Sifting through the Blur…

For those coming here for a while, you will have noticed that it got a small facelift.  Nothing really fancy.  Upgraded to wordpress 2.9 and updated to a very nice theme.  So far, I like it.  But I can always go back if needed.  Love it? Hate it?

Part of the previous photo set, Sydney was just happy as hell playing on the floor in front of the christmas tree.

Yup, this year is the first year Jamie and I have spent with our little bundle of joy. She is getting old enough to appreciate the lights, the wrapping and seems to have fun doing it too. Jamie and I sat down to do some photo’s with the three of us, and Sydney decided that she was happy by herself….then we gave her a present, even more happy to play with something…

cuuuute!

With her hands being more and more useful and she starting to play with toys, she is having a lot more time on the floor playing. Caught her here trying to eat her toys…which at this age, is okay.

Althought the Grey Cup didnt turn out so well for the Roughriders (its only football…get over it), Sydney did her own cheering. Family friend Jackie bought this jacket for Sydney in Regina and it fit her perfectly!

With the whole ‘growing’ thing going on WAY too fast, her hands have been her newest entertainment. As you can see between her hand gestures and her facial expressions she is quite the kid!

Jamie and I were out at a function on the weekend. Grandma Marsh was watching Sydney. When we got home, she was so tired she stayed sleeping the entire time. Black and White version here

I have been told that I am not helping very much in giving hints about what to get me for christmas. So I am going to put together a list of things that I would like.

1. Spyder 3 Express. Its a peice that will let me calibrate my monitors, photo’s and printed pictures. Its available at Amazon.com, and Dons Photo that I know of. Very Sweet!

2. Wacom Bambo Pen. Its a tablet that I can use to edit pictures better. Its available from Amazon.com and Dons Photo.

3. Shirts. Seriously. Long sleeve, nice shirts. I love em. Cant have too many.

4. This really isnt a want, its a NOT-want. Socks. Seriously, I have tooo many, which is my own fault because I bought too many. But please..no socks.

5. Lowepro Transporter camera strap. I have been in need of one for a while. This seems to be the best that I can find. Its available from Amazon.com and Dons Photo (no link sorry).

6. Cider. The syrup stuff. Any kind. It’s awesome stuff!

Thats all I have thus far. I will add to this as I think of things.

Chow!
