Syd The Kid

I was missing my niece, Sydney yesterday morning. I called my sister, Kris, but again Skype was awful. Neither did I get to speak to my sister for long, nor did I get to speak with Sydney. Sydney may not have been too interested anyway. It seems, she was watching baby videos of herself because she is excited about a new sibling on the way. Kris is due in about three weeks.

I had written a letter to Sydney, but the mail has taken a long time. I sent the letter almost a month ago because she sent me a letter with a nice crayon drawing last month. The mail is strange because it seems like a package will move much faster than an actual letter. For example, I sent out several post cards at the same time as the letter, and no one has received them. However, I ordered some books from Amazon.com and they arrived within 5 days! Maybe my letters were blown up by an IED somewhere in transit. I sent another post card today, and Kris said she would let me know when it arrives so I can figure out how long it takes.

Anyway, Sydney is a lot of fun. She gets crazy when I go to Kris and Don's house. It's really great when a child is so happy to see you (Sydney is 8). It's even nicer because I don't have a family of my own.

Watch out though, because Sydney has BATS IN THE CAVE!! Gross!
