    Sydney Turns 6, but Andrew Steals The Show

    Sydney6thBirthday_moviePoster

    I’m finding that doing these videos on a regular basis is getting more and more difficult. And that’s too bad because the process of making these videos is so satisfying. I feel like I’m smiling the entire time while making them.

    But time is always in short supply, and keeping priorities balanced is always a challenge.

    This video took a long time because I was trying something new (I won’t go into it) and after several months of experimentation it didn’t work and I had to cut my losses. So the video itself is very simple and does not reflect the time I actually put into it.

    At the end of the video is a special dance performance by Andrew. It may seem like a weird addition to the video, but it happened after her birthday celebration and nobody else danced that evening so he’s the only one that got the love on that. I think Sydney is secretly not happy about it.

  • Carnival Magic Cruise 2012 Photos

    Our vacation (on the Carnival Magic)  this year was LONG overdue, and was amazing. Not because of all that we did, but of how little we did. Being lazy, afternoon naps and staying up until 2am dancing are all underrated in my opinion. We spent almost the entire time on the ship and only got off for a few hours in Key West. We only planned for whatever moment we were currently in, and no further. What a way to live.

    Here are some of the photos, way too many more can be found on SmugMug

  • Sydney’s First Bed

    Room by Ikea

    This time we decided not to wait until the bed was being scaled with a single leap over, and got Sydney her own bed. She’s been really good at sleeping on the floor mat at Grandma’s house so we thought she was ready. We waited for it to be assembled before we brought her into the room. I think she was a bit confused at first, not knowing what happened to her crib.
