January....here we go

I love her serious face (she's concentrating on the camera).

I am hoping to be more diligent about posting this year so I thought I would start the year off right with just a simple "what we have been up to this week" post. This has been a week of first for the Schmidt's. Matt had his first day at the University of Hawaii while Alma and I had our first day home alone without him (we all were a little bummed that Daddy had to go back to work). I ventured out alone with Alma for the first time sense I arrived on the island. I'm still learning my way around and a bit nervous as our GPS doesn't do so great here. And perhaps most exciting Alma is standing on her own now with confidence. Oh and she learned how to flush the toilet yesterday which brought much joy and amazement (to her, not me). Tomorrow she gets her 9-month pictures made. Can't wait to share these with you all.

See no hands

Wish this picture had sound effects....she's making her famous noise.

Any time I bring out the camera this is what she wants.
