Coupons

I walked into the kitchen during a break from working on my dissertation and tripped over this hilarious scene. Sydney was sorting coupons...just like her Daddy.

Visit from the McGarrah Sharps

We capped off spring break with what will most likely be our final visit in IN from our good friends who live in Nashville but are headed to Tulsa. Sydney loved having Lucy Claire and James Henry here and ultimately helped shake off the sadness surrounding their departure by sporting Joshua's shoes with her St. Patty's day vest - quite the fashion statement.

Spring Break

We went to NY for a house hunting trip during Spring Break. Sydney's Nana and Papa made the trip to LI for a visit. I was going to make a joke about taking a picture of Joshua and Sydney outside our new house...which is actually a mansion on LI. We celebrated St. Patrick's Day while we were there and Sydney's Grandma was a big help when we went on our marathon house hunting trip to New Paltz.

Please...

Sydney has definitely become more verbal in the last couple of months. We do our best to insist that she say "please" when she wants something...somehow she decided that shrugging her shoulders and looking really cute makes it that much more effective. Note: Yes, that is Vanilla Ice playing in the background.

House

We did manage to sell our house in record time which was a huge relief after working hard to stage it as much as possible. Here are some before and after shots of the kitchen and the living room and an after shot of the family room in the basement.

Birthday

Sydney got all dressed up for Joshua's birthday. She also enjoyed the first use of the popcorn maker Joshua got me for Valentine's Day (see video below).

Getting Back on the Blog

We are going to try to post some pictures of Sydney. All I will say as an explanation for the hiatus is the following: I got a job! We sold our house! We are looking at a house in NY! We are preparing for the arrival of a new little Munz sometime around May 20th! And I am trying to get as much of my dissertation finished as possible before the new baby graces us with his/her presence!

Sydney's Nana and Papa sent some tunnel fun to help her burn off some energy during the winter months. Sydney also likes to dress up in her sequin skirt and awesome lady bug rain boots!
