Here are a couple of crappy videos of our little munchkin crawling. Why are they crappy? The only video camera we have is the one on my cell phone. Anyway, Sydney's pretty cute so enjoy.

Good News & Bad News
Well the good news is that we have an upcoming long weekend to celebrate Hari Raya - the end of the Muslim month of fasting Ramadan. We are taking Sydney to Mulu about a 1/2 hour flight from Miri & visiting the caves & rain forest. We are staying here at the Royal Mulu Resort - we hope to have photos to post but have to find a camera to borrow - which brings me to the bad news (http://www.mulurainforestresort.com/home.htm).
Tuesday night we went to sleep like any other night. Roslin had watched Sydney so we could go to dinner with friends so she & her daughter Emily stayed the night in our amah's quarters. We woke to find out that we had been robbed. In the middle of the night. While we slept.
They broke in throught a downstairs window & helped themselves to my macbook, Kenny's personal computer, his work computer, my video camera, 2 digital cameras, my ipod, a fair amount of cash, some diamond earrings & my watch. They rifled through every piece of furniture in every room, including Sydneys. Luckily she still sleeps with us! They opened our bedroom door but must have seen the tv on & decided not to enter. The dogs were sleeping with us & must have slept through it as well.
Sad thing is that the alarm beeped when the window was broken but we turned it off thinking it was Roslin leaving. Also sad is that we hadn't gotten around to getting renters insurance yet.
Needless to say we now have insurance & will slowly but surely replace our lovely things we had worked so hard for. We have also tweaked our alarm to make it much more sensitive & will know if anyone breaks in again.
Good news is that I am the proud owner of a new MacBook so I can keep up with the world & Skype again. :) I miss Black Sabbath but am sure this new one that I have yet to name & I will become close as well.
Toodles & remember the lesson to my story - get insurance BEFORE you need it. We are kicking ourselves.

Hellooo!
Hmm.
So at this time Sydo is 7 months & is eating like a champ (avocado, bananas & chicken with peas & basil & garlic are her favorites). She is sitting up by herself & learning to crawl - right now she is doing the belly drag but man is she fast! She is pulling up on anything she can get her hands on, including mommy & daddy when they are laying down. She is babababa & mamama & dadadadaing & it is music to our ears.

Sydney & I survived a 30 plus hour trip from Miri to Kuala Lumpur, KL to Singapore, Singapore to Moscow & finally Moscow to Houston. We stayed with my folks for a couple weeks including a trip to Ft. Worth until Kenny arrived - then we had a week at his moms house followed by a weekend in Austin & a couple days at Julia & Brians.
Sydney had a great time on our trip home - her first time to Houston & other towns in Texas. It was a whirl wind tour & she met a slew of family & friends. She ate her first rice cereal in preparations for Whataburger & Mexican food on her next visit. There are over 200 images I am uploading to Shutterfly now & I will post the link when they are ready. Until then here are a few!Sydney & I survived a 30 plus hour trip from Miri to Kuala Lumpur, KL to Singapore, Singapore to Moscow & finally Moscow to Houston.
