Penelope in California!

Well, Penelope's first trip to California was a success! She was such a good little traveler (with the exception of our final flight from Austin to Milwaukee... but with almost 4 hours in delays, we were all a bit cranky!)



We got to visit with a lot of family and friends that were very excited to meet her! Below is a 4 generations photo of Penelope with Alan, her Grandpa - John and her Great-Grandpa - Harold. While visiting with them we figured out that Penelope is the first girl to be born to the Primm family in over 100 years!


We were able to get Penelope baptized while we were there - at the Holy Family Cathedral in Orange, CA... Alan's brother, Steven and his wife, Jill are her God Parents :)


A lot of Alan's family's friends were able to join us in celebrating Penelope's baptism - we thank them all for coming!


Mary Ellen was head over heals in love with her new grandbaby! I don't think she put her down the whole time we were there!


Jill and Steven kind of liked her too :)


Our time spent out there just seemed to fly by. Between the baptism and Jill and Steven's wedding and visiting family, we were pretty busy almost every day that we were there... but we were able to hit the beach at least one day while there. So I was finally able to put Penny in this adorable little baby bikini that I have had since I was about 6 months pregnant. Words cannot describe how excited I was to finally be able to put her in it and tote her, and our huge convoy of baby gear to the ocean!


My little beach babe! I think some of that relaxed surfer mentality stuck on her because ever since we got back to Wisconsin, she has been the most peaceful and content little baby. She is especially loving to hang out in her swing!
