuesday morning after a nice visit with the grandparents. William seemed a bit fussy, which is unusual for him. He grabbed my finger and put it into his mouth and I was surprised to discover that he had one little tooth.This Monday William was a bit fussy once again and I put him down for his mid-morning nap.
