Loves to Pose

Sydney loves to pose for the camera. Nine out of ten shots still have her cheesy fake smile since she was 4 but we are making progress. I kind of have to trick her into a real smile. She's got the posing part down but we still need to work on smiles. It seems like the more I try to help her smile naturally the more fake it gets. Here she is before dance tonight. Nice mud on the tap shoes.

Today we had lunch with her friend Angel and my friend Cindy(Angel's mom) . We are very close and try to catch up at least once a week. I didn't take any pictures today or I would show you how pretty Angel is. I have gotten habitually bad about not taking my camera along. We went to Chick-fil-a, a favorite of mine and the kids played.

Buddy is my 11 year old Maine Coon cat. We have had him for 10 of his 11 years and he is a really good cat but was in a kennel for the first year and isn't very sociable. He is very nosey though. Any time we have guests he wants to come look at them but doesn't want to be petted. He is also very scared of our Shih-Tsu. You would think by the looks of him that he isn't afraid of anything. Oh well, we love him a lot and hope he is around for a very long time.
