You guessed it......

more baby pictures!

This was her all day long two days ago:

And a couple of her in the bouncy-seat:

Here's a couple more

Just a few pictures from this morning.

This one's my favorite.

Oh yeah,

here's a picture I forgot. I love her onesie!

More pictures

Here's a couple of pictures from today.

Me holding her:

Screaming to be fed:

Mom holding her right before feeding, with Jon watching:

And her name is............

or we think it'll be, Sara(h) Elizabeth Pennick! Everyone thinks it's very pretty. Now we just need to decide how to spell it.
There'll be more pictures pretty soon. Hopefully ones in which she doesn't have a hat on!

New Baby

Well, you've waited, you're wondered and now the moment has finally arrived in which you can now see the baby! For you all to know, it's a girl who is currently going by the temporary name of Tina (thank Jon). At 4:00 this morning, Mom went into labor and by 7:00, she'd delivered. So here's the newest addition to the Pennick family!

Mom says she looks a lot like me (Madeline)! Isn't she cute?

School, this week

This is what school is looking like this week for us. Finishing up our math books, beginning a study on World War II (because Mom's knowledge about this is so terribly lacking), and a bit of grammar and writing thrown in for good measure. These pictures are from my vantage point on the sofa.

My view on Mother's Day

Jack, practicing pitching in the lot.

Bill, hurting his knees catching.

Daisy dog, resting in the shade.

Shirtless Jon, wearing rubber boots in the heat.

I was sitting in a chair that Bill so-kindly moved out for me and Maddy was taking the pictures. Not a very eventful day. Shopped for a new lipstick at CVS and went to happy hour (half-priced drinks) at Sonic.

Ice cream ball and fresh strawberries

Despite the ongoing rain, the local strawberries are ripe and ready to go. Earlier than Oregon by a long shot, but so good. There is a farm about 2 miles down the road that sells berries and we frequent it this time of year. I absolutely do not u-pick--I've done my share of that! We bought 5lbs. this morning and had them all eaten by this evening. Yikes! We used Jack's ice cream ball to make a bit of vanilla softserve to go with them. Have you seen one of these before? You fill one side with cream, sugar, vanilla, etc. and the other side with ice and salt. We roll it, throw it, or shake it for about 20 minutes and it makes about 1 pint of nice, soft ice cream.

Be sure to check out Jon's fort in the background. It's my chair covered with every pillow in the house. I think he's even hidden snacks back behind because you never know when hunger might strike!

Bill's not working due to the rain (what is it with these southerners--are they made of sugar?!) so tonight looks like a movie night. I believe they're watching "Independence Day" so I might need to find something else to occupy my time.
