Sydney's New Bike




A little late, but Sydney's Birthday Party was this weekend. The prize winning gift -- a new bike! She absolutely loves it. Daddy put it together yesterday and she has been riding everyday. She will be devastated if it snows again.

Night at the Y

It's Wednesday night. Swimming lessons at the Y. First time we've had class in about 3 weeks, since class had been cancelled due to weather (snow) the last 3 weeks. Here a couple of photos I snapped with the camera on my cell phone. Not the best, but what do you expect for 2 megapixels?








Syd is sitting on the lap of one of our friends, Terri, who's daughter is in Spencer's swim class. Syd is playing a game on Terri's iPhone. Amazing.....I'm sure I was playing with rocks and dirt when I was 3 and my daughter is playing on an iPhone!





This photo is quite blurry (see explanation above). Spencer has swimming class first, then Syd's class is after his. Once Spencer is done, he likes to have a go at the rock wall while we wait for Syd. Tonight, it took him about 20 minutes, but he finally reached the top. I took this photo just as he was starting down. The girl who runs the rock wall says she's pretty impressed with his abilities as a 5-year old, considering many adults can't make it to to the top. By the way, it's 26ft to the top. I asked about a climbing class, but she said it's only for adults. However, they're mulling an idea to start one for kids. She said Spencer's a natural. Now if we can just figure out how he can get rich doing it and allow Daddy to retire early.......
