You know what this is about,

so I'll get to the point:
Her staring at who knows what:

She was really mad in this picture. I think she looks a lot like Mom:

She liked the light coming in the window in this one:

Bath pictures

So yesterday night Sarah turned one week old! So how did we celebrate? A wonderfully exiting trip to Wal Mart and her first bath, as her cord fell off. Here's a few pictures:

Awwwwwwwww.........

Do I even need to tell you what this post is about?

If you guessed baby pictures, you were right.

Cute outfit that she wore yesterday (it was mine)

And Mom's first experiment with the Moby Wrap:

Sarah seemed pretty happy!

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.

Screaming to be fed:

Mom holding her right before feeding, with Jon watching:

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?

Crayon Rocks

Everyone needs these. Here is the link with the information:

crayonrocks

We bought these for Jon for his birthday, but now we're thinking that we want to keep them for ourselves. They're natural, affordable, and the colors are really cool.

F.V Jones

This is the best store in the entire world. It's only 10 minutes from our house, therefore making it a convenient place to hang out. It is owned by the lady standing next to Mom, Mrs. Josephine Jones. She and her son, as well as a couple of other women, run it. I believe certain grandparents will remember it. Especially the wood floors.
They sell everything. Seriously, you name it, they probably have it. It's always packed during hunting season, mainly for the great food.
We stop by almost every Friday for lunch. Jon enjoys having conversations with the owner. For example, today he asked if the store carried dynamite. Much to his disappointment, the answer was no.

Sasquatch

Our family are Bigfoot fans, or at least Jon and I are. Mom and Dad say that we need help, but we believe that there is unexplained phenomenon out there that could be real. We not only believe in Sasquatch, we also believe in aliens, the Lochnes Monster, and a number of other things that make us look like weirdos. We are also pleased to say that Dad had a Bigfoot encounter two years before I was born. We think that this encounter may be were our craze for the unexplained came from.

Baby Stuff!

This is Madeline, just so everyone knows.

For those of you who don't know, Mom is going to have a baby. So, Mom and I have started making baby stuff. So far there is this cute quilt that we both made in about three days.

Then the equally cute hooded baby blanket that I made by myself.

An then (this is my personal favorite), we made this adorable baby booties.

The booties and the blanket are made from fleece and the quilt is made of flannel. You can buy a book online called Sew What, Fleece. That's where these blanket and booties came from. Here a link so you can find it:http://www.amazon.com/Sew-What-Fleece-Carol-Jessop/dp/1580176267/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1222624876&sr=8-1

Enjoy!

Elsie Dinsmore

Hi, this is Madeline.
I just wanted to know if anyone has ever heard of the Elsie Dinsmore books. They're about this little Southern girl who is growing up in the late 1800's. I'm pretty sure the author's name is Martha Finnley. They are written from a Christian perspective, just so you know.
The books were revised about 5 or 6 years ago, but you can still get the originals. I think the the originals are something that even an adult would enjoy. The revised one are good too. You can get them through this link: http://www.lifeoffaith.com/shop/catalog/category_160_Elsie_Dinsmore_Books.html
Anything from a Life of Faith is pretty good. That's the company that did the revised books.
There are two other series that you can read that go with the Elsie books. There's Millie Keith and Violet Travilla. Violet is Elsie's daughter and Millie is a cousin of Elsie's. Go to alifeoffaith.com to buy them all.
These have to be some of the best books ever written. I'd really suggest them.

Fondue!

I found this RED fondue pot at a little junk (or shall I say Junque?) store next to our library. It was marked $12 and I just couldn't pay that much. Yesterday, however, it had a gold star on its' pricetag.

Thank goodness Walmart carries Old English cheese year round. I think Southerners use it in pimento cheese--certainly not in something like fondue!

Knitting project

This is Madeline. I finished my knitting project. I don't have a picture right now but, I'll get on later. It's a glasses case for my dad. It's his birthday present.

I love Mrs. Meyer's cleaning products.

I found these products about 6 months ago and am hooked. They are biodegradable, not harmful to my septic system, non-toxic, and made from vegetable-based soaps. No petroleum products at all. Even the packaging is recycled. But best of all, is the smell. All of these sprays and cleaners smell so good. My favorite is the lemon verbena scent. There's also a gingerbread scent that is available in the fall. After I've cleaned with them, the scent remains for days. Or maybe just hours if it's the kids' bathroom. I can buy mine at Ukrops, but that won't do any Oregonians any good. Here's a link to find them elsewhere:
