Missing Tyler

Tyler will be graduating with his MBA in a little over a month & this last stretch of school has been so busy. I have to keep reminding myself that he's almost done with school forever. Hooray! Ruby & I have been missing him like crazy & periodically throughout every day Ruby walks around the house yelling "Dada" & looking all over for Tyler. It's nice to have someone around that misses him like I do & is just as excited when he comes home.

 

 

These two have a bond like no other & seeing them together is one of my most favorite things. May can't get here soon enough!



One Year Ago

Tyler & I will always remember St. Patrick's Day as the day we were sealed to Ruby. It's unbelievable how much can happen in just a year's time. Tonight we went for a family bike ride & the weather was perfect & the orange blossoms are blooming & Arizona smells amazing. And we stopped off at the park & ran around & played together & then Tyler & I just sat & watched Ruby. And I felt like a really lucky girl.

 

I think St. Patrick's Day will always be a reminder of just how lucky I am. There are no two people on this earth that I'd rather spend forever with.



Sick Days

Life has been a little slower around here these days. I'm finally getting over being sick & there's nothing worse than having to take care of a baby when you're sick. Sometimes you just want to phone it in, you know? Ruby thankfully did not get it & that may have something to do with the amazing immune system she's developed from sticking things like this in her mouth:

Oh my goodness, everything that girl sees goes straight to her mouth. And as soon as I catch her she takes it out & shakes her finger at whatever it was & says, "No, no, no!" as if she was just showing me an example of what we're not supposed to do. A while back we were playing outside & she found a puddle & the next thing I know she's on her hands & knees lapping up the water like a dog, covered in mud. It was disgusting & hilarious all at the same time. But she didn't get sick (knock on wood) & that's more than I can say for myself, so maybe she's onto something here...
