New Friends

As many of you know, the life here in La Serena is always changing.  We’ve posted many times about our friends leaving, but today we wanted to introduce you to some new friends.  Sandra and Jeff moved here at the end of December and we are happy to have them in our lives!  We spent the day together awhile ago and can’t wait for all the adventures we will share together!  Welcome to Chile guys!!

We went to Astroday-

More park photos

We try to go to the park as much as possible.  Penny loves going and playing with her friends and Leyna loves to go and play with the frisbees.  We went yesterday, and I was amazed to see how big Penny is getting.  She is interacting more and more with the other kids, she’s able to climb the jungle gym all by herself and is learning to throw the frisbee to Leyna.

Yum!!

Penny helped me do the shopping this week.  On Monday we went to the fish market and Penny helped me pick out some fresh Reineta and then today went to La Feria for our fruit and veggies.  Penny is now enjoying a dinner of fresh fish, broccoli and spinach pasta with homemade pesto.  The only thing not fresh is the pasta!  Fresh food is the best!

Water baby!!

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!
