"Wake up Lil' Penny"

Today is Penelope day!  Last week Linda only took a few photos, but this week she is going to fill her memory card.  Penny is changing so much everyday.  Look at when she was only a month old.  Today she is the same size as her BFF Cali, and Cali is like 7 months old!  This photo of P yawning is just adorable.  Sarah is an amazing photographer and she only uses a small point and shoot!

Today hasn't started out as she planned. Linda always admires the runners who get up before work to hit the pavement.  She set her alarm for the first light of dawn so she could take us for a walk while it was still a little chilly.  It's supposed to be one of those over 100 degree oppressive days.  It's now after 7:00 and we still have not walked.  Once Linda gets started doing something, the small task usually snowballs.  If there is a piece of fuzz on the carpet, that usually leads to a total vacuuming.  If she notices a piece of junk mail laying around, she has to throw it away which leads to emptying the wastebasket and then all the other wastebaskets in the entire house.  The only thing that does not hold true to this rule is laundry.  She never lets more than a load of dirty laundry accumulate, but folding it and putting it away isn't always punctual.  Right now there are only a few pair of socks left in her draw, but every pair she owns is clean..... they are just downstairs in a laundry basket nestled under all the other clean clothes.  To get to them, she'd have to put away and hang up everything on top.  They should make laundry baskets with two little trap doors on the bottom so you could take out the socks and underwear without disturbing the rest of the clothes.  (You read it here first, if anyone else comes up with the idea... I want a cut!)
