is go to the market with Penny.  They had a wonderful time picking out the fruit and veggies together, and then got to enjoy some fresh cream of broccoli soup.  Grandpa Tom also got to give Penny a bath, what is better than that?!

We are all so excited that Grandpa Tom made it here yesterday.  He will be visiting us for almost 3 weeks, and Penny is so happy to get to spend so much time with Pa Tom.  Grandpa Tom came at the perfect time, since Steve had to go up to the mountain yesterday for 4 days.  Luckily for us, a big storm has moved in, flooding La Serena and dumping a ton of snow at the observatory.   So much snow that Steve was evacuated from the mountain this morning, and got to come home!  Keep looking for new posts, we will have plenty to share with you!
