Packing

Well its official; Paul, Sydney and I are finally reunited as a family and back at home in California. But the night before we came back home while I was packing I couldn't help but take a fun photo opportunity with Sydney. I stuck her in a suitcase and watched her play for a few minutes and then decided that I need a few pictures, but these pictures are the end results.

Inauguration Day

Well I know it is a few days late, but on Tuesday I was interested to see the Presidential inauguration to see what Pres. Obama had to say. So I didn't want to miss his speech and I didn't know what time it was coming on so I delayed getting myself and Sydney ready for the day. So when Sydney started getting restless and wanting a change I put her on her belly. I just had to take a snap shot when she stopped and looked up at the TV and started watch the inauguration. I know it isn't the best picture in the whole word since I took it on my phone, but know when she is older I can tell her that she watched the first Black President be sworn into office. I just thought it was a fun idea.

Holidays

So now that the holidays are over, it doesn't feel like things have calmed down. Our holidays were spent in Utah with family. We had the fortunate opportunity to bless Sydney while we were in town with the whole family. We spent the week we had running back and forth between the Nelson's and the Van Wagoner Family's. It was so good to see everyone and have Sydney celebrate her first Christmas with everyone.

After a week of being in Utah Paul headed back to California for a week of being by himself, which leaves us in our current situation. I am still in Utah for about another week and loving every moment of it. Paul however is separated from us in Key West Florida. He is missing everyone but is loving the warmer weather and taking the opportunity to go play with sharks and fish in his spare time snorkeling.Sydney has been rolling over more, chatting a ton, and loves spending time with her uncles and grandparents. However we do have to admit that men scare her. Every time my dad or brothers hold her she just starts screaming, but she is starting to do better.

We hope that everyone had a great holiday and is enjoying 2009. Hopefully next time there will be so funner updates.
