A year of Penelope

This past year has been the best of my life.  Penelope has enriched our lives so much it’s hard to imagine a life without her.  I never knew I could love someone as much as I love her.  I love being a mom and I can’t wait to see what this next year brings!

Happy Birthday Penelope!!  Yesterday was Penny’s first birthday and we had a wonderful time celebrating it with Grandma and Grandpa.  Penny woke up, opened a few presents played and then we spent the afternoon in the valley.  We went to our favorite restaurant, Los Hornitos del Molle, then off to the zoo.  Came home around 5 took Leyna to the park and then had cake and cookies, opened more presents, and skyped with Grams, Grandpa Tom, Aunt Pat and Uncle Bob.  Penny had a wonderful birthday and was so exhausted we didn’t hear a peep from her until 745 this morning!  Happy birthday beautiful princess Penelope!!!

Grandma and Grandpa are here!

Grandma and Grandpa arrived safe and sound on Friday morning for a visit.  Penny is very happy they’re here and we’ve been keeping them busy.  We spent Friday afternoon downtown getting ready for Veronica’s going away party on Saturday.  Spent the morning setting up for the party, the afternoon at the party and then after Penny went to bed, Steve and I went and played poker (and won)!  On Sunday we had Jona’s first birthday party.  Today (Monday) is a holiday here so we’re planning on going to the mall and then playing some frisbee golf.  Here are some pics from the lat few days-

 

At the airport- here they come!!
