happy tuesday

These pics are for you Dad'n, to help you get through the day!  It's Tuesday and we didn't have the best sleep last night, but we're happy anyway.  Missing you and counting the days till you get home:  4 more days plus today... so five.   

Kate (2.5 yrs), Elliott (1 yr) and Aimee (mom) came over in the afternoon.  We love their visits.  It's cool watching Ruby interact with other kids.  When it's just me she's actually pretty talkative but with other kids she's as quiet as a mouse.  Doesn't say much at all but you can tell she's enjoying herself.  I guess she's watching and learning.... trying to figure out the concept of "sharing".  It's amazing how quickly every toy in the house gets taken out, chewed, drulled on, thrown and then forgotten just as quickly.  I've also noticed a phenomenon I call "cup envy".  Whenever another kid has a sippy cup Ruby want's it and won't give up until she gets it. 

Here's a group shot.  Kate's hiding in the corner back there... it's hard to get a good shot of everyone!

Play time.
