Zanna and Sydney, Fu Sisters for life!
And here we are again! I decided to try blogging again. Be warned, however, I will most likely NOT post many photos here. It is just a bit too time-consuming for me and I am also too lazy. Plus, I post my photos on Facebook, so if you want to see Sydney, check them out there.
So much has happened the past seven months, so I'm not even going to attempt to cover it all. Here are some highlights:
October - Sydney was a fairy (from Tinkerbell) named Silvermist for Halloween. She got to go to the Bi-Zi Farms pumpkin patch twice!
November - We all headed down to southern CA for Thanksgiving, Disneyland, and closure for Grandma Joe's ashes.
December - Sydney sat on Santa's lap for the first time! She was brave. We spent Christmas here in Vancouver.
January - Celebrated our third Gotcha Day Anniversary (Family Day) with Sydney's Fu sisters.
February - Sydney turned four! She had a big birthday dinner at Red Robin with about 13 friends and family. She also got to have cake at her Kidspace preschool.
March - Sydney's annual checkup results: 30 pounds, 38 inches! Growing girl, but still our little petite peanut.
Sydney continues to amaze us with what she learns and remembers. She has used words such as "appropriately" and "disappointed", um, appropriately and in context! We think there's something to Grandpa Joe's opinion that she has some sort of photographic memory - a few days ago she had watched a bit of the 80's movie "Clash of the Titans" which, we know, was probably inappropriate for her (and thus, might make the critics disappointed in us.) At any rate, she reported, in great detail, a play-by-play account of what she remembered, to Grandpa Jim. As Brian and I sat listening, all three of us adults were blown away by her description. Hopefully she won't relay the story to her preschool teachers; talk about "chopping off Medusa's head and seeing the blood pour out" or "that mean guy stabbing the bag with the head in it and the blood dripping out and turning into scorpions" may raise some red flags and get us some phone calls.
This past week was Brian's "Spring Break", which felt more like Winter Slushy Break. Nonetheless, we did have a couple of good weather days. One day I actually got outside to do some bulb planting. Sydney "helped" me out while Brian stayed inside to paint a wall. She got a bit cold, so she told me she was going in. As I was finishing up and cleaning up, I thought I heard crying - so I went into the garage and discovered that Sydney had gotten into my car and locked herself in (accidentally) and was crying scared. After Brian and I showed her how to unlock the locks and open the door, she calmed down and told us she would never do that again...
Happy Easter, everyone! (Whoever is still out there!)

Just checked Sydney's blog again after a long time. I need to get up to Vancouver. I'm missing the early childhood years of Sydney and she is growing up so fast. Should you decide to drive down to Arizona or California for a visit in your "new" car, that would be good too. Read all your new blogs and I think this is a great way to chronicle some of Sydney's life as a child. I keep a journal for the past 10 or more years and this helps me with some important history and events in our lives. Keep it up!
