Welcome!

'Unforeseen Expectations' is a blog documenting the life of the three Schallmo's: Kelly, Matthew & Reagan.

We have a new addition to the family. Our first-born son, Reagan is our most recent unforeseen expectation of God's blessings. Join us on our journey...we don't know what to expect.

First Productive Day at the Park

While Daddy went frisbee golfing with a friend today, Reagan and I loaded up and went to the park.  I'm happy to announce that we did more this time besides laying around on a blanket taking pictures of ourselves. First, Reagan had brunch while pulling out every blade of grass within arms reach. 



Then, he rolled around for all of five minutes before he was bored and ready for the next activity.  



So, we went to the swings for the first time.  "Reagan, do not suck on the swing! ! !"  Ewww.... 


He had a blast . . . that is once I finally started him pushing him where he was actually moving.  The other parents were probably laughing silently at me, because at first he was only moving like 3 inches.  Ok, so I was a bit overprotective at the swings. Haha ! 




When I was putting him in the car to leave, I noticed that his socks were dirty for the first time ever! He was a true boy today, grinding his feet into the dirt.


Now, that I know he loves the swing, we will have to go back more often : )

My First Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day was the best day ever! Matthew surprised me by letting me sleep in and then woke me up to a dozen roses and a homemade scrapbook. Anyone who knows me knows that I am more about sentimental gifts than store bought ones, so he did GREAT! ! !

The sweetest letter from my little man with a little help from Daddy.

Gifts that are on the way 
Let me just say that the Dyson DustBuster is here and is AWESOME ! ! !

This describes him so well. . . . . always on the go.  He barely sat still long enough for this project. 


Then, Reagan handed me a certificate with another precious handprint.


Matthew also wrote me the most beautiful letter in our journal that we write to one another in.  The day was more special than I could have ever imagined.  
Another awesome gift is that Mom and Dad Schallmo came down to visit for the week.  For Mother's Day, we all headed to a trail for a nice, relaxing walk.


Matthew picked out Reagan's outfit so that they would match - - plaid shorts and a blue shirt




We ended the day with a nice dinner at Hibachi's Buffet.  Reagan was sticking his tongue out at all the people around us. Hehe!
