UPDATE!

Okay...I am making a pledge to get back to blogging.  It's been a long time again.  I guess that finding a job and basketball sucked up a lot of my time!  But Basketball is over, and I am employed again, so no more excuses!  :)

We are very excited to announce that we have a new addtion to the Family.  Saturday April 16th, Tim & Emily welcomed Theodore John Schneider into the world.  He was born at 6:26 a.m. and was 9 lbs 1 oz and 19 inches long.  He is adorable, and we are so excited to have a new nephew and cousin!  We went up to the hospital on Sunday to see him.  It's amazing how little they are when they are born...You forget so fast.  Theo had some breathing issues after he was first born, but is doing good now. 

Also since my last entry, I have obviously started my new job.  I am really enjoying it.  Starting to feel like I am up to speed on all the training and actually contributing. I am working on the Eastside of Madison at Demco.  The drive is about 25 minutes, and is almost all interstate, so it's a nice easy drive.  It's also kind of nice being in Madison again. I can just run to the store to get stuff!

The kids are good.  Kale is getting to be such a big boy.  He is still struggling with potty training.  He is stubborn little guy!  The things that amaze me are the recent changes that are so small, but add up.  He really has conversations with you now.  He went from broken sentances to actually speaking in full sentances and asking questions.  He also started drinking out of a regular cup all the time.  I haven't thrown away the sippies yet, but they are reserved for car rides and travel.  It'sstrange to think that before we know it will will be able to get rid of them entirely!  Elijah is also doing great.  He is really into baseball this spring (which makes Trent over the top happy).  He not only wants you to pitch to him all the time, but he wants to pitch to you too!  He likes to bat both right handed and left!  He is starting to talk about school alot, and going to kindergarten.  We are going to wait to send him until fall of 2012.  He only makes the deadline by 2 days, and we want him to be ready!  The closer we get to the fall the more I wonder if he is ready, but an extra year won't hurt him at all.  Rylee just started spring soccer!  Her first game got snowed out last night.  She is really starting to be such a good little reader!  It's amazing to me how from night to night you can see her get more confident in her reading.  Shs is also practicing her subtraction now, and getting better at that everyday! 

Trent made the decision to play Home Talent Baseball this year for Lodi instead of returning to Mazomanie.  It was a very hard decision for him, but he is also excited to be managing the Lodi team this year as well as playing.  It's a nice change for us, cause his game will be closer to home.  It's also a great oppurtunity for us to meet more people in the community!  I know that he will miss Mazo and the great friends he made there! 

So that is the last couple months in a nutshell.
