SPY and PEY Dividends

I just received my dividend payments for my holdings of SPY and PEY. SPY only pays its dividends out quarterly, and I've anxiously been awaiting this payment to see the increase due to compounding since the last payment in April. I received $1.62 from SPY and $1.82 from PEY, both of which were reinvested back into the same funds. The summer, with our big move and my lower teaching load, had cut back on my investing a bit; but now that summer is rapidly winding to a close, I am looking forward to getting the ball rolling again and to seeing the compounding effect over the next year.
