The lost camera

Some of you may wonder..."Why hasn't Sydney posted any pictures of that little girl recently?" Well that would be because I lost our camera. I searched everywhere... the house, the car, Sandi's house, the diaper bag, baskets of laundry, the office, etc. It was not to be found. But then... I found it, it was hanging right next to where I hang my keys everyday. If it had been a snake... it would have bit me!!! :o)

So, here are the pictures I meant to post over the last couple of weeks.


Juan's friend Emily gave this to us just after Carmen was born. Too cute!


I came home from work the other day to this.
Lynn had just tuckered her out. So sleepy.


I got this balloon for my birthday. That was Nov 5 and as you can see from the date on the picture... that was 5 months ago. Amazing! This was the first day it came down from a full float.


Carmen decided the other day that it was time for her to sit up all by herself. Props and supports are no longer needed, thank you very much. I can't believe it. She is getting so big.


Our friend Jen gave Carmen this wonderful "Flip the Flap" book. Carmen has really become interested in books and just loves this one. She reaches for it every morning.


We have a beautiful, large azalea bush right in front of our house. It is just covered in wonderful blossoms. It reminds me of when I was a child. We always had azaleas in the front yard.
