Santa Claus, Laundry Complete or Laura Cooking?

Which one isn't real? Laundry complete, of course! How do Jon and Kate or the Duggars keep up with it? Ahem...I should mention prior to Penny I only did laundry on the weekends, and before we had our own washer and dryer we headed to the laundromat when we had run out of every clean piece of clothing in our posession. I knew I was committing myself to at least every other day by doing cloth diapers, but I didn't know that spit up can happen at any time. I asked the dr about this and she said it is perfectly normal for Penny to spit up an hour after a meal since her stomach is getting larger. She isn't one of those babies that does it really often, but there is no warning. That means Mommy goes through a lot more outfits then she used to. We did get almost everything washed this weekend...folded and put away will probably be another day or two! :)

Look how big Penny is now...she isn't going to fit in the bassinet much longer!



On the fun side we visited Santa Claus this weekend. My grandma Henry would be grumbling about us seeing Santa and listening to Christmas music before Thanksgiving, but who wants to wait in line with an infant? Plus, I know all the words to Christmas music and can sing to Penny in the car. But I'll wait to post the Santa and Penny pictures. There are a few cute ones for our Christmas card. She actually woke up for the picture, but didn't look at Santa. Here are some of Penny as we were walking around the mall.






As for Laura cooking, yes, it is true, and I took pictures of my cobbler to prove it! Last week I watched way too much Food Network. I emailed a few recipes to Chris so he made those for dinner. What a great guy! Then I saw Sunny make a peach and blueberry cobbler. Chris doesn't like either of those fruits and he won't make food he doesn't like so it was up to me. Okay, the crust was store bought and there were about 6 ingredients, but this is from the girl who mixed up the two recipes on the bisquick box and made some sort of biscuit waffle thing. (That was only a few months ago)
Not quite pretty enough for a holiday table, but it was really yummy :)


And here's pictures of Daddy and his little girl




Well, I'm off to play with Miss Smiley Girl. She is so talkative and smiley now and becoming quite ticklish.

I heard something on the radio today that comes true everytime I see little Penelope Jane and her mom and dad.

The only thing that is better than seeing your baby is seeing what a great person she turns out to be.

Papa John is so proud of Pills, Chris and PJ.

You know that the only thing more fabulous than these great pictures of Penny for me is that Chris got a HAIRCUT!
That has made my day.
Love you all!
