Hello Fabulous 6

Hello 6 followers. I'm thinking I should start every entry out by saying Dear (my 6 follower's names). haha! I've probably lost most of you since my posts have been lacking. Sometimes in the midst of my day I think of a really interesting topic I'd like to blog about. I think of all these really profound things to say and I get really excited to get home & start typing. Then by the time we're done with dinner, by the time Sydney is fast asleep & Stephen is in his "man cave", I just don't have the energy or the "words". My hands are too achy to type, my mind is garbled with things like we're out of trash bags or that I need to send my cousin's wedding RSVP back before the deadline. I top off the evening loading the dishwasher & taking a quick bath in the tub before bed. I know I should be using my free time to be doing all the creative stuff I keep talking about "wanting" to do...but if only I had the energy. At least I've kept my commitment to exercise & eat (mostly) better. I've been keeping up with my walking and I am down another 10 pounds. I'm loosing slowly but I am at a much healthier weight and I am feeling more like myself then I have in a long time. I am starting to recognize myself in photos.

I'm loving that Summer is just about here. Sydney & I spend the afternoons in our yard or at the park and I am loving it. She's been an easier baby lately. She still has her "feisty" moments...but we are having fun together. She is so funny. I peeked in her room one morning to see her trying to give"Roo" her paci. She was putting it to his mouth & making a sucking sound. The cuteness was too much! She has such a BIG, sweet, loving personality.

Tomorrow she has a "performance" at school. The older kids will be doing a talent show type thing & they have invited the babies & toddlers (with thier moms) to come on stage to do a little song. I'm imagining her crying when she sees all the people in the audience. We will see! Wish us luck. :) I'll post photos soon...& maybe an interesting and profound blog post will follow.

P.S. Check the link. This is my HOPE.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter 2010!

I love Sydney's Easter dress. It's Liberty of London for Target. I can not get enough of the Liberty stuff at Target! I want everything! I bought myself a coordinating sun dress which I didn't even end up wearing for Easter. I will save it for another special occasion. I actually bought the dress to wear in some spring photos I went to take with Sydney. I had the intention of giving my mom a photo for Mother's Day. Besides I am always behind the lens & I rarely get a good photo with Sydney. The whole photo shoot was a FAIL! Sydney was grumpy, I looked terrible & the young girl taking photos was such an amateur. I was really bummed. Maybe we'll try again at another time. Looking at the photos made me realize I still have 20 lbs to lose and it shows!

Sydney digging in to her very 1st Easter basket. I've always loved holidays but she makes them even more special.

The eggs! Created by my hubby & I and The Bizarros.

Look at what the Easter bunny brought Sydney. I forgot to leave him carrots so he got back at me by eating the sunflower patch I just planted. Next year I must remember to leave him carrots!

On a side note, I have lost a blog follower. Now I am down to 5 followers. LOL. Actually, it's a little disheartening. I know I use this blog as therapy & I don't always need people to read or comment but this is pretty pathetic. It's like creating a piece of art & no one ever getting to enjoy it. Sure, creating it is the most rewarding part but if no one ever sees it it's like it never existed. :Sigh: I'm beginning to wonder if blogging is really worth my time. My family even stopped reading! At least Jenny & Audrey still keep up with this blog. Hi loyal readers! LOL!Anyone else out there?
