Sydney meets Great Gram D

My dad flew his mom (Gram D) out from Arizona to San Diego for a week right after Christmas so she could meet Sydney and see Joseph again.  The great grand-kids LOVED her which doesn't surprise me - she raised 5 kids so she is a pro!

Sydney's Baptism

We were fortunate to have Sydney baptized while we were in San Diego so both of our families could attend!  She was baptized on December 29th (Poppa's Birthday!) at North Island Naval Base Chapel.

After the baptism, we headed over to Village Pizzeria in Coronado to celebrate!

I'm never going to be able to watch J!  I let him crawl on the floor for a second and he picked up
 an old crouton and ate it! He looks happy to me :)

Sydney meets Mimi & Jawgie

On December 26th, Dave, Sydney and I drove down to Shelter Island in San Diego to spend the week with the Ozeck family who flew in from Florida and New Jersey!  This was Sydney's first time meeting everyone (except for Uncle Mark who she met in October).  

Mimi, Sydney and Jawg!

Sydney got fussy one evening so Jawg put her on top of the fridge - she LOVED it!!!
