Flashback

One year ago today I thought I had a big preggo belly....if I only had only known what was in store for me the following four months.

Bobby on a Hobby

Baba's hobby horse from 1944 is now in Baba and Gigi's gameroom. Ruby discovered it during our last visit to Houston and clearly loved it. Baba sent us his picture on the horse and I couldn't wait to post them together on Ruby's blog. We now know where Ruby gets her good looks. Love you, Babaganoush.

Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain

Last night we got back from a five day trip to Tulsa to visit Ruby's grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, and many friends. Ruby had a blast and was on her best behavior for everyone, showing off her newly discovered soundless laugh (imagine hyperventilating with a smile on her face). We got to swim in the pool, eat great food, celebrate Great-Grandpa Lewis' 85th birthday, and, for the parents, sleep a little bit longer than usual.

Many, many thanks to my parents for hosting Emilia, Ruby, myself, Stella, Stanley, Lauren, and Jacob. We love y'all.

A few pictures for y'all to enjoy:

The calls of "speech! speech!" did not go unanswered.

I know this is a family-friendly blog for Ruby ... but seriously - how hot is my wife?

Seven months (and a few days)

We forgot to do the seven month picture on the 30th, so seven plus a week will have to suffice.

Are We There Yet?

A little excerpt from the car ride home from Tulsa. Complete chaos and Ruby loves it.

Greetings from Tulsa

Ruby just wanted to pop in and say hello to all her loyal readers.
