Apparently, Eliza is trilingual. She told me today, "'Uno momento, por favor' means hello in French!"

Hangin' with the Smiths





It was a typical evening with the Smiths...roasting marshmallows and passing around Willa. Oh, and Jackie and Amy were dressed alike. Perhaps we're spending a little too much time together!


Happy Thanksgiving!

Thursday, November 27, 2008

Sorry we have no photos of our Turkey Day. Paul forgot the camera and Jackie was home sick with a miserable cold and pink eye (thanks, Eliza!). Paul and E. had a lovely dinner complete with crab cakes and oyster stuffing at our neighbor, Amy's, parents' house. Willa and Mommy spent the day napping and watching "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." Hope you had a great day!

Flying and Slobbering


Can you tell Willa is teething? Luckily, this is pretty much her default mood, teething or not.

Cub Fans


Daddy and Eliza both love the Cubs and Vans tennies.

Go Obama!!!!

Tuesday, November 4, 2008




Paul took the day off today so we could squeeze in some more volunteer work this morning while our nanny was here. Check out the whole "Schoknecht Obama-Support-Team" suited up in our Obama gear! Thanks to Auntie Beth for Willa's cool "Barack-a-Bye-Baby" t-shirt!! We're all heading out this afternoon to bring snacks to the people standing in long lines at the polls. Eliza has donated the rest of her Halloween candy to the cause! Fingers crossed...


More Halloween Fun

Friday, October 31, 2008





Strawberry Shortcake had a super fun Halloween followed by a nice, long, pink-tinted bath.




Happy Halloween!

We had so much fun trick-or-treating with Audrey and Cole tonight! Eliza's Strawberry Shortcake costume turned out great and Willa was the cutest little Princess Leia ever!

Daily Joke from Eliza

Friday, October 17, 2008

Eliza told a hilarious joke today...

Q: What kind of cow eats grass?
A: Just a plain old cow.

Paul and I couldn't stop laughing!

Littlest Bears Fan

Even Willa's lucky pacifier couldn't save the Bears today.

Fancy Ladies

Eliza and Audrey playing "fancy ladies"

Buganatious!




We found a really cool caterpillar on our porch today. Eliza said, "He's totally buganatious!" Apparently, that's a good thing.
