Last Friday was family day at Penny’s school.  The kids had been working all week on a gift for the parents and a dance, for Friday afternoon’s performance.  All we knew was the Penny’s dance would involve a hat and an umbrella.  Not that I am biased, but Penny and Jona were the stars of the show!  I definitely think we have a little performer on hand, which does not bode well for her teen years 🙂

(video to come)

Some of Penny’s most favorite people in the world are Bernadette, Peter, Amy and Josh- the Schneider family.  While our friend Craig was here visiting, we went out to their house for a bbq.  Unfortunately, I didn’t get any pics of Craig, or the group, but I got a few of Penny playing in their yard, getting her face painted and playing jump rope.

Here’s another update on Penny’s swim class.  She goes twice a week and has a wonderful time.  She and Ben were the only ones at class this day, but they both did wonderful.  Unfortunately, they were too fast, or I was too slow, and most of the pics are slightly blurry.

After Penny’s nap today the sun came out, so Katy and I decided to bring Penny and Ben to the zoo to feed some of the animals.  Penny and Ben had a great time feeding them and playing, and Katy and I had fun watching them.  Though I don’t know how it is possible, I think Penny and Ben get cuter by the second!!

Today was the head mistress’ last day at the jardin.  Penny and Jona’s class has been busy preparing a dance to perform at the going away party.  The kids had to come in costume (Penny a sort of ladybug and Jona a clown) and Sara and I were both excited to see Penny and Jona strut their stuff!  Unfortunately Steve and Markus had to work, so they weren’t able to come.  I took a ton of pictures though and Sara took some video (coming later).  Hope you enjoy as much as we did!!

Penny was so excited to go to the party she was jumping all around-

Jona and Penny were both awoken from their naps early for the party, Jona wasn’t quite ready to wake up yet!-
