Aussie and more...

Ropes?...check.  Duct tape?...check.  Chloroform?...check.  I know you're thinking this must be a checklist for some decent amount of mischief.  Actually, it's part of the packing list for Australia.  These are supplies that we may deem 'essential' for the long flight.  I'm only kidding, Karen does pretty well on planes...haha!  Actually, we will employ every possible strategy to make the flight as pleasant as possible, for Sydney, us, and the other passengers.  I guess if anyone complains on our flight to Australia we can act like we don't understand, since we don't speak Australian...haha!

Well, we have bought some new toys for Sydney specifically for the flight.  We assume this might buy us an hour (possibly more) of peace on the more than 15 hour flight.  Please, send your thoughts and prayers with us through our darkest hour!!!  Actually, with just about two weeks to go, we are eagerly awaiting our trip to Australia.  While the trip's purpose is to help out Great Uncle Den, I'm sure there will be some fun and adventure integrated into the adventure.  And Sydney and Joe are both looking forward to meeting that part of the family!
In other news, Sydney has really become quite good at her signing.  She is even able to do signs in combination, such as 'food...please' and 'milk...please.'  She was really incredible when she signed "Dad, you better set the DVR for the Sounders game."  Her little arms were tired after signing that message!

As far as the pictures on this post, the first one was taken by Rebecca Brethauer.  The second one I took on the way home from Redmond last weekend...I just thought to myself..."man, I wish I could sleep that hard!"  The final picture was fun to take, and really shows how much Sydney has grown.  Technically she is at (or slightly pushing) the recommended weight limit for her bouncer, and it has actually been in the garage for many months now.  But, at daycare each morning she stops in the infant room and gets right in the old bouncer, so I thought it would be fun to get hers out and let her reminisce a little. 

Have a great weekend everyone!!!
