Penelope's Purse

I bought Penny a little bag last week and although she hasn't started carrying it around yet, she's put some items in it:

She did this all on her own.... a girl's got to be prepared! :)

...and standing up on her own too!


That sweet, sheepish smile at :09.... warms my heart.

We're Having Lots of Fun with Aunt Jen

Evening Walk with Daddy

On our way to dinner on Friday evening:

Friday Hi

This is an extra special Friday Hi because Aunt Jen is in town!


Helps make up for missing last week's, especially with it being Gabe's birthday and all (sorry hon).

Looking forward to a fun weekend with my sis and posting lots of pictures.

Rosh Hashana Celebration

Although it wasn't our first Jewish New Year with Penny, it was our first celebration. We kept it simple with lighting of the candles and then sharing apples and honey to ring in a sweet new year.

We didn't have a candle holder, so I 'crafted' one out of tin foil. Function over form :).

After we put Miss Penelope to bed, Gabe and I made a delicious dinner of salmon, potato pancakes and spinach salad with apples and candied walnuts (more sweet for a sweet new year).


It was a lovely way to acknowledge the holiday and add to our growing bag of traditions.
