Penny is having a great time with Grandpa Tom. Â On Saturday after Penny’s nap we headed down to the beach for some fun. Â Penny and Grandpa Tom had fun running around on the beach, watching the waves, building sand castles and playing with Leyna. Â We then headed over to El Grifo where Grandpa Tom and I had coffee while Penny played on the equipment. Â What a great afternoon!!








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





Penny was very excited to help Grams in the garden. Â Grams brought Aunt Karin a horseradish plant cutting from the plant in their yard. Â It was given to Grams by her dad when Grams and Grandpa Tom first moved into their house. Â Too bad Grams can’t bring some down to Chile for us 🙂



It’s amazing how much PEnny seems to have advanced this past week and a half. Â She’s really starting to talk and follow directions. Â Penny had a ton of fun playing with Grandpa Tom and can’t wait for August to play some more! Â Penny loves her Grandpa Tom!
