So, I couldn’t figure out

how to shrink my photos down (and I took too many to post), I created my own picassa page.  Here are some of the many pics I took from our trip to Philly.  We had a wonderful time seeing everyone, and already miss them all!  Penny especially misses Nate and Ella!  We love you guys!  Thanks for a wonderful visit!

Here’s the link…

La Frontera

On June 5, 2009 by Lisa With 150 Comments - PJ, Travel

Last weekend we (along with Rikki, Chris and Jack) rented a cabana in the Elqui Valley.  We stayed in a beautiful cabana on the river and enjoyed sunny warm days and cool nights.  Originally we planned to go camping but a cold front came through so we decided to stay at Casa Piedra (Stone House) instead.  We all had a great time relaxing and playing with the kids.  It was a perfect weekend! (I only have my photos, so I’ll add Steve’s later.)

Over the ocean and across the country…

to Grams and Grandpa Tom’s we go.

Penelope aced another intercontinental journey from Chile to the US.  It was a pretty exciting time at the airport.  TWO big earthquakes were felt from nearby Valparaiso (6.2 and 6.0 magnitude!!) and Penelope loved her first time in a high chair.

 

 

Once here in Connecticut, we’ve been settling in around the Christmas tree.  Penelope already has her eye on some presents with her name on them.

Of course, she is already getting in some good time with Grams and Grandpa Tom.

Why the winter hat?  BECAUSE IT IS COLD AND SNOWY AND NOT THE SUMMER WE LEFT BEHIND.  We were hoping for a white Christmas, but weren’t expecting the foot of snow we may get tonight!

PJ, super-cute, jet-setting, world traveler.

Not everyone gets to travel from continent to continent, and certainly not before their 3rd month!!  But then again, Penelope isn’t just an ordinary little girl.  

Lucky for us and the people around us, she has been a wonderful traveler, mostly sleeping throughout the journey.  I think she did better than Lisa and I on the overnight flight from Santiago.  

Penelope’s first flight!

So exciting!!

Bored waiting at the gate…

Riding the train at DFW.  Wheeee…

 

Puttin’ on the Ritz*

On August 26, 2008 by Steve With 437 Comments - PJ, Travel

Penelope (thanks to her mother) has already developed a taste for the fancier things in life.  So when we had to travel to Santiago recently for Penelope’s embassy related things, we stayed at the Ritz-Carlton in the Los Condes area.  It was pretty fancy-pants and Penelope thinks so too.

 

 

Penelope thinks the bed is just about the right size for her.  Maybe needs a few more pillows.

 

Of course, we did go to Santiago to visit the embassy to register Penelope’s birth and apply for her passport.  Things went well and we should be getting her passport very soon!

 

*and yes I’m aware that puttin’ on the ritz has nothing to do with staying at the Ritz.Â
