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. |

One of our favorite portraits of Sydney - after facepainting at the
Santa Fe Children's Museum.

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!!!!

Sisters (at Sydney's b-day party). |

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

Sierra enjoys a swing @ "My Gym" in honor of a friends birthday.

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.

One of our favorite portraits of Sierra, from the train at Santa Ana
Zoo, September 2004. |

Sydney's first ever ride on a carousel!

Sydney catches some "snowflakes" on her tongue at Disneyland December

honor of Pop-pop's ___ birthday. |

Sydney's second ride on a carousel!

The Durands were lucky to have a chance to meet Mickey on the set of
Steamboat Willy. Sydney enjoyed it more than it looks like from this
picture. |

Enjoying the train ride at the Santa Ana Zoo. |

A walk with the Robertson cousins in Idyllwild. |

Woo hoo!! |

Jennings saga. |
