Makayla is Potty Training!

Today is a great milestone in Makayla's life. She has successfully used the potty several times today. Not only that, but she has told us each time that she needs to go, and she does! We have been working on this for a while, and she is finally starting to understand it fully! We are so proud of her, and she is such a little cutie.

She also knows quite a bit of letters. She was surprising us when Heidi was showing her some flash cards with letters on them. Makayla was naming most of the letters, while also signing the signs for them in sign language! She is learning so quickly :)

Kyle Kurt Schmidt

Kyle Kurt Schmidt was born on April 15th, 2008 at 10:44 pm. He weighed 7lbs 6oz and was 19in long at the time of his birth. He is as attentive as his big sister was when she was born. We are so very happy that he has made it to us in good time and very healthy! More pictures to come! :D

No more home phone :(

For the past year we have had our home phone number through a VOIP (Voice Over IP) service called SunRocket. We have recently been having troubles with it and today we found out why: On Monday they jumped ship with no prior warning whatsoever. So now I am in the research mode again, trying to find the best VOIP deal for us. So far I'm looking at ViaTalk. But we'll see who we end up with in the end. Details on that later. Read up on the most current research on this issue at my personal blog.

New job and more adventure

I just got hired on as a server at Marie Callendar's near our house. I will continue to work at Cybersource full-time, while I make extra money in the evenings and weekends at MC. I used to work there before I met Heidi about 5 years ago, and I loved it, so I wanted to try it again.

New Callings

Heidi and I have received a calling to be on the Ward Activities Committee. We will probably be set apart next week or the week after. We are also working on blessing Makayla on the first week of August (Aug 5th). Today was the first time we have been to our ward since two weeks before Makayla was born! Everyone was so excited to see us. We didn't make it to the Sacrament meeting, but it is an improvement. Maybe next week we'll get to hear a few talks. :D

Our New Family Blog

Our Blog is back and it's better than ever! Since it's hosted by Google we don't have to worry about a server going down, or losing our data, so we will be able to update you on our existence constantly! Without stopping! yay
