My baby is sick!

Sydney has been really sick and we leave for New York soon! She has pneumonia and RAD and has to take 2 antibiotics, steroids, and breathing treatments. I am worried about the trip but hopefully she will feel better soon!

Happy 4th of July!

Sydney has been sick for several days with pneumonia. We took it easy today but I luckily I was able to snap a few pictures while she was feeling pretty good. She was so excited to go see the fireworks and I am thankful that she felt well enough to go. Hopefully she will fully recover before we head up to New York on Wednesday.

Finally my Books are Finished!

I have spent many hours a day trying to finish Sydney's life-book and scrapbook for 2008. I failed to scrapbook any of the pictures from China or the first 4 months home. So I have had to spend MANY hours to get caught up while not getting behind on current pictures. It is funny to say that I was stressed about being behind in scrapbooking but it was a constant item on my "things to do list" that I really wanted the books off that list. Well, I finally finished and ordered my 2 books! They should be here in a week!! Sydney will be so excited to see the final products. I cannot tell you how good it feels to be caught up and I can finally have "free time" after 9:00pm! I almost thought of it as a second job at night, but the work has paid off and I am very happy with my books.

I used Blurb to make my 12 x 12 books. I created all of my scrapbook collages with a program called Fotofusion. I love it and it is very easy to use.

Now I can ENJOY the summer!

Fun at McDonald's

Sydney loves to go to McDonalds's but I love to hear her call it "Old McDonald's". It is so cute!

Enjoying the Summer Heat

We had so much fun spending time with the family in our travel group to get Sydney. We were so lucky to travel half way around the world and end up with a family who lives 25 minutes away. It is wonderful to be able to keep close contact with a family who shared such a special moment in our lives.

Splash Fun!
