THE SCHAFER FAMILY: Self Pity Be Damned
http://nschafersquared.blogspot.com/2013/11/self-pity-be-damned.html
Monday, November 4, 2013. Self Pity Be Damned. Last year in November I went through Thanksgiving (was supposed to be the whole month) with a "thankful for" every day. While it shouldn't be so difficult to come up with something I am thankful for every day, it truly was hard. I really appreciated the challenge for that reason. With that said, I don't intend on taking this challenge again. Except one, this is a story I don't tell often. You will see why as you read on. So at midnight I cried, of course!

THE SCHAFER FAMILY: Cousins are built in Best Friends
http://nschafersquared.blogspot.com/2013/09/cousins-are-built-in-best-friends.html
Sunday, September 29, 2013. Cousins are built in Best Friends. It has been one full week since Nathan and I surprised Tayler with her new bedroom and Landon with bunk beds. Landon has slept on the top bunk every night since. His cousin, Tenley, really wanted to sleep there as soon as she seen it. Nathan and I even had a discussion, there was no way Landon was going to allow that to happen! I snuck in about an hour after I knew they were asleep, I had to know who slept where! Now I don't truly know how th...

THE SCHAFER FAMILY: Saying Goodbye
http://nschafersquared.blogspot.com/2013/10/saying-goodbye.html
Saturday, October 19, 2013. Nathan and I have been talking a lot about our future lately. There is so much to consider (even outside of what is in this post). Let me say before I get too far into this, this post won't be like my normal ones. This is something I should probably write to Dear Diary! The Decision that will change my life. He took out a giant spoon and he STIRRED! He's right you know? I have so much compassion for others. Even if I have a hard outer shell, it's all squishy inside! After talk...

As a gift to each of our kids they know that on their 16th birthday they get to go anywhere in the US for a vacation with no siblings. Just Mom and Dad (and in this case.Grandma and Papa). Bailey's birthday party was in Kauai, HI! What a lucky little girl, because let me just tell you.Hawaii is one of the most amazing places I have ever been!

Tuesday, June 19, 2012. Fathers Day was spent BBQ'ing, and pool time. I spent SO much time in the pool I did not get many pictures. But look at all that yummy food! The Dads we are celebrating (and Jill haha). My husband, My brother and My very own Dad. The kids drying off for ice cream sundaes. Nathan and his Fathers Day Sundae. The kids are devouring their sundaes so they can get back in the pool. I hope you spent Sunday celebrating your Father like we did, it was wonderful! From My Front Porch. Guess ...

Tuesday, January 22, 2013. Bailey's Sweet 16 Jan 3rd. YAY for waking up in Oahu! We had a much different feel this morning. We couldn't wait to get out and see some stuff! Torpedo's are cool no matter what the story is behind them. Our first view of the USS Arizona Memorial from a distance. Here is Nathan and Bailey making their way onto the submarine. Can you see the date on this? 10/10/1942 I loved to see the dates on things. Especially since I can get a bit claustrophobic. I kept wondering if ther...

Sunday, November 13, 2011. Family Pumpkin Carving Night. Starting by empting the guts. Was always a problem for me as a kid, EW, but not these girls.they love it. Tenley quickly got bored with carving pumpkins and went to watch Beetle Juice instead. Once they were empty the kids picked a design and started carving. Bailey couldn't find a design she liked. This is her and Uncle Derek designing the perfect pumpkin for her. And then it was time to carve! Now THIS part I always enjoyed! To see the witches.
