Sunday night at the Schmidt house

Oh my.

Maggie, as my bridesmaid I feel like you should have reminded me that I wasn't complete as a bride until I had a head-piece like this. And a bigger skirt. And this guy.  I could've been so pretty...

The Power of Wireless Off-Camera Flash!



Even though I have to work this weekend, I can say happy Friday. Why? Cause it's gadget Friday! Happy Gadget Friday!

Alright, I concede that this is really dorky

And nobody will probably care about it but me, but here's a movie that was made by independent filmmaker Jamin Winans using my camera. There's a making of featurette first with the actual movie after.

Ben, this commercial reminds me of your work

From the Mad Men party

From the Mad Men theme party. Don't worry, it's a bubblegum cigarette.
Dad just said "Maggie, pills." I'm going to go ahead and call it a sentence!

This one's for you, Maggie!

We have more chairs at this table... Come and join us!

Hilarious (read all the way to the end! His name is the best part!)

Dear Kathryn Schmidt,

I do understand that you have upgraded the program and you want to down grade it.

Kathryn, I do sincerely regret for the inconvenience that happened, I apologies for the delay in response, since you want to downgrade the software.

a. Login to taxfreedom.com

b. Use the same user id to login and choose the option “I Qualify”
c. After entering all his personal Information and when the AGI is greater than $31,000 the program will give a popup that he does not qualify and gives you an option to choose the programs like (Basic, Deluxe etc…)

d. You cannot transfer the past year taxes to 2009, but by doing this you can use the same user i-d and password for the tax year 2010.

Sorry to say this since there is no other option to do am suggesting you to prepare your taxes from beginning

Dad smiles


You have to be quick to catch them, but the rare Jim Schmidt smiles still do occur.

The Salt Slab

I thought it might be fun to have a central place for all of us to communicate, post videos, show pictures, etc. I know Facebook allows us to send messages to each other, but this will give us the ability to have it all in one place. Plus, I got to pick background colors and font styles and that was a lot of fun for me. So humor me and let's give this a shot. Ben and I miss you guys so much, and I'm hoping this will serve as a fun way to keep in touch in between visits!
