Ear Tubes


It took two attempts, but Schuyler finally got her ear tubes! She was scheduled for the first Tuesday in November and my Mom flew in to help take care of her. But the morning of her surgery, she was running a low fever and the doctor's did not want to take a chance. We certainly agreed with that approach, but were disappointed since the poor girl had to get three more antibiotic shots to take care of the existing ear infection. Two weeks later, she was fever free and ready to rock! Of course, Todd and I were both with her throughout the entire pre-op process. And I was able to walk her into the operating room and be with her while they gave her the general anethesia. She did great, but my stomach was doing flips! I barely made it back to the waiting room when the doctor finished the procedure. She was a little fussy when she woke up, but recovered quickly. Todd's mom sent her a card and told her that she was "one tough little Anthony." I couldn't agree more. We are so proud of our brave baby girl!

Schuyler's First Thanksgiving


We checked out the Macy's T-Day parade while Uncle Jonathan worked on the turkey and Daddy made the dressing.


The turkey weighed only slightly less than our Schuyler Bird.


Sharing a delicious meal with great friends!


Helping with the dishes - don't worry, I checked for knives!


Schuyler helped me get the leftovers out the next day.


Should I be concerned that she went for the champagne?

Bouncing's what Schuylers' do best! Oh my!



This video was shot the first Saturday in November. It was the first time she really bounced in her bouncer. She loved it! Later on in the day, she jumped until her little legs couldn't jump anymore and fell asleep!

Halloween Fun

Schuyler had her first school Halloween party at daycare on the Friday before Halloween. She dressed up as a little pumpkin for the day. Todd and I made sure to leave work early so we could take part in the fesitivites. I'm so glad we did - she was adorable and so was her little buddy, Jack a/ka/ Dumbo the Elephant.






We also hosted a small Halloween party for Schuyler and some of our friends. We all dressed up and each carved a pumpkin. Then, we made the trick or treaters vote on which one they liked best. Congratulations to our friend Lauren who carved her college mascot - the winner by a Nittany Lion landslide!
