On this #internationalwomensday, I celebrated with @kennedyspacecenter listening to Astronaut Scholar Riley Havel convince 100+ guests that studying meteorites is for adrenaline junkies! She’s brilliant and a great speaker- so proud! Loved having my sidekick @nataliegschumacher08- pretty sure I will be listening to her share scientific discoveries someday! #lilschus #stem #astronautscholars
The Running Schus hit the Avenue this morning with the Gingerbread Run @gktwvillage! #lilschus #gingerbreadrun
It was a rough day for 13.1 miles across (what felt like) endless cobblestone today. But, we finished! And mile 11 water stop welcomed us after their amazing tv interview! @stacsfl Ha! Now…do we do this to ourselves again?? That is the question! #runningschu #lilschus #ouchalfmarathon
BMC football season came to a close last night after a loss in third round of playoffs. Great season for these boys. Next year, we will be watching our senior football player and sophomore cheerleader! Ahhh! #GoHornets! #lilschus
Emi’s last elementary school soccer game and last one with “the boys.” She went out on a high note -scoring a goal today! She was riding high the rest of the day! Let’s hope for enough interest to have a girls team in middle school! #lilschus #cyssports #STACS
Homecoming Game 2023 ✅ #GoHornets #1Moore #LilSchus
Em loved stamping the International Night Passports. Fun times! #irishdance #lilschus
Finally got back to volunteering @gktwvillage tonight. It has been a minute! Emilee had her first “real” volunteer shift! As we walked into the Village, she asked if she could ride “her merry-go-round.” This is definitely a shift for her to experience it all through a different lens! We loved working Big Splash Bash! #volunteer #lilschus #gktwvolunteer
I do believe Steve and I have sufficiently invoked the spirit of Jimmy Buffett with our lives in Florida. So when you are at a loss of what to do next…just ask, “what would Jimmy Buffett do?” In this pic, Uncle Steve took two Schus for a week on a boat…living the lives of sailors. #sisterofasailor #sailingwithsteve #lilschus #WWJBD
Nat’s first freshman game. Should be a fun four years with these kids. #lilschus #BMC #1Moore #GoHornets Photo Credit: @docphipps2
Hit the North End for dinner and dessert with the ceremonial eating of the cannoli! #lilschus #irishdance #NorthEnd
Nat wrapped a tough afternoon of competition. Proud of her beautiful dancing and placement, but the highlight was being recognized as one of the original students with @sarahcostelloirishdance! Nat’s Irish dance journey is such a big part of her identity. It has taken her on fun travels, brought her amazing friends, and given her such confidence to tackle any challenge. Plus, her teacher/coach has been an amazing role model. #lilschus #irishdance
What a good morning if competition for Em! She received first place in her reel and was very happy- lives a trophy! #lilschus #irishdance

Nat has been counting down the days to @riverdance. Her experience at Riverdance Summer Camp was something special and to watch her instructors perform live in our hometown and beautiful performing arts center was something! Thank you @annamaifitz - you and the entire troupe looked amazing! We loved seeing you! Em sported a special Irish dance skirt (from Ireland) that was given to Nat by our dear friend, the late George Glenn…just seemed appropriate. Em also had a great experience meeting Chef Greg @socothorntonpark after raving about the crispy Mac n cheese croquettes. Special day for the girls!!! We thank @sarahcostelloirishdance for invoking the passion for Irish dance! For James…take a moment of silence for the Jags’ loss! # #lilschus

Annual Schumacher Secret Santa This year involved a competitive putt putt competition the Winter Summerland course, lunch @terralinacrafteditalian, the tree trail @disneysprings and candle making! David was our winner and Em said the person with the most points gets a solo pic in the sleigh! 🤣 #lilschus #holeinone
Kids spent a late night volunteering with this year’s Night of a Million Lights benefitting @gktwvillage! I cannot wait to see it first hand! We choose to spend our holiday time in many ways and I cannot think of a better one! Get your spectacular lights fix with an evening out to NOAML. How awesome that this event can stand on its own outside of the Village gates. I know it did so much good for our community during the height of the pandemic. When the Village was unable to welcome wish families, they opened up to our community and gave us such a special experience. Please continue to support this festive event that does so much good for children around the globe. Visit @islandh2owaterpark for this year’s Night of a Million Lights!!! #lilschus #volunteer #hokidays #christmaslights #gktwvillage
