Building Puppies and Leopards

Ben and I wanted to do something with Ruby to remember her time here and celebrate her third birthday so we took the three littles to build a bear while Kara took the bigs to a movie. Ruby picked a puppy she named Sofi and Owen picked a leopard he named Spot. They both seemed to really enjoy even after a long day at the museum and a late night at the laser light show. Ruby gave me lots of hugs and "I love you'd" as I tucked her in bed tonight. When you live so far from family you soak up those words for all they're   worth and linger a little longer tucking her in. She was so tired she was almost asleep before I got downstairs. Happy birthday Ruby-Dooby-Doo! We love you!

Laser Light Show

We went to Stone Mountain for the laser light show last night. Owen and Ruby loved dancing before the show and we all enjoyed a great evening.

Saturday Morning with Curtis

A Day at the Zoo

In my house it is always a zoo, but today we visited the real thing. We watched an elephant eat, counted heads many times, saw otters swimming, watched a rattlesnake watch us and some goober twins picked a gorilla's nose. It was a fun exhausting day.

Morning cuddles

Fun With Ruby

Ruby and Auntie Kara and Curtis are visiting. We had a wonderful day of doing nothing but enjoying each others company. We cuddled Curtis, Ruby and Owen played sometimes great and sometimes not so great. Naps were taken, I got to cuddle Ruby to sleep, stories were told and memories were made.
