...in the middle of December. Oops!
We had a great trip up to the Grandparents' houses starting the weekend before Thanksgiving. I am glad for the opportunies for Ruthie to spend time with her Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. You can check out all the pictures from our 'vacation' in the online album (link on the right side).
It's been hard for me to get on the computer to blog and put up photos because Brandon has been 'working' from home for the last few weeks. And by 'working' I mean looking for a new job. He got let go from Stark the week before Thanksgiving, because of financial reasons. We are not worried--God will provide! Brandon already has a few leads, and many contacts from former colleagues. I still have my part time research job at Marquette.
Christmas is coming up quickly, and we plan to make another round of visits to the Grandparents (although not exactly sure on the dates--we'll figure it out soon, Grandmas!) We are looking forward to celebrating Christ's birth, and all the festivities that go along with it, with our bubbly, excitable 1-year-old. :)
Here are a couple photos from this past week. I babysat Josiah one day, and Gabe and his mommy came over for a play date. The kids had a great time! The second one is Ruthie in pigtails--so cute!! (not seeing it? Look for the bits of hair sticking out on either side of her head). She kept them in for all of 30 seconds... Hair clips and pony tails are a game for her. She wants us to put them in, and promply finds where they are on her head and pulls them out; then either tries to put them back in herself or hands them to one of us and waits until we put them back in. Fun, huh?

Love the pig tails too! She looks even more like you than the day we were there.:) Love the trio pic too. My serious lil Gaber.
ReplyDeleteHow does this Monday open gym 9-11am at 60th and Lloyd (old catholic gym) sound? Gabe and I will only be able to be there for 45 minutes or so. We can do it after the Holidays too. Let me know what you think.
Still on for Tuesday.:) My tummy is excited.
