Snow, Flowers, and More...

The beginning of February has been just as busy as the end of January.  This is my, hopefully justified, excuse for not having an entry in the past couple of weeks.  But since our last post, we experienced a nice snow storm.  This amounted to about 2 feet at our house.  It was great fun to watch it come down, but less fun driving into town in it.  Sydney was able to use this new landscape at school to build snowman during outside play time.  And since Daddy always sees the importance of teaching valuable life-lessons, he was able to drive home one important rule this winter...."don't eat the yellow snow."  It is likely something that will stick with her over the years. 

Sydney continued her ballet.  Actually, she finished her last class today.  While she was the epitome of grace and elegance, she is ready to transition back to swim class next session.  OK...so perhaps grace and elegance is a stretch, and more likely attention-deficit and random off-rhythm movements were more accurate...but she still has a great time nonetheless, and it was fun to watch her.  

Sydney also got her chance to practice very important ‘flower girl’ skills this past weekend when her Grandpa Don got married to Linda.  Sydney took to the task very seriously, and when the request was made for her to create petals on the ground she violently shook the poor flowers until only the stems remained.  I'm sure she'll have time to refine her approach, but she made her debut role a sincere effort.  In June, she can tackle the role with the approach of a veteran. 

Over the next couple of weeks, Sydney will be going to different birthdays to help celebrate the passing of years among her young friends.  We'll certainly have more to share on that front, as well as other fun happenings. 

Until then, have a great weekend!!!
