Twinkle, Twinkle LittleStar

Sydney has a new favorite song. Twinkle, twinkle little star. But she has renamed it to Twinkle Star What You Are.
Anyways, take a look and you'll see what I mean.



Sorry that the video is the wrong way.

Long Overdue Update

Yes,I am still alive and well . If anyone has noticed I kind of dropped off the blogging world. The last time I wrote was in October and I did have good intentions of getting more posts up before the year was over. Well as you can see that didn't happen, and for a very good reason.

I'm pregnant! I was very sick at the beginning and simply taking care of Syd became a task all of its own. Then when I started feeling better it was the week before we headed off to Canada. And the last 4 weeks were spent in Canada.


So here's the latest utlrasound picture of our baby. The baby is due on the 13th of July so this picture is the baby at 14 weeks.

Hopefully I can get a couple pictures from last Halloween - New Year put up this week.

My girly girl

Sydney is definetly a girly girl. She loves the mirror - when she was little and would cry, if she could see herself in the mirror, the crying would stop. She loves shoes like every other girl, but at 21 months old she dreams about shoes, she said shoes the other night in her sleep. Everyday when she gets dressed, she has to go and check out her outfit in the mirror to approve. She love to shower, but her favorite part is putting lotion on after a shower. Lipgloss is also a new found favorite. She has a purse that she carries around with her toy key, wallet, and cell phone. She is also loving hats. Everytime we go outside - she always reminds us that she needs her hat.

T-shirt dress

Here is Syd's newest dress. I was bored one day and went through my box of material and found an old t-shirt and loved the stripes. My old t-shirt looks a thousand times better on Syd - the dress was really easy to sew and with a bit of ribbon it looks really cute.

Wall Tattoos

I love wall tattoos. I have loved these since I frist saw them - my problem is that we have a small apartment and I've had problems finding the perfect one. While at the inlaws last week I finally found one that works for us. It was a task and a half putting it up with all the small pieces. But I'm happy with how it turned out.

Sydney's Summer Adventures

The last weekend in August we had a Women's Weekend with 20 women from David's family. We spent the weekend in the Harz region of Germany. We rented what once was a farm house - so there was plenty of room and a nice fenced in area for the kids to play in.


The week following the Womens weekend Syd and I spent it at David's parents. We had a couple days of super summer weather - so Syd lived in her little pool in Oma and Opa's garden.


Sydney loves to go to car rides - one of her favourite things to say is 'auto fahren', which means drive car in English. She would always run to the driver's seat and try to get in before anzone else. So on our way back to Stuttgart we took a couple pictures of Syd driving.
