Super Holiday Happy Time

On July 16, 2008 by Steve With 0 Comments - Beach, Grandparents, PJ

Penelope has really been enjoying having her grandparents around, maybe even more than Lisa and I. Â We all enjoyed watching the All-Star game on Tuesday night. Â The Foley’s have been getting Penelope into baseball already.Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â

(Go Yankees!)

As you may have heard, the game was a long one and Penelope had a bit of trouble staying up.

Did I mention it was a really, really long game? 15 innings!

(Like father, like daughter.)

Wednesday was a holiday here in Chile, Dia del Virgen de Carmen. Â So after sleeping in, we had a big day together. Â Grams and Steve took Leyna to the park in the morning. Â Then Lisa and Steve gave Penelope a bath. Â

Then, the six of us went to the beach. Â Penelope really enjoyed her first trip to the beach, all snuggled in with Dad. Â

Penelope’s Grandparents, Tom and Bernadette, arrived from Connecticut today for a nice visit for the next few weeks.

Obligatory Pisco Sours at the beach.

That Pisco really knocks a baby out!

Penelope’s Second Week!

On July 13, 2008 by Steve With 0 Comments - PJ

Penelope is two weeks old on Monday, and she has had a very busy second week at home. Â

First, Penelope has continued to receive many visits from our friends. It has been very nice to see everybody and, of course, they love to see our little princess.

We’ve also continued going for walks around the recinto , and have even been taking Leyna to the park to play frisbee.

Penelope also had her first proper bath at home. Â I’m not sure it was her favorite moment.

(Scrub-a-dub)

(The Horror!)

Penelope also had some belly time in her crazy ocean playpen thingy. Â She seems to really enjoy playing with it. Â I’m sure it has a proper name, but for now it’s crazy ocean playpen thingy.

(Who is that cutie? Â Oh, it’s ME!)

Penelope’s First Weekend

On July 7, 2008 by Steve With 0 Comments - PJ

Penelope had a wonderful first weekend, mostly resting with her parents and being cute. Things have been pretty easy for us, especially given the help from our friends. Even though our families are far away, we have such a wonderful group of friends that we feel like we have a very large extended family. Everyoneâ€™s been so excited for Penelope, and we have continued to show her off to our visitors. They have also been cooking us dinner nearly everyday, so we havenâ€™t had to cook since Penelope was born! What great friends!
