Firsts

today is a day of firsts...so lets start a. first blog in a long time, and because of that i strongly suggest you make a little time in your day for this post...it contains much information and many pictures. b. first wedding, since i was pregnant with sophie. it was good to spend the day behind the camera again. c. first helmet, seeing as how we are expert bike riders a good helmet is always a plus. d. first teeth, penny now has a total of six teeth with the seventh coming through, these pictures really only show the bottom two. e. first garden, i have a plot in a community garden across the road and have been growing beans, pumpkins, zucchini, peas, cucumbers, beets, carrots, radishes, and peppers. the only difficult part is that we have to water the garden by hand from a hand pump...which takes its time but it has been really fun, especially with my two helpers. f. first and last time you will see pictures like these! g. first visit with family, in a while. h. first time painting, i had this romantic idea that i would hang her first painting. and it all went really well, until i saw all the hairs from the paint brush in the painting...scott said i could still put it up. i. first time sharing a room, and so far so good, except the night that sophie pulled on pennys arm through the bars of her crib to get closer to her! j. first bike ride, as a family...scott rode his long board and i took the girls in the chariot. it was way too fun, both sophie and penny laughed the whole time. ps, that is my bike that i bought in grade eight with my babysitting money! these have been the firsts in a while...i have one more to add but no pictures, sophie had her first dance lesson today, and i may have to say that she is really the star of the show. i was pretty proud of her, watching her take instruction and follow the teachers moves, she was pretty cute.
