Our little princesses were captured beautifully in these pictures by our friend Amanda a few weeks ago. She photographed during the girls' playtime and the smiles were abundant (see flickr). Sydney and Abigail haven't felt like princesses this week as they have battled their first ear infections. Dr. Mallard said Abigail has a double ear infection and Sydney has the beginnings of an infection in one of her ears. The antibiotics should be working their magic now, and we hope life will be back to normal for the coming week.
