Today was baby girls 4th birthday and she was quite the little princess. This year she really was very excited about the day and was talking about it the weeks leading up to the day.
We had a little gift for her in the morning when she woke up, and cake and another gift in the evening after dinner.
While it’s only been 4 years, I can’t imagine life without her. It seems like we’ve known her forever!
We love you Sydney!

Almost a year ago we decided to get a annual family membership to the Museum of Science and Industry, hoping it would be worth the $140 or so dollars. Looking back now, I can say without a doubt it’s one of the best investments we have made. What would normally be a very expensive trip with the kids ends up being no cost at all except for the gas to get there. Even parking is included! If I had to guess I would say we have gone there around 20x since we purchased the membership. It’s a great place to take the kids in the winter, or when it’s raining.
The place is so darn big that you can go on a regular basis and still not see anything twice, not to mention they are always having new exhibits.
Everything in this video was shot with the GoPro Hero 3+. It’s not a great indoor/low light camera, but it’s not the worst either. I was pretty happy with the quality overall. It’s so small that I just had it in my hand all day and turned it on and off as I saw opportunities to shoot.
A few weeks ago the kids received a surprise from the mail man. Left on the porch was a box of joy, from none other than Santa Aunt Shirley.
It took us about a week to finally open the box (we knew we would need to set some serious time aside when they could indulge) but once it started they were all so excited.
And the occasion? Just because. Just because she wanted to do something nice for the kids. Those are always the best surprises.
Brenda decided to record and edit a short thank you video, and to the end of that I added a brief interview with Andrew where he discusses the various new Skylander characters.
We love you Aunt Shirley! Thank you so much from all of us.
Sydney had her very first on-stage performance this week. Tuesday was her “Fall Program” at Kensington Schools in Wheaton.
While all parents are certainly biased toward their own kids, I can say with confidence that she was the best singer, best performer and loudest person on stage bar none! I was so so proud of her. She showed nothing but confidence and pride and was so excited to see Max and Andrew sitting in the second row right in front of her on the stage.
I love my baby girl!
