After much pondering, prayer, and harassment from family and friends, I am sheepishly returning from my nearly six month blogging hiatus! Here's what I have learned about blogging:
once you stop, it's hard to start again (it's the opposite of what happens when you eat Pringles). You miss a week, a month, and it's a slippery slope from there. So, because I do want to document my life and the life of my child, I am resolutely resolving (how's that for a tongue twister?) to be a better blogger. If you want to come along for the ride, that's fine too!
Last night, Brandon and I hosted our first annual Halloween party. Costumes were required; children were forbidden. We invited 8 couples to come in costume for a night of merriment and mayhem (okay, not much mayhem occurred). I think it was a smashing success. I hope my guests would agree. We dined on baked potatoes, chili, rolls, salad and cookies.
We had a costume contest.
(Yes, you can hire me for your daughter's Disney princess birthday party.)
We had old people.
We had pirates:My cousin Shelby and her husband, Tom.
(I only recently met her, but that's a story for another day!)
We had '80's punk rockers.
Everyone had fantastic costumes. We laughed and played games and enjoyed the freedom of being childless for a few hours. I can't wait for next year!
(Oh, one more thing. I decided to make my blog public again and just be more careful about what I write. Please don't share this blog with any of your friends who are dangerous stalkers.)

The first in a long line of sucessful Schaeffer halloween parties! It looks like it was a blast!
I am so glad to see you and your family again! Addy is so cute and big--she is a doll. And your Snow White costume was perfect. I can't wait for more updates.
Sweet! Another blog I can follow! And it doesn't matter that I see you all the time! The party was totally rockin', way to go.
Yay! I love your blog! And I really love new pictures of Addy! Those cookies looked amazing. Tell whoever made them, Wow!
Welcome back, you were missed! Also, love the snow white costume...it reminds me of high school.
I am SO glad you are back. Thank goodness. Addy grew up! I would not have recognized her as the same baby from your Random Schmamdom post that was always greeting me when I came to your blog. She's adorable! Your parties always look so fun. Are those "my mom's" sugar cookies? They remind me of mine, and if so they are a labor of love like unto childbirth to make. You really are the perfect Snow White. Now please don't go another 6 months w/out posting.
YEAH! I am so glad you are back to the blogging world. I was just thinking that you should go work at Disneyland...you are a perfect Snow white!
Welcome back!! What a fun Halloween party...those cookies look spectacular. I hope that blogging becomes addictive again because 6 months between posts is way too long.
Its about time! Welcome back. Love the costume. You look very cute. Keep up with the blog, it looks great..
We just did an adult Halloween party on Saturday. We did a murder mystery and it was so much fun dressing up and playing parts. My friend put it together last year and it was a blast so the 2 of us put it together again this year.
I am SO HAPPY to see that you are blogging again. I seriously was starting to worry and thought something had happened to you! :D
