Take Me Out to the Ballpark
Sydney, Australia 2009
Scott and I were very fortunate to be able to travel to Sydney, Australia last fall over Thanksgiving. We were gone for 10 days and it was a long flight (14 hours from LA!) but the trip was amazing. It's a huge city so luckily we were able to walk or take a ferry everywhere from our hotel. (I now love ferries and wish I could ride one everywhere I go!) There was a heatwave while we were there too so even though it was late spring, the temps were between 85-100 degrees almost every day. We spent a lot of time at Manly beach. My favorite part of the trip was climbing the Sydney Harbor Bridge. You can't beat the view from the top, even on a windy day like we had. Plus the Aussies have such a laid back attitude. All week we heard "no worries" and that's exactly how we felt. I had so much fun I often forgot to take pictures. Most of my pics were taken on the 1 overcast day and don't really do the city justice. Sydney has beautiful beaches, awesome food, and it truly was a once in a lifetime experience.

Spotlight on Sam
Sam's school, East Oakview, held it's 1st/2nd grade Winter music concert on 2/26/09. She was really excited even though she didn't get a solo. (She was a speaker and director last year. What can we say? The girl loves to perform!) Luckily Sam was picked for the front row and she did not disappoint. She must get that showmanship from her dad because I would have been terrified at her age. Great songs again, especially Yodelady, which was a surprise and hilarious. We are so proud of you Sam! Awesome Job!

Daddy/Daughter Dance
What a great way to celebrate Valentine's Day a little early! On Fri. 2/13/09 Northview held it's annual daddy/daughter dance. Scott took Sam and Carly out to dinner before heading to the middle school to boogie. (what an awesome dad after a long week at work) The girls looked beautiful in their matching red dresses. And no - it wasn't my idea. They ended up liking the same dress and were happy to be "twins" for the evening. I painted their nails and since it was time for haircuts, they also got fancy, shmancy hair as well. Ooh-la-la! Happy Valentine's Day!
