Last Thurday, Lisa, Penny, and I heading down to the Philly area to visit Alan, Janet, Ella, and Nate. Â Lisa had just spent over a week with them at the end of July, but I really wanted to get down there and see the whole family, especially since I hadn’t had a chance to meet Nate until then. Â We had a great day with the MacDonalds. Â We went out to lunch (cheesesteaks!) and dessert (Maggie Moo’s!!), and all played outside their wonderful new home. Â It was a shame that I could only see them for an afternoon, but when you live so far away, you take what you can get! Â There are also more pics over at their blog.
I’ve been taking just about every opportunity of my short stay in West Hartford to hang out with Penny. On Tuesday, Penny and I walked down to the park to play. Unfortunately, all the equipment was far too hot for PJ. However, we had a blast in the cool shadows of all the trees in the park. Penelope loves to run around and pick up leaves and sticks. She also loves to share them with everybody. Penny loves the park!
THIS WEEK ONLY!
Penelope is guest-starring at our friend’s, Alan and Janet, blog — The Essence of Ella and Nathaniel .
Must be sweeps month in PA. Â Anyways, should keep you busy until I can get through some of my photos. Â I did finally post my Japan pics (and the best are now rolling out daily at tinyphotons)!
I finally got around to uploading all the pics from last October  up through May 2009 on my picasa site.  Many of the photos have been seen on the blog before, but there are many new ones.  Enjoy.
Penelope and I have been having Daddy-Penelope day most of today (except when I had to go to work), and I am just amazed how how big she has gotten in just the last month. Â You probably remember this picture from Jan 15th.
And this one is from today!
Â
What a BIG GIRL!!
