6 month check up stats

Hi all,

The picture above was taken yesterday at Owen's Halloween parade at his daycare.  Sweet Owen is a monkey for Halloween.  We had a great time watching all the kiddos on parade at school and cannot believe that before we know it Owen will be walking!  Until then he is doing a great job practicing sitting unassisted. 

Today Owen went to the doctor for his 6 month check up and here.....get ready for it....are the latest stats: 20lbs, 10oz weight (90% percentile), 27 1/2" tall (90th percentile) and head 18" (90th percentile).....notice a trend here?  We have one very healthy little boy!  A few shots later, a quick check in those problem ears and  Owen was given a clean bill of health!

We are so fortunate for a healthy little man and thank God daily for this.

This weekend we are getting together with friends for some shopping, dinners and trick-or-treating.  It's hard to believe that Fall has passed us and Winter is quickly approaching.  To celebrate the new season we had our first fire of the season and boy was it nice!  Owen was enthralled by the flames and sat with his eyes big and mouth wide open...drool flowing of course.  Summit was happy to warm his tummy while perched up on the hearth. 

Hope you all are staying warm and ready to hunker down for the winter!

Love from the Schulze crew

Jamie Hammer

Hi all,

Some of you already know, or are just finding out by my email.  Jamie Hammer, a very close friend of mine of 18 years, has Cystic Fibrosis and has been in and out of the hospital all summer.  Recently she was admitted on 'long term stay'.  Jamie is battling one very tough infection and is one very sick girl.

For more information on Cystic Fibrosis you can visit this link below:

I am emailing you as each and everyone one of you have made an impact in Jamie's life be it through friendship as well as your very generous donations to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

 

Below is the link to her Caring Bridge site:

Thank you for all your prayers....keep 'em coming, she needs them!

Many of you know Jamie Hammer (Haubenschild).  Jamie has Cystic Fibrosis and has been sick for some time this summer.  Jamie is currently in the hospital fighting infections which are making her weak.  Her doctors are hard at work to come up with the right combination of antibiotics to help her feel better so she can get home to her wonderful loving husband, family and friends.

 

Please say a prayer for Jamie tonight and help her fight through these infections.

We love her with all our heart.

 

Thank you from the Schulze Crew and Jamie's Family and Friends

He is still not feeling too great this morning so em is going to bring him for his....4th dr visit this month (had three in a 7 day period at the beg of sept).

Happy 4th anniversary

Friday Mom and Dad celebrated our 4th anniversary!! We headed downtown to the Oceanaire for some delicious seafood. Nanna and Grandpa Mark had a fun time eating pizza and watching the Twins game with Owen. This was Owen's first time going to bed without Mom and Dad and he did fantastic! Amazing how our lives have changed in the past few years....we wouldn't change any second of it!
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!

Good evening all-

Well the weather has sure changed a lot here in MN. What use to be 90F and humid is now 52F and dark at 730p. How the summer goes by sooo quickly. Every July 4th I say, before we know it summer will be gone....and so it almost is.

Nice evening with the family. Some left overs for dinner and then a little pre bedtime snuggles on the front porch watching the storm roll in. Nice relaxing eve after a busy day.

Well tomorrow is our 4th wedding anniversary, how time flies and how so much has changed (for the good) over these years. How lucky I feel to have such a wonderful family!!!!

Have a wonderful week.

Sooo tired...

Now that is one tired doggy. I wish I could say Summit is wiped because he played hard this evening, but just a walk was all this boy was able to get today. Poor Summy, Owen gets all the attention, but we'll get you to the dogpark this weekend!

Now Ben's off to bed as I feel about as tired as Summy......let's hope my sleeping skills are a little better than the grey one's and I actually sleep IN my bed.

Have a good rest of this short week all.

Friday Fun Day!

Happy Friday all!  Man is it cold out today!  Woke up to 57 degrees...no boating today!  Ben and Em took Friday off (again) to run some errands while Owen plays at school.

What's new you ask??  A LOT!!!  We said farewell to Uncle Scott today as he leaves for college.  Scott will be studying Nuclear Medicine at UW-Lacrosse.  We are so proud of him and will miss him tons!  Can't wait to see you for Thanksgiving Scottie!! 

Auntie Jackie will be moving to Mason City, IA as she begins her first RN job on the Cardiac Floor of the Mason City hospital!!  YEA Jackie!  We are so happy for her and that she has landed this incredible opportunity.  We will miss her a ton as she will be moving to Iowa next weekend. 

Ben celebrated his 31st birthday last week with a day at the Fair with Emily followed by a delicious dinner of Chilean sea bass and oysters - YUM! 

Owen continues to amaze his parents by all the growing he is doing.  Last week was his 4 month check up and he remains in the 90th percentile for height and weight.  17lbs, 4 oz and 27inches tall.  That's our big boy!  He continues to drool like a faucet and we're anticipating some teeth in the near future.  Talking continues to be his favorite 'sport' as well as singing.  He has a wonderful routine at bedtime and continues to sleep through the next which we all love!

Emily was just promoted to a new buyer role at Target.  She will be buying product for See Spot Save (Target's version of the Dollar Store).  Emily has a lot to learn!!

Summit is effectively losing his sympathy weight and is looking nice and svelte these days thanks to a lot of swimming this summer.

 

Off to do some shopping and lunch for mom and dad's date day!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone....love from the Schulze Crew
