a big thank-you to my soon-to-be sister-in-law, jessie, for taking these great maternity pics for us! (these are just a few of the many...)

again, not a great picture of the bump, but i felt like i needed to post SOMETHING.  (i've done a terrible job remembering to take intentional profile shots!) this picture was taken at my wonderful shower in berne last month.

so it's not a great profile pic, but you can still kind of see her.  :)  this is her first concert: lady antebellum at the elkhart county fair.  we think she liked it.  :)

the schwartz family headed south to galveston, tx for the annual vacation. we stayed at a beach house on the gulf. absolutely beautiful! we loved staying a night in dallas at jared's place, as well as another night in waco at joel and jess'. texas was a fun cultural experience, from hov's and barbecues to those incredible frozen yogurt self-serve places. (p.s. indiana, we need to introduce you to these...great business opportunity for anyone interested!)  :)
