Sydney did most of the ornament hanging this year.


Sydney enjoys playing on the playground equipment at our local Santa Ana Zoo.


Sydney arrived in our living room looking like Siouxsie Sioux and announced that she was "ready for her next birthday." If any way knows what this code means, please contact us.

Sydney and her next-door neighbor Elsa enjoy some juice at Dad's graduation party in June.


Sydney had her first pony ride at the Kidfest portion of the Orange International Street Fair on Memorial Day weekend. We think she liked it, but it's hard to tell.


Sydney spent some time at Arrowbear this summer. It is hard to be both warm and stylish (anyone want to guess who her favorite Disney character is?).

Sydney loves the Cheer Bear she got for her birthday.


Sydney enjoys her birthday cake.

Sydney liked meeting Chuck E. at her birthday party. October birthdays are cool because you can dress like a princess!!!!

Sierra is toasty at the Sachs Daugherty cabin which we visited with Gene Martin and his (now) fiancee Collette in early 2004.

Sierra was the happiest lion ever. This picture from Chuck E. Cheese's on Sydney's birthday.


Just try to get that out of her  hands!!

Some of Sierra's Earliest steps in early September 2004. She hasn't sat down since.


More fun at "My Gym."


Sierra likes hiking - and she hardly gets tired at all.
