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!
