Pucon
After spending the night and the morning at the falls, we headed down to Pucon for 2 nights. We had a wonderful time exploring the town, driving around the countryside and sightseeing.
View from cabana-
Hiking to the base of the volcano. It was smoking while we were there!
We also went and played at the black sand beach. Penny had a blast!
Before heading to Pucon, while we were packing the car up there was a man and horse working, and Penny was lucky enough to get to hang out with the horse. She really loves animals, just like her mom!
More to come from Pucon!

Penny and I had a wonderful time with our family in Maine. I don’t have time to upload all the pics, but here are some my parents took. More to come!
Day Trippin’ to Philly
Last Thurday, Lisa, Penny, and I heading down to the Philly area to visit Alan, Janet, Ella, and Nate. Lisa had just spent over a week with them at the end of July, but I really wanted to get down there and see the whole family, especially since I hadn’t had a chance to meet Nate until then. We had a great day with the MacDonalds. We went out to lunch (cheesesteaks!) and dessert (Maggie Moo’s!!), and all played outside their wonderful new home. It was a shame that I could only see them for an afternoon, but when you live so far away, you take what you can get! There are also more pics over at their blog.
Pretty rainbow
On the ride home from Philly, Penny got to see her first rainbow.
So, I couldn’t figure out
how to shrink my photos down (and I took too many to post), I created my own picassa page. Here are some of the many pics I took from our trip to Philly. We had a wonderful time seeing everyone, and already miss them all! Penny especially misses Nate and Ella! We love you guys! Thanks for a wonderful visit!

Last weekend we (along with Rikki, Chris and Jack) rented a cabana in the Elqui Valley. We stayed in a beautiful cabana on the river and enjoyed sunny warm days and cool nights. Originally we planned to go camping but a cold front came through so we decided to stay at Casa Piedra (Stone House) instead. We all had a great time relaxing and playing with the kids. It was a perfect weekend! (I only have my photos, so I’ll add Steve’s later.)
Over the ocean and across the country…
to Grams and Grandpa Tom’s we go.
Penelope aced another intercontinental journey from Chile to the US. It was a pretty exciting time at the airport. TWO big earthquakes were felt from nearby Valparaiso (6.2 and 6.0 magnitude!!) and Penelope loved her first time in a high chair.
Once here in Connecticut, we’ve been settling in around the Christmas tree. Penelope already has her eye on some presents with her name on them.
Of course, she is already getting in some good time with Grams and Grandpa Tom.
Why the winter hat? BECAUSE IT IS COLD AND SNOWY AND NOT THE SUMMER WE LEFT BEHIND. We were hoping for a white Christmas, but weren’t expecting the foot of snow we may get tonight!
PJ, super-cute, jet-setting, world traveler.
Not everyone gets to travel from continent to continent, and certainly not before their 3rd month!! But then again, Penelope isn’t just an ordinary little girl.
Lucky for us and the people around us, she has been a wonderful traveler, mostly sleeping throughout the journey. I think she did better than Lisa and I on the overnight flight from Santiago.
Penelope’s first flight!
So exciting!!
Bored waiting at the gate…
Riding the train at DFW. Wheeee…

Puttin’ on the Ritz*
Penelope (thanks to her mother) has already developed a taste for the fancier things in life. So when we had to travel to Santiago recently for Penelope’s embassy related things, we stayed at the Ritz-Carlton in the Los Condes area. It was pretty fancy-pants and Penelope thinks so too.
Penelope thinks the bed is just about the right size for her. Maybe needs a few more pillows.
Of course, we did go to Santiago to visit the embassy to register Penelope’s birth and apply for her passport. Things went well and we should be getting her passport very soon!
