Spring is finally here!!!

Hello to everyone, sorry it has been a while since our last posting. We have had a tough time recently, with the passing of Grandma Schultz last week and her services in Jamestown. We didn't take too many pictures, but even under such somber circumstances, it was therapeutic to see everyone in New York. Thank you to everyone who came to Grandma's service and came to the luncheon to share pleasant thoughts and memories about Grandma. Here are a few pics from the last few weeks and one of Grandma and Kai when they met last November.


Enjoying one of the recent warm days in the back yard with mommy and his special baseball bat handed down from my dad, to me, to Kai.


Working out back with his rake. That izod shirt he is wearing was mine when I was his age, that mom found in the attic. Well, I was probably a bit older than him since he is such a big boy!

"Daddy, are my feet going to be as ugly as yours? Please say no."

Having Easter dinner at Uncle Matt and Aunt Debbie's. "Uh, did someone say there was chocolate cake for desert?"

"Look, mom, one handed!"

Hiding in the laundry basket

Kai and his Great Grandma last November, when we went to Falconer for deer season

And another pic of Grandma that everyone enjoyed at the service, it seemed to show the side of her everyone remembers: having fun, laughing, mischievous, with that twinkle in her eye. Shirley Schultz (1933-2009)

Happy Easter!

Below are a few new pics and a video of the little boy crawling all around. He is starting to get pretty quick too, and a handful to watch! Enjoy!

Here is Kai paying tribute to the 2006 World Cup champs, Italia!

Little boy is becoming a big boy before our eyes! "Look, one-handed!"

That baseball bat he has was given to me when I was born by my dad, and it has been passed down to little Kai. He is a real hitter, he can hit anything with that bat...the wall, the floor, the table, the lamps, etc. Someday he may even hit a ball with that bat!

Here is a video of the little boy crawling around. He's gonna be a terror soon...

End of March update!

Feels like a while since my last update, and now that I look back it has been. Spring is here and the weather seems to be getting a bit warmer. We can't wait until the warmth is in full effect. All the best to everyone and happy daylight savings time!

Playing peek-a-boo with mommy

Aunt Ginny from California came for a visit in March and had a good time with Kai and the family. It was great to see her and have the two of them meet. We miss her already!

Kai stretching before a workout with his cousin Noah

"Wait, wait, let me get that schmutz off your cheek, bud"

"Let me see your head...Why is it so much smaller than mine?"

Here he is with his great grandma DeCarlo

Hanging with mommy outside by the fire.

Another night by the fire. By the way, thanks again for the fire pit Uncle Rob and Aunt Di!

Bundled up with Adrienne

Craiger hypnotizing Casey and Roxy

Craiger also must have hypnotized Daddy and Kai! Is that drool coming out of BOTH their mouths???

"Hey, let me see that camera, dad, you know I like to play with electronics." Kai loves things like cameras, cell phones and the tv remote. My phone has already been submerged in water once!

Kai is such a nice boy, he even shares Auntie Jeanette's blanket with Casey. Not that I have heard her ask.

Daddy went on his 10th annual trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina at the end of March. Here is this year's Myrtle Beach Crew (Vince, Bambrick, John Jr, Thompson, Klein, Craig, Jed, Pernaci, Gabe, Jason and Mikey, and I'm in there somewhere too)

I had to wrestle this guy for my ball back.

Old Man Winter...we submit!!!

We've been going through the winter sicknesses here at the Schultz's. Kai had his first real illness last weekend where he couldn't keep any formula down. Luckily, he was eating his food though, so he didn't get any skinnier than he already is! Unfortunately, then mommy was laid up in bed with the flu. Now I am struggling through it.

As you can see I have been twittering a bit (on the right-hand side of this page). If you don't know what it is, it is just a simple way to let people know what you are up to on a daily basis. Kind of fun, kind of cheesy too, I guess. So that is about it. Here are some great pics of the little boy, smiling away as usual.

Here he is in his winter Puma jacket he got from Mrs Heron at Academy Park. Thanks Mrs. Heron he loves it!

Here is the Schultz casa after a recent snow

This is our new fence for Casey and when Kai starts running around!
Casey enjoying her free time outside, even if it is 30 degrees!

He can almost crawl, he just has trouble holding that belly up in the air!

Chillin' with Uncle Mike

Some cute close-ups

I guess those blue eyes are staying!

Nice Puma shoes!!! Thanks Auntie Liz!

Kai, meet Siddhartha. Siddhartha, Kai

Keep Austin Weird!!!

Well, I have been trying to post new pictures for, honestly, about three weeks now and have had the hardest time. Every time I tried to upload my Austin pics, I ran into problems and the computer crashed and I had to restart. So I apologize for taking so long in posting. And I have to apoligize for one more thing. All you "Kai Lovers" out there are going to be disappointed because these pics are daddy pics. I was down in Austin in January to celebrate with bud, Jim Northrop. He will be getting married in March so all his friends met in Austin to party it up one last time with him. It was a lot of fun, too much for some of his buddies, but everyone made it home alive, so that is a good thing. I have some cute video clips of Kai that I will post expeditiously, hope you all can wait a day or two!!!

My first trip to the lone star state.

The cops dress a bit different

University of Texas stadium. I snuck in to get a picture.

On my run through campus, the stadium is in the way background

Cool murels throughout Austin, the town has a hippie vibe, and the slogan is "Keep Austin Weird"

Life size chess match in the park

This is Lance's unbelievable bike shop in Austin, two blocks from where our hotel was. Mellow Johnny is a play on word of "maillot jaune" which means yellow jersey in French.

A bike he used in one of his seven Tour de France victories

A few of his "maillot jaunes"

"Are you talking to me?" Timmy "BB" Bambrick getting psyched up to go out for the night.

The night we got there, "Watch out, Austin!"

Officer Lindelow needed to iron his "club" clothes before we went out for the night.
