penny: i was away from you for the longest period of time ever this week. four whole days. it was only supposed to be three, which we've done before, but when matt and i got snowed in while shooting a wedding in ny, our three days turned to four, and that additional 24 hours was enough to make me miss you like never before. i think maybe you felt the same because since then you've decided you don't need sleep any more, and would simply like to spend all of your time together... awake. you've been waking up at 6am, not falling asleep until 9:30pm on some nights, and today you threw a curveball at me and also decided you didn't need to take a nap. so my dearest penny, i love you like crazy, but let's get some sleep now shall we?!?!

penny: it's no secret that you love the snow, and i couldn't help but love it a little more too when seeing it through your eyes.

penny: a few weeks ago when we were on our way to target, we parked in the underground parking garage, and proceeded to make our way up stairs. you stopped to play with a dinosaur you had with you that day, and i was floored by the incredible light on those steps. sadly though, i only had my phone with me that day. however, seeing as you're the daughter of a photographer, naturally i would take you back to that very spot and have you sit there again while i capture it with my real camera. thank you for being such a good sport about it. i'm sure this won't be the last time that happens.

penny: we got a whole 2 inches of snow this week, and one would have thought you won the lottery. you jumped, threw snow balls, and ate your weight in the chilly fluffy white stuff. after a few days of the snow sitting out though i had to teach you about not eating the dirty spots. your words, said with 100% sass, were as follows... "penny. no. eat. garbage. snow. mommy!"

more from this day here.

penny: it was a bit of a tough week for our home. your doggies got in a fight with each other, so quite a bit of our time was spent inside figuring out how to handle this new dynamic. it's a work in progress but things are getting better, and thankfully you don't seem to mind pajama days with mama at all. this move has thrown us some serious curve balls, things we never could have planned for. i'm more grateful then ever for ridiculously cute moments like this that are sprinkled throughout our day. tea parties and dinosaurs. dancing and block building. all in all, things could definitely be worse.
