Be Still…

Posted by Amber On August - 26 - 20101 COMMENT

I have been nearly silent on this blog for a good while now.  For a great many reasons I felt the need to just “be still”.  Mostly because in my prayers to my Heavenly Father I felt Him telling me to be quiet, be still, just wait on HIM.  So i did.  I stopped talking. [...]

Because Mermaids need water…

Posted by Amber On June - 30 - 20105 COMMENTS

So I walk into the bathroom this afternoon to find my child filling up a diaper disposal bag (read: newspaper bags that we use for diapers because they are perfect and someone gave me a WHOLE BUNCH of them!) with WATER.  I started to freak out and Troy said “No…………… ask her what she is [...]

Call me crazy… but we had a yard sale!

All of the kid’s clothing from baby to 3 years old are GONE.  Done… It would have been a little more emotional if I had not been still buried in boxes up to my eyes!  I want the space more than I wanted the “stuff”!  So I did it!  By Sunday I was selling clothing [...]

David had Goliath… Kyleigh had THE POTTY!

At some point along this journey, a doctor looked at the ground and shook his head.  I have actually seen this gesture a few times… heart surgery, another self-extubation, and the day that the Urologist told us that Kyleigh had less than a 3% chance of ever being continent on her own.  That was one [...]

So it begins, Kyleigh’s next medical journey.

I posted this on my facebook and for the sake of saving my aching fingers I am copying and pasting most of it.  If you read it there… feel free to skip it here! Yesterday was another “fun” day in Cincinnati. We had a day full of VCUG, Renal Scan, labs and appt with Dr. [...]

Ky’s new do…

Yes, Ky is now sporting a bit of a pixie look.  I was honestly ready to cut her hair anyhow but she hastened the process when she took two huge CHUNKS out of it herself with the surgical scissors from her bedroom drawer…  Why? One might ask, does one keep surgical scissors in a 3 [...]

Coming Home!

Yes… it was another lively weekend in the life of the Schmidt family.  Thursday was Ross’ official birthday even though his party is not until the end of the month.  That night, we took the kids to Chick Fil A for a quick trip to get a bite to eat, have a cake and a [...]

First SNOW!

Posted by Amber On January - 6 - 20101 COMMENT

Yes…. the first snow of the season!!!  It came EARLY this year!  Normally, its well into January before we see any kind of accumulation.  The kids were, of course, elated and DYING to go outside.  We obliged since it was 30 something (thus their poorly dressed status!)….

One Day closer…

I was standing at the bus stop discussing the latest Walgreen’s deals with our next door neighbor and I told her that there was a huge Huggies deal and I was SO excited because I was able to stock about 25 packs (enough for roughly 6 mo of Kyleighness) for less than $150!  Now, this [...]

If only I were martha……..

I would TOTALLY make this outfit for Ky for turkey day… I mean REALLY!  Have you EVER seen anything so cute in all your life?  Ky would TOTALLY rock this!  I am in love… maybe my FAVORITE set of clothing that I have found this year!  If I were not saving up for my VICTORY [...]
