Gardener's Crack

Plumbers aren't the only ones to show a lot of crack. Gardners can too...

Happy 1st Birthday Penelope!

I can't believe it was a year ago that our Lil P joined our family. She is such a loving happy baby and our lives are better for her being a part of it. We love our baby girl and can't wait to see the little person she is becoming. We celebrated her birthday by going to the doctors and getting 2 shots (she did great). She is still a peanut but is short so her weight is appropriate for her height! She just barely hit 19lbs (and I STUFFED her with food before she went...so really I cheated and she is probably high 18lbs). We did a bit of shopping and then Grammy Kelsa and Grampa Jack came over for pizza and cupcakes. She got a few little presents today, her favorite being her monkey snuggler and a plastic doll (that was originally for Georgia to open). This girls LOVES babies!

We got her pizza...her favorite!

How big is Penelope...SO big!

A Visitor

Grammy Dianne came out from Arizona for a visit. We had a great weekend filled with gorgeous weather and many playground trips. We took Grammy for a traditional New England seafood dinner at Woodman's. We had a great time. Penelope was very entertained by the crayons we brought for her sister. She loves to scribble! Unfortunately, I was bad about pictures but will hopefully soon add some of the ones that Grammy Dianne took while she was here.

Chocolate Chip Pudding

We made a perennial Camp Huckins' favorite for dessert...chocolate chip pudding. Everyone enjoyed...including a relaxed Penelope...feet on the table and all!

Picnic Lunch

Georgia had a great day to have an indoor picnic on an otherwise dreary and rainy day. We had a great time setting up in the livingroom to enjoy our lunch.

Baby Schlitt

Auntie Em and Uncle Erich are having a baby! Baby Boy Schlitt is due to arrive on their 1st anniversary in mid-June. We are so excited and had a great time at her shower. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of the mama-to-be as I was busy being the hostest with the mostest!

Welcome Back!

We are excited to announce we have welcomed DAIRY back into our life! Penelope had a cow's milk protein and soy protein allergy and we were told that once she was a year we could try introducing it back into her diet. Since I am nursing, I started at about 10.5 months to slowly incorporate it into my diet and she did great. Now she is eating small amounts of cheese and yogurt. She LOVES macaroni and cheese...who doesn't??? Oh that is right...the picky 3 year old!
