Grandma and Grandpa Schmidt

Grandma and Grandpa Schmidt have come to Texas to visit us and see their newest granddaughter! It has only been a couple of days, but already we have had lots of fun! On Sunday Daddy blessed Riley at church. Grandpa Schmidt and Grandpa Campbell were both here to stand in on the blessing! Our good friends Michael Witkamp, Brian Schuldberg, Justin Cook, and Rick Petty were also able to stand in for the blessing! We took some pictures before church and Riley looked soooo pretty! Grace and Mathew have kept Grandpa VERY busy! Sunday night Grandpa got to listen to Grace read the scriptures! Sort of! She can't read yet, but she told Grandpa her version of the stories! We still have a whole week left to play, and lots more pictures to take!

Kids Room

Before Riley was born, we had lots of work to do! Mathew and Grace now share a room, and they wanted a BYU room, so we had to paint over the purple princess room! They LOVE their new room!

As for Riley, she was a surprize, so we had to pick gender neutral colors! It took a lot of work, but we painted one wall with the squares, one wall yellow, one wall blue, and one wall green. However, now that she is here and mommy knows she is a girl, we are going to paint the yellow in the room pink! Mommy wants a little more girly room for her tiny sugar!

Our Very New Edition! A Tiny Baby Girl!

Grace and Mathew are proud to announce the birth of their new baby sister

RILEY ABIGAIL SCHMIDT

Born June 4th 2009

9:29 pm

6 lbs 14 oz. 18 inches short

Grace and Mathew are very excited about their sister. Grace loves to feed and hold Riley, while Mathew likes to just watch Riley. She is teeny tiny and we think Mathew isn't quite sure what to make of her yet! Miss Riley was born with a headful of blonde hair. She is already tickelish, daddy has checked to make sure! Her baby armpits and her tiny feet are the most sensitive. Riley spends most of her days sleeping, and loves to have her hair played with. Mathew and Grace can't wait for her to get up and play and already have the toys picked out. She is our new treasure and we love her so very much!
