A weekend with Grandma

What a surprise. We needed a visitor and Grandma Terrie happened to be available. Sweet! She came and took over the kitchen making Rice Pudding, Cinnamon rolls, Sunday dinner, everything. She even won over Penny on the first day, not first meeting, but first day. Not bad.  


Check out these sweet pics of Gma on the trampoline. She showed Sophie tricks she learned in middle school.  Doug was kind enough to continually remind her how long ago she was in middle school and just how old that makes her now.  She took him down in the front yard in response.  Old.  pfffpfpf!  



After grandma left on Monday we took off to the beach with Bart and Robyn and all the ninos.  We ate some incredible fish and chips and marveled at how there are 10 of us now when we all get together.  After that we took doug to the airport and then finally headed home where we all crashed in the same bed, Penny included.   This meant that I was up at 5:40 without a real place to sleep, but I wouldn't have it any other way when it's just the 4 of us.

Other than that, I finally decided to watch the news again.  Sarah Palin brought me back from my summer long hiatus and I can't wait to see how she affects the presidential race.  pregnant teenage daughter and all.  Although, i do agree that kids of nominees should be off limits.    

Just some pics of Owen and our cute neighbor, Chloe. 


OH!! Check out the new hole in Owen's smile.  It was seriously dangling by a thread for DAYS and Sophie finally got it out. 

Look at our pretty Penny. She's sitting up! (well, for a few short minutes anyway)

Wish I could have been there! I can't believe Penny can sit, is she seriously big enough for that? She looks like a little doll sitting there. A-dorable.
