Showing Photographs


Guess who came to visit Nonna this weekend?  Penny Lane, in all her hippy headband glory.
She'll be moving close in July.  Son (her Dad) just finished his internship and will receive his Ph.D.
It has been a long hard winding road and we are so proud of him.
One more year of a post-doc and his little family is over the hump.  And, new baby sibling for Penny is coming before Christmas. 

Notice, she is beginning to dislike posing for pictures.  Precious twos.

Absolutely, wonderful news! What a cutie granddaughter. Congratulations to everyone. Good news is so lovely after so many unwanted challenging events in the recent past. Hope everyone is doing well.

Bea said...

What a sweet-looking child! Congrats to your son on receiving a PhD. That is quite an achievement.

donna baker said...

Thank you Mary. Seems everyday highs and lows. Just life. Penny is a beautiful child.

donna baker said...

Thank you Bea. He has had a long road as he got his masters in an area he decided he didn't want to do so it was almost like starting over again. His proudest achievement is Penny. I have never seen a more loving father.

I love her lol.
What a doll Nonna..Woodstock 2032..here she comes!

Oh yes Sandra.

That is so funny Monique. She is a doll, but starting to assert her independence. She makes me laugh, especially at her parents when she does her best terrible twos.

Congratulations to your Son and Family !
I can not believe she is so big already. I remember her smaller. Love the little twinkle in her eye.... she could be a hand full I think.
Again so happy for your family !

cheers, parsnip and thehamish

Thank you so Gayle. She is so funny and laughs and smiles. Bella is 10 now and Ollie will be 9 tomorrow. They grow up in the blink of an eye.

Sandra Cox said...

She's such a cutie:)

donna baker said...

I think so too. And, quite smart, but I think she'll be an actress.

Yes, Jo. They just bought a house a few streets away and are moving in July. Soon, I'll have my garage back and my study and closets too;) Thank you too.

Such a cutie!!! Seems like she was just a baby not that long ago!

donna baker said...

Oh Ry. Thank you. She was always such a smiley and I just melt. Just went to Oliver's 8th birthday lunch. Can't believe how fast they are growing up.
