Just in Time

Our baby boy has been very active the last several weeks but every time I have Bill try to feel him kick he stops. Well last night I was relaxing on the couch and our little guy was kicking so big, I yelled for Bill and he got there just in time to feel two big kicks and then someone decided to take a rest. Just in time for Father's Day! We are getting ready to head up to brunch with our friends the Parker's. Everyone enjoy the day!

Another glimpse of a miracle

Today I had the opportunity of having another US. My doctor's office may be getting a new ultrasound machine and they needed a patient in order to demo the machine, I got to be the lucky participant. I was glad to have another look at our little boy. I believe a baby inside a mother's womb is a complete miracle and it is so cool to see him kick on the screen and feel it at the exact moment. He was all curled up with his arms around his knees, so cute. I did get some pictures but not on disc so I am not able to post the photos, sorry.

Project but no photos

I am working on a big project, you can put your guess as a comment if you wish. I would show you a photo of the project so far but my camera is broke. Major bummer. I am almost lost without it. Saturday Sydney and I went to the post office and shipped the camera back to Nikon to see if they can fix the problem,"lens error" and depending on what it will cost to fix we may or may not be buying a new camera. We are going to the beach in less than a month so the real challenge is to see if we can have a camera in time to take on vacation. Could I survive a vacation without a camera? Well honestly I could survive but I would be so sad not to have captured so many great moments. Last fall when we went to Kiawah Island for a week I took over 500 photos. Of course now that my camera is broke I am thinking of all these things I need pictures of...Sydney in her new big girl bed, my project, my growing belly.... anyway I will survive. By the way isn't it cute how my baby is sucking his thumb this week? I wonder if he really is sucking his thumb. During our ultrasound he stuck his entire hand in his mouth. Sydney was never much for sucking her thumb but she did appreciate her paci.

Burlington Park

Bill's company picnic was at Burlington City Park last weekend. The park is awesome, they have a carousel, train and kiddy rides. We had a great picnic with all my husbands coworkers and their families and then got to enjoy the rides. Sydney's favorite is the carousel, she cries when it is time to get off. It was a wonderful family, fun filled day.

Picture Day

Today I took Sydney to get her picture taken at Portrait Innovations. We arrived a bit early to watch our friends get their picture taken, then we had a little wait. Well by the time it was our turn Syd was getting a bit tired of the whole scene. A guy started to set up the background and Sydney was clinging to we like glue. She would not smile and would not let go of me. I tried bribery and nothing was working. I finally told the guy, "I know you are nice but this is not working we need a lady photographer." Well all the ladies were busy so we had to schedule another time slot, go to lunch and come back. Rachel took her picture after lunch and Sydney did wonderful. I had thoughts of trying to pick one image but it was too hard to pick and since this is only the third time I have gotten her picture taken I bought a large package. Here are a few of the pics.

My little Helper

Sydney is such a good little helper. I do fear that she will grow to be a little OCD like her dad and I. She often cleans right beside me and she loves to help her dad pick up sticks in the yard and wash vehicles. On this particular day she helped Bill wash dishes and then spent at least 5 minutes scrubbing the kitchen sink without being prompted. She is such a sweet little girl.

Favorite Book

Sydney has a new favorite book. Does this sound familiar to anyone...
"and on that child there is a dog, a dozing dog on a dreaming child on a snoring granny on a cozy bed.." I have this book committed to memory! It is "The Napping House" by Audrey Wood. Sydney loves to look for the flea on each page. When the flea bites the mouse she says "we do not bite!" When the granny breaks the bed she laughs hysterically. We read this book every night!
