Memorial Day BBQ

On Memorial Day we headed to Sheila and Mike's house to have a BBQ and to meet their new puppy, Kiera. She was so fun, Sydney didn't really know what to think of the puppy running around and making noises, and Kiera was not too sure about the noises Sydney was making, it was pretty funny.

Visit to MN and WI - Sydney's Baptism

Al, Sydney and I headed to MN on May 14th. We had a great time and we were able to see a lot of people. It was Sydney's first plane ride and she did great, she slept for take off and then she woke up and ate a little, played and then went back to sleep. We woke her for landing so we could feed her and make sure her ears wouldn't hurt, but she is a born flyer!

Right away we had to compare Sydney to her cousin Caden who is a month older, as you can see Caden is bigger, but not by much, Sydney will catch up soon!

Sydney got to finally meet her Auntie Jessie, Uncle Glenn, Cousins Chase and Caden, Uncle Derek and Auntie Melanie.

Grandpa bought both babies some PJ's from Alaska, they have bears on them, so we had to have them both in them for a picture!

Wednesday - Friday
On Wednesday we headed to WI for Al's Grandpa's funeral. This was not planned so we extended our tickets through Saturday and rented a car and drove to WI for the funeral. It was very sad to see Al's Grandpa go, but he is now with Grandma and happy. This was a good opportunity for Sydney to meet the rest of her Kerkman Uncles and her Grandpa. It was nice to be able to see all of Al's cousins and family while we were in WI and Sydney loved meeting everyone.
Here is Sydney with her Uncle Aaron, Daddy, Uncle Andy and Grandpa Kerkman. You can't see it but she is wearing her "Daddy's Co-Pilot" shirt.

This was a great trip to MN and WI for Sydney, she had her first airplane ride, her first road trip, her first stay at a hotel, she got to meet all of her Aunties and Uncles, she was baptized and also got to meet a lot of my friends and family. Sydney can't wait to get back to MN, we just don't know when that will be.

Mother's Day and Auntie Andrea and Uncle Mike's Visit

Andrea and Mike were able to come out and visit us, and to meet Sydney, for a quick weekend. We had a great time. We spent Saturday in Berkeley and then just hung out at home that night.

On Sunday we had a great breakfast and then we headed to Treasure Island to walk around. We had great views of San Francisco and of the Bridge. It was so beautiful out. As you can see Sydney had a great time being carried by Dad!
