Oscar has inherited the Schulz Goodbye Gene. This gene makes the process of saying goodbye to loved ones very difficult and emotional. All of us Schulzes carry this trait…just imagine what it is like when we say goodbye to each other. It happened yesterday when we were packing up from our stay with my sister, [...]

Don’t tell the authorities. Our kids have a little drum circle ritual going on. You can join in this after-bath, pre-bed jam session if you bring your own mojo. As you can see, clothing is optional.
Lately I’ve been doing push-ups to strengthen my arms. So far I can manage two excruciating sets of ten every other day. It is a good challenge for me that doesn’t take much time at all. Evidently I’m making an impression on Oscar. We saw him tackle his own workout this evening. The boy was [...]
Today Laurel raised herself into a stand without support for the first time. We believe that our kids reach developmental milestones after a visit to Grammy & Poppy and sure enough, it happened again.
Here are some notes on Oscar. He loves to use the expression “speaking of …” to transition to something on his mind. [...]
I’ve been to Murphys and back since my last post. Brian’s mom wanted to make a trip there this summer and so the kids and I tagged along. We were lucky that the extreme heat and smoky skies cleared out on the day that we arrived, so we had a very pleasant stay.
Here we [...]
I took both of the kids in for haircuts today. It was actually Laurel’s first haircut. I was having fun with pigtails in her hair but she figured out how to tear them off so all of those teeny-weeny ponytail holders that look like orthodontic bands will have to wait. I really prefer Oscar’s hair [...]

Here’s our neighborhood 4th of July parade. It is a very simple event where everyone gathers at the center of our neighborhood and walks together for a couple of blocks. I was so excited to bring my crew down to the parade all decked out in red, white, and blue and with flags attached to [...]
Oscar took his Uncle Matthew and Aunt Turtle to the San Diego County Fair on Sunday. This was their second annual fair trip. Matt & Turtle are really the best for doing this. I’m so glad that Oscar gets to go to the fair and even happier that I didn’t have to go.
After his [...]
Oscar’s decided that the most comfortable way to sleep is in the buff. There’s no reason that we could come up with to not allow this so that’s what he does now.
Also, here’s a conversation we had last night:
Oscar said “Daddy, I want a TV in my room.”
Brian responded “Why do you want that?”
Oscar, “Because [...]
Gotta Dance
Posted in oscar on May 30th, 2008
Oscar was supposed to be sleeping a few minutes ago when I heard all kinds of ruckus and music coming from his room. I opened the door to check in on him and saw him standing in the middle of the room holding a teddy bear. He said to me,
“I want to dance, Momma.”
So [...]
