When we were in debate mode about moving back, one thing that was a huge pull for us is being near our families. We wanted to have Sunday dinners, we wanted to surprise the nephews, or to see them play a sport, or to have the family over for dinner at our place! In the two months, we’ve done all of those. It’s been such a blessing to see both of Anthony’s grandmothers multiple times. We know that realistically our time with them is more limited, so we try to visit them as much as we can. We are already looking forward to Thanksgiving + Christmas. We will no longer be rushed to get everything in during a short amount of time. It’s been 11 years since we’ve been home for Thanksgiving. We cannot wait to partake in bringing a side dish to a holiday gathering!
I’ve been awful about taking photos with the Schmidt side of the family but that will change next time.
Rylan is obsessed with card games right now – lots of go fish and war
Back when the weather was warmer, we enjoyed the pool quite a bit!
Randon has struggled with spelling. We watched the boys our first week in Oklahoma and he aced that spelling test!!

I surprised Rylan at his first soccer match, then Uncle Anthony + I came again the following week. While he didn’t score either time, he finally accomplished it at the last game of the season!
Child labor – or what Randon thought was chores for money (we didn’t pay them!!)
Pumpkin book report for Rylan – I had no part in this but I thought it was super creative.
