I'm not a very good blogger. Sorry about that. I love reading other blogs, but feel like I don't have much to say or share about our lives. Anyway, maybe it will be my New Year's resolution to be better about that. Maybe. I watched Julie & Julia the other night and was so impressed that Julie started a blog not knowing if anyone at all was reading it. Sometimes I feel like it's not worth blogging, because I don't really know if anyone is reading. Is it worth it? Are any out of town people reading this thing and enjoying updates about our family? Are you out there?
Anyway, for the sake of keeping this blog alive, I'm going to give you a few Schaefer family updates and up load some recent pictures we've taken. Enjoy them...whoever you are!
Updates:
1. Our Subaru has a hole in the engine, so we're scrapping it and cutting our losses. We're heading out this afternoon to look at some cars. Wish us luck!
2. We're headed to Wisconsin to see family over Christmas break. Should be a good time had by all. We're excited to see everyone ooh and ahh over how big Sophie is getting. She's changed so much since we were there in August. Most notably...she walks & talks a lot more now. She's going to be the life of the party, I'm sure!
3. Sophie has her first cold. Last night she had a 101.5 fever. My poor baby. I am, however, so thankful that she made it 15+ months before getting really sick.
4. Yeah, I can't think of anything else. See, I'm not so good at figuring out what you guys want to know. So...I'll let some pictures do the rest of the talking:
Sophie is big enough to have blankets & baby dolls in her crib now. This was a big step for me; it was like a "coming of age" moment in her life. :)
Speaking of getting big...she can now climb up into the rocking chair in her room. (Please ignore the hideously old and worn chair...I got it for $5 at a garage sale when I was in college.)
She is definitely a climber. She loves climbing in and out of her toy box.
She'll just sit in there and play with her toys.
Just had to throw this one in. She's such a clown.
Sophie put the star on top of the Christmas tree this year. (Not really, but it makes for a cute photo, right?) She was sleeping when we set up the tree and put the lights on. When she woke up she came out and was so cute as she explored the tree and "helped" us decorate it.

Sophie has her first cold, which is why her nose is all red in this picture. We gave her a pretzel to munch on and she took it over to the pillow on the floor and just hung out there eating her snack. When did she turn into a little kid?! Matt and I can't handle that our baby girl is slipping further away every day. Her expression here is priceless. Speaking of priceless expressions...check out this one:
This is one of those photos that will show up at every family get together when Sophie is older. Priceless.

I like reading your posts! And seeing pictures of your sweet little girl! :) So sorry to hear about the car. Major bummer. Merry Christmas!
Katie,
I know how you feel about blogging. I ask the same question-what is the point sometimes-no one really reads the entries I put on our blog-a few people. I do read your blog :) When I first started our blog I thought, oh yes, I'll have lots of people reading it and it will be great. In reality for me I need to realize that it's not about how many people read, it's neat to cronicle our lives and be able to look back and see what has happened over the months. Who knows how long I will do it, but that's where I am at for now. Hope this helps :)
Katie,
I just tried to post a comment and lost it-grrr. I hear what you are saying about blog posting. Sometimes I don't post for a while because I too feel like no one is reading it really. I will tell you, I read your blog :) I think when I started ours I thought-oh it will be this popular blog, everyone will read it and love it, when in reality there are only a handful of people. I have thought about not doing it anymore and maybe someday I will, but in for now I look at it as something that chronicles our lives as they are now-something fun to look back on and see what's going on. I hope this helps!
Hey Katie,
