So here's the dish I was eluding to around christmas....For those of you that don't already know this we are expecting!....AGAIN! Although I'm not so sure I'm ready for a second with Syd under the same roof. You'd understand if you've ever seen her with her babies or her poor cousin Jalyn! We've got an ultrasound in about 5 weeks, which means we're right around 13 weeks down the path. The due date is set at August 11, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be a mild summer! Hopefully it sticks, or someone could very easily be sharing their birthday that month! I think auntie Caley is hoping for early....give you any clue when hers is? We have family birthdays Aug 5, 17, 19 and 25....

We accomplished all kinds of things this weekend, lucky for us, daddy got to spend 3 days at home, so Syd is rather spoiled right now and keeps asking for daddy. He used some of his time to fix 2 more annoyances in the new house....one of them was his very own fault! First up was the bathroom faucet, it's been backwards since we moved in, and we either waited forever for hot water at the faucet, or froze our fingers at the others...how can you manage to only get ONE faucet backwards? After that the dishwasher was up. We had to wait for a dishwasher on back order when we moved, since the one we thought came with the house ran away on us...so daddy got lucky again and had to install the shiny new black dishwasher....unfortunately a culmination of things led to it's demise. After about 3 uses the entire thing came loose from the cabinet, and it's been a game to close it ever since. Although I was used to the trick to close it, it sure is nice having it function properly now!

The last part of the agenda was trying to take pictures of the little demon to coincide with valentines day. She had a super cute outfit for christmas eve services which we never got to, and before the weed outgrows it I wanted a picture. Easier said than done! It was easier to corral 3 of my sisters kids than it was to get Syd to smile....at all! She was in the mood to destroy, the basement that is! I couldn't get her to sit in one spot for more than a minute at a time...so of the 50 or so pictures I snapped, here's the ONLY one of her looking at the camera with half a smile!
