We’re finally home and settling in with our new son, Holden Douglas Isaac Schneider. Here’s a few pics with Mom, Dad and Big Sister.

We made a special birthday trip to the aquarium to celebrate Kasen’s 3rd. As usual, she bounced around maniacally from exhibit to exhibit and generally wore us out. But, as you can see she was fascinated and, of course, that makes it all worth the effort.

We went to Six Flags recently and Kasen had a great time. We debated taking her on the roller coaster or not, but she enjoyed the other rides so much and kept asking to go, so we relented. I was worried that she would get totally traumatized after the first drop, but she just started laughing like crazy. I held on to her tight and she just enjoyed the ride all the way! Check out the pics. No fear.

Kurt binds his broken body together for one more year of tennis. And, we win! Brad and Kurt take the tennis honors this year, which is the first time since… well, ever!
