Our Penny Girl

July 2010
Penny has found 2 new favorite places to relax.

She loves to rest on my basket on this blanket.  And she really loves when I open the window.

She also loves to lay on the back of the sofa.  She has fallen off a few times...but that hasn't stopped her.  And as you can see, she likes to stick out her tongue! :)

Fourth of July

July 4, 2010
This year we spent the Fourth of July hanging out at home with the neighbors.  We had a great time!  Later that night we popped fireworks.

If one has a hat, they all have to have one!  Good thing Maw Maw and Paw Paw have plenty of hats for their grandchildren!

Daddy Is Very Proud

Today when Lily and I checked the mail, we had received a package.  Lily immediately asked if it was for her and I told that is was for daddy.  She couldn't wait to get home to tell her daddy that we had a box for him.  When we got home, Billy was in the backyard mowing.  She screamed loud enough to get his attention.  He asked her what she needed.  This is how the conversation went:

Lily:  Daddy, we got a box in the mail today and it's for you.
Billy:  How do you know it's for me?
Lily:  Because it says D A D D Y!

Yes, she spelled out Daddy!  He was so proud!  And, I was very proud of my girl...but, why did I teach her Daddy before Mama?? Guess I will be working on that one next! :)

Happy First Birthday, Penny!

June 18, 2010
Today was our sweet Penny's first birthday.  Her presents were a new rubber ball and a package of bagel raw hides.  I think she was very pleased with both.


Roller Skating

For Lily's 4th birthday, she received roller skates from NaNa and PaPa Joe.  Well, we are just now letting her try them out.  We first started her out in the house on the carpet.  But of course she insisted that she knew how to skate and wanted to move on to bigger and better skating surfaces.  We cleared out the garage and let her go.  She did do very well.  No big crashes!  She enjoyed it very much and can't wait to do it again.
