Pied Piper

I bet Ruby $5 she couldn't eat a whole ear of corn on her own. I lost.

SAHM

Today is one of those days where I am so thankful that I am able to stay home with Ruby. I always knew that I wanted to stay home with my babies, but it is so much more amazing than I ever could have imagined. As I type this, Ruby is in her exersaucer, talking up a storm and bouncing up and down. When I look over to smile and talk to her, I feel overwhelmed with how much I love her.

This morning, we had a great time at the grocery store, buying lots of produce to make our own baby food and finding new foods for her to try. SIX people came up to me to talk to Ruby and tell me how beautiful she is! Being the little flirt that she is, Ruby coo-ed and goo-ed for all the strangers. We've spent the afternoon playing in the front yard together, swinging and playing airplane. PLUS, Dad will get home at 6pm tonight, something we have missed this last month. My life is so good and I am so thankful.

And just because she's cute and I love her....

Sine Die, Part 2

First Day of Session:


Last Day of Session:

Six Months (and two days)

It is practically impossible now to get a good picture in the chair without Ruby grabbing the sign, eating the sign, grabbing the longhorn, trying to climb out of the chair, etc. Twenty minutes and this was the best pic I could get.

SINE DIE! SINE DIE! SINE DIE!

Today is Sine Die, the last official day of regular session. This means that we will soon have our Daddy back. HOORAY! No confirmation on a special session yet, but we're excited just to know that the worst is behind us.

David's so excited, he's doing handstands.
