The Many Faces of Sydney Kate

 The first few months of an infant's life it's all guess work -- 
but with Sydney Kate we never have to wonder what's up with her -- her little face says it all!

Those lights are so bright . . . I mean, really --

I don't get to eat until when?

WHATEVER!

Everybody jumps when I cry ...  works for me!

I know I'm cute -- just look at me -- all dressed up in my skirt and jeggins.  I never go out without a bow!

Nana thinks I don't ever smile --Momma & Daddy get most of my grins --

I told you I was sleepy!

Are you really gonna let her hold me?  Hurry up Mom and take the picture!!!

You played outside in the snow while I was napping?  Now I'm really ticked!!!!

Really Mom?  What makes you think I want ANYTHING on my head????

No way am I wearing this goofy head gear!

Brain Break

These two are lost in a world of their own - with lots of Papa questions like "Will we see sloths?"  "Where's the ducks? -- I wanna see ducks. . . 

 "Can we go swing Papa, Can we swing?"   A little girls squeals and shrieks as she goes higher (relatively speaking for a 2 1/2 yr. old, of course) and guessing all Papa's silly animal sounds -- puts all of life into proper perspective
again.

After two bouts of the "bug" and 10+ days of  Potty Training Boot Camp, Campbell was thrilled to be going somewhere with us and announced that she was going to be a "first-time listener for Nana and Papa" (hmmm-- I think she had some momma coaching before we picked her up!)

Even though it was 38 degrees -- we decided that we all needed to get outside and that a trip to the Lafortune Park before our visit to the orthopedic was just what we all needed.  Campbell couldn't have been happier -- so we bundled up and headed out!

NO, we didn't take Sister Syd out in the cold.

With chilly fingers and toes, we made a quick stop at Starbucks for kid's hot cocoa and dropped C off at home --begging to go to the doctor with us.












BTW-- we have gotten some answers-- lots going on in T's back which is causing the extreme pain in his left side -- ankle, hip and knee. Looks like we have a treatment plan -- pray for healing and deliverance from this pain!  God's our healer!!!
