We find it very funny that some days Penny seems to be almost the same size as Natalie!

Well, It would seem that it is already summer vacation! Cooper got out of school this past Friday and he couldn't be more thrilled. He also finished his season of MCAA baseball as well.

He has just one week of summer camp this year and he changes his mind daily as to whether he wants to go or not! Otherwise his plans for the summer are swim, swim and swim.

Natalie, on the verge of turning 2, is a total chatterbox. She never seems to stop talking and mimics everything around her. This can be a tad dangerous at times depending on the situation! She is really doing great and is turning into such a little girl instead of a baby.

Penelope is smiling now, which somehow makes the night feedings a bit more tolerable. She smiles and coos and seems to be pretty happy. She is a big baby with a lot of rolls and dimples. We find it very charming!

Dean and I are doing well too. We are still working on many projects throughout the house. Dean just finished hanging wainscoting in the downstairs bathroom and now it is my job to paint it. He wants to start working on the front porch and I have a few sewing projects and painting projects to start as well. We are certainly keeping busy!!

Penny - Finally smiling!!!
