July 4th fun part 1
On the 4th, after a nice birthday chat with Grams, we packed up and headed to Chattanooga, TN. Â Due to the inclement weather, we weren’t sure what we would be doing, but we were hoping for some fun. Â First stop, The Creative Discovery Museum. Â Best children’s museum!!!

Rainy day fun
This morning we awoke to the sound of rain, music to our ears. Â Penny, Teddy and Steve were excited to get out and run around in the rain which they did in their pajamas. Â Then Penny used Teddy’s birthday gift for the first time, spin art, big hit all around!! This afternoon Grandma and Grandpa took Penny to the movies to see Despicable Me 2. Â Rainy days are fun!!
Babyland General Hospital
Today we went to the birthplace of the Cabbage Patch Kid.  The have built a hospital that you can visit.  Penny and Teddy were in heaven, I on the other hand felt a little like I was in a freaky dream.  The staff was dressed as nurses and doctors, babies were being born every hour, there was a nursery, and there were cabbage patch kids everywhere.  Thousands of them, it was crazy!!!!
Teddy found the life size cabbage patch lady a little odd-
Penny and a nurse holding a premie doll-
This beauty was walking around all day shaking hands-
Penny found a doll wearing the exact dress she was wearing. Â She only cost $300, we told Penny she was not up for adoption
Teddy loved taking care of the babies
It’s time for a birth-
A healthy girl, she went to the nursery to get cleaned up-
Time for the baby to meet potential adoptive parents-
Cool artwork-
And who was the lucky baby that Penny adopted? Â I am pleased to announce that Florence Jaidyn born on July 2 has joined the Margheim family. Â They asked Penny if she wanted to change the baby’s name, but she was happy with it!
Summer Days
The kids are having a fun time in the summer sun. Â After a yummy breakfast, we took the kids to a nearby park with a fantastic playground. Â Penny quickly made friends while Teddy explored and hit the slides. Â Later in the day, after getting a new helmet and a quick lunch trip, Penny hit the road in her new scooter Lisa gave her for her birthday. Â We also played with water balloons out in the front yard in the late afternoon. Â SUMMER FUN!
Aquarium!!
Happy 5th birthday to the one and only Penelope Jean Margheim!!! Penny has been talking for months about celebrating her birthday with Grandma and Grandpa at the Atlanta aquarium and seeing the dolphin show. Â Though after spending the day at the aquarium it’s harder to say who was more excited, Penny or Teddy. Â What a perfect way to spend the day!!! Â Love you sweetheart!!!
