Adventures of a New Little Family: Teresita's Surgery
http://familiapennings.blogspot.com/2014/04/teresitas-surgery.html
Tuesday, April 15, 2014. My parents brought the kids back home at bedtime. When they walked in the door, Teresita didn't open her eyes, but she sat up in my arms and started reaching for Juan Pablo. I gave her to him, and she laid on him for at least a minute before reaching back for me. And then she slept again until it was time for her follow up appointment the next morning. I just love how much my kids love each other. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). We Made A Deal.

Adventures of a New Little Family: Christmas 2013
http://familiapennings.blogspot.com/2014/04/christmas-2013.html
Tuesday, April 15, 2014. On December 6th, we celebrated the feast of St. Nicholas with little gifts in the kid's shoes. They each got candy canes, chocolate coins, clementines, and a book. I just love how Teresita looks with her sleep cap on. Ana Luisa took a different approach. She ran at the start, the decided she was too cold and hopped in the stroller so Jeff could push her. When she spotted the finish line she hopped out and sprinted the rest of the way. The next several days were spent in bed, or t...

Adventures of a New Little Family: October 2012

Wednesday, October 10, 2012. There are so many things I love about this: the lines he drew on the page and how crooked they are, the sheer number of L's he wrote, the letters at the beginning of each line that are darker, like the examples on his worksheets, and the dot at the top that shows where to put his pencil to start. I'm pretty sure he's the cutest Kindergartener ever. And his sisters are pretty cute too. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Simple template. Powered by Blogger.

Adventures of a New Little Family: Winter 2014
http://familiapennings.blogspot.com/2014/04/winter-2014.html
Tuesday, April 15, 2014. January started off with a blizzard and -35 temperatures. And for the most part, it was very, very cold (thank you, Polar Vortex) and very, very snowy. But I loved it. It was cozy. We developed a routine of school in the morning, and snuggling up in bed under piles and piles of blankets to read in the afternoons. And of course we were thankful for the days when it was warm enough to go play outside. We were even able to go feed the birds! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Man, ...

Adventures of a New Little Family: September 2012
http://familiapennings.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 27, 2012. Lord, Hear Our Prayer. Both Juan Pablo and Ana Luisa are in Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. This year. They started last Tuesday, and are both loving it. Ana Luisa has been dying to go ever since Juan Pablo started last year, so she is especially thrilled. After class this Tuesday, they were telling me about what they learned, and what they did:. Did you pray today? What did you say? Juan Pablo: "Thank you Jesus for Bobu (Ana Luisa).". Ana Luisa, smiling: Eso me encanto!

Adventures of a New Little Family: June 2013
http://familiapennings.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 22, 2013. Happy 4th Birthday Ana Luisa! Have I really not updated this blog since mid-April? Not sure how that happened. Anyway a very belated Happy Birthday to our sweet 4-year old girl! Don't worry, we did remember her birthday on the actual day. I just never posted anything about it here. 2 Mac and cheese. 3 Salad (everyone has to eat some otherwise they don't get cupcakes). 4 Cupcakes with butterflies on them. And a doll that looks like her (oh Juan Pablo). I felt like I was in a dream...

Adventures of a New Little Family: We Made A Deal
http://familiapennings.blogspot.com/2014/04/we-made-deal.html
Tuesday, April 15, 2014. We Made A Deal. We had a pretty big snowfall the day of Teresita's surgery in March, but after that, the snow in our yard started melting. Every day it was less and less. One day after playing outside for a while, Juan Pablo told me that playing outside made him think of how we used to go out for ice cream in the summer because he was so hot. So we made a deal. We decided that the day that the last bit of snow in our yard melted we would go out for ice cream. And then we waited.

Adventures of a New Little Family: July 2013
http://familiapennings.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Teresita had a weight check at the doctor's today. I am happy to report that after about six months being stuck in the 19-pound range, our teeny tiny two(and almost a half) year old finally broke 20 pounds! She weighed 20 pounds, 5 ounces to be exact. And she has grown another inch since her last weight check at the end of April, putting her at 33 inches tall! I was very happy, which made her feel very proud of herself, though I don't think she really understood why. We had a pi...

Sunday, April 14, 2013. End of Winter (Hopefully). Spring has been slow in coming this year, but we've tried to make the best of things and enjoy winter. I didn't know we were going to see wild turkeys! We've never seen wild turkeys here before! I can't believe it! He got several chickadees that came and ate from his hand! A couple weeks later Jeff went back with both big kids to feed the bird again. This time a woodpecker even landed on Juan Pablo's head! Ok, that's more like Teresita at any given momen...
