Time Keeps on Slippin' into the Future

So our little munchkin keeps on growing and keeping us busy, and I'm just plain bad at regularly updating this thing.

Since I last posted here, Penny has celebrated Christmas with Mommy and Daddy here in Boston,

gone back to Michigan and Indiana to see family,

gotten baptized,

celebrated Christmas with the Himes family,

with the Mullenix family,

and the Yoder family.

She liked playing with her cousins.

Back home, she got to play in our only snow of the winter.

She also practiced her painting.

Then, in February, she celebrated her first birthday with a delicious blueberry cake with lemon curd filling made by her mommy.

Yup, she keeps growing and growing,

 and trying new hairdos,

 and loves to read

and climb on things.

Walking is the newest trick she's learning.  Hopefully, it won't take me as long to update this again, and they won't be so long.
