Water baby!!

February 1st, 2010

Penny is following in her mom and dad’s footsteps, and loves swimming.  She is able to swim with the floaties all by herself.  She kicks her legs and moves her hands and can swim!  She also like to put her face in the water and blow bubbles and likes to climb in and out of the pool on the ladder.  Yesterday we practiced jumping in, she did it a few times, but seemed to prefer using the ladder.  We can’t wait to go again soon!

YAY, Daddy’s home!

May 27th, 2009

On Monday, Penelope put on a pretty dress and got ready to go pick up Steve at the airport.  I tried to get a good picture of her before we left, but as she’s gotten older it is harder for her to stay still for a photo.  The below are the best ones-

While Penny was taking a nap, Steve and I went out for a nice lunch and did a little birthday shopping for Pen.  We ended up giving her an early birthday gift, she has to wait until her birthday to get the rest!

Penny Hill Goes Sledding!

January 1st, 2009
Just as the snow from the last storm was melting away, we got another 5-6 inches on Wednesday and Lisa dragged us all out to play.

Hard to tell if this is excitement or terror

At home with the Foley Family Players

December 24th, 2008

There is always music in the air at the Foley house, and this Christmas has been no exception.  When holiday music isn’t being played over the stereo, the Foley’s are busy making music themselves.  Grams has been playing the violin for 2.5 years, and Grandpa Tom has more recently picked up the viola, which has been Karin’s instrument for many, many years.

Here are some pictures of Karin and Bernadette serenading the family:

All that music puts Penelope into a great mood.

Penelope is becoming more and more expressive every day. She loves her changing table and is always smiling and babbling up a storm. Here’s a video of her from the other day.

Sleeping Beauty

Penelope doesn’t do much but sleep most of the day, save for some eating now and then.  However, even when she is sleeping, she is still super cute.  Enjoy the following video of our sleeping beauty.  Yes, I’m posting a 30s video of a sleeping baby.  Riveting!!*
