What Everyone Should Know About Ruby . . .

Well, let me tell you something. This little gal came to us 6 years ago disguised as a newborn; furnished with her own cute BIG spirit, big attitude, big plans and big personality.  Joel and I would be lost without her in our family.  We celebrated her 6th birthday on Saturday (along with her grandpa Claude and cousin Alanna--more about that later). We love everything about her and thought we'd record some things about Ruby right now so we can remember how she charmed us at age 6!  Without further delay . . .

Some things you should know about Ruby:

She loves being in Kindergarten

She finishes most of her sentences with the question, "Right?"

She is a friend/cousin magnet

She thinks that when we have flies in our house, its because they have a hideout here (in a tiny drilled hole in the kitchen pantry--she was so proud when she showed me that she had finally found where they were coming from)

This is how she falls asleep (with Scout, and the thumb . . . still)

She is co-Founder and co-President of the Daddy fan club

She loves anything Princess, Swan, castle-ish, and aspires to have servants

 (This is one of the brass swans that her Grammy Huebner had as a decoration, she LOOOOOVVES to include her in her ongoing dramas)
 

She filled out this on Sunday in Church

 ( it says:  Ask Me About My Talents.  1.  Funny  2.  Fashion    3.  Good at coloring and  4. (she added one) good at being friends. )  All are true!

(see--she does love fashion--swimsuit and heels)

This is where she climbs on the railing every day to "talk" to her friends Ethan and Tyler next door while they're playing on their swingset.

 We love you Ruby, you will always be our little Gem!
