Sydney’s first halloween was spooktacular. In her inaugural year, she appropriatley donned her Daddy’s favorite color and took on the competition at “Mommy & Me’s” halloween costume party as a pumpkin. She couldn’t have been more adorable. She’s finally growing into some of her other clothes too, that have been lying in wait in the closet. Most noteably, she’s starting to fit into two piece outfits in which looks just fabulous. She recently had her 3 month birthday. Click on the link below (right click & open in new window) for some pics from the past month & some pics from our trip to the Iowa-Wisconsin game at Kinnick.
On a side note, I took some pictures of the backyard but probably won’t include those because they aren’t that intersting.

We’re back. And a busy month, it has been. We just wanted to let you know what’s been going on with us the last few weeks & this summer.
We’ve updated pics of Sydney & separated them into Hospital, Home, & First Photo Shoot (thanks to Grandpa & Grandma Silber for setting up a mock studio in Syd’s room). See the link on her birth announcement below for the hospital album (which includes some pics of her brief bout with jaundice) or go to the gallery using the link to the right. Further albums of her will follow.
Also, we’ve neglected to make news, some other important happenings this summer. They are as follows:
First: Congratulations to Colby White, Victoria Silber, Lucy Reese, & Josh Koeppel for graduating from the Universiy of Iowa and Iowa City High back in the spring. Go to the gallery to see pics of those special events.
Second: Iowa State Fair time has come & gone, but there are no shortages of memories. Congratulations to Leigh Lussie (friend of Grandma White) for receiving a first place ribbon and Judge’s Award for her beautiful handmade quilt. Leigh annually enters magnificent quilts in the state fair competition. Congratulations Leigh! Here’s a link to the state fair album and a preview of “The Quilt”.
Third: We took a fun-filled trip to one of Des Moines’ premiere attractions, Living History Farms, with Rachel’s sister, Kate, and aunt & uncle, Hillary & Peter, just one week prior to Sydney’s arrival. I was the only one that had been there (I believe) and everyone had a great time. See the album in the gallery for pictures.
Fourth: What August would be complete without the Fair.. and my birthday, of course! This year, Rachel opened her bag of tricks and threw me a surprise party at one of my favorite places, Chuck-E-Cheese. Thanks, Hon, it was a great surprise. See the album in the gallery for pictures.
And last, but not least, thank you to everyone for all of your genuine concern for our well being over the last month. We appreciate everyone’s support and hope you enjoy this site & use it to keep in touch. Please let us know if you have any news you would like us to share with friends & family and don’t forget to leave us comments on our posts for all to read (mrt@iowawhites.com). Also, as noted above, it’s easiest if you right click on the gallery link to the right and “Open In New Window” so you still have this web page open and you won’t have to “Go Back” 100 times to get back here.

(An announcement in the spirit of her, soon to be, favorite author)
And the people came shouting,
“What’s this all about…?”
They looked! And they stared
with their eyes popping out!
“My goodness! My gracious!”
they shouted. “MY WORD!
It’s something brand new!
IT’S AN ELEPHANT-BIRD!”
(~Horton Hatches The Egg)
Well, not quite, but she does look like her mom, who’s been faithfull 100%. And it paid off!
At 2:04 p.m. on the 13th of August, 2006,
let it be known Sydney Margaret White emerged with some kicks.
Shiny and gooey and oh, what a sight!
She screamed & she squirmed to her parents’ delight.
Nine months in the waiting through many a trip
to the doctor for inspections of her loving “mother ship”.
She grew and she grew and she grew, grew, grew, grew
Out 7 lbs 13 ounces, 21 inches, and blue.
Three weeks early and nary a frown
she’s solid, good natured, sporting long toes and down.
All your gifts, warm wishes, and prayers, thanks to all
please view all the pictures and leave comments or call.
Be sure when you step
Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life’s
a Great Balancing Act.
And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, (yes) indeed!
(98 and ¾ percent guaranteed.)
