WORK IT GIRLS!


What a great three weeks of maternity leave I have had. It has flown by so fast though. I am going to be so sad when its time to go back to work. Some great things have happened while I have had the chance to spend time with my babies.

First of all Daniel got a job yesterday! We are so happy and proud of him. He will be working at the Oregon Gardens here in Silverton. He will be doing maintenance and grounds work. What a great job for him. I think he will be really happy there and that is what is important.

My mom's best friend Debie makes adorable tutu's for little girls. She has spoiled our girls a number of times with these cute creations. Ruby has 3 tutu's now and looks so cute in all of them. I will be posting more pictures later of the girls in them. Thanks a ton Debie! We love them!

Dec. 3rd was the annual Silverton tree lighting. We went to the fire station ahead of time to see Santa. Abby loves him. She would not stop talking to him and asking him questions. Ruby also seemed to like him. She smiled at him the whole time. Maybe we will have two girls not scared of the Jolly Old Guy!

This Santa was a fire fighter back in the day. Very sweet man!

Monday the 12th we went and got our tree. Abby was so excited! I love the picture of the two of them watering the tree. She had a blast getting the tree with dad. Ruby and I went back to the car soon after Daniel cut it down. We were cold and done! :) I love decorating the tree. Each ornament means something different, and special in our lives. This year I bought Abby ballet slippers to put on the tree to represent her dance classes. Ruby will get a 1st Christmas ornament.

Ruby is growing by leaps and bounds! I can't believe she will be 5 months this month! She amazes me each day with all she can do. She is starting to play in her little bouncy seat. She is also a pro at raspberries and this little growling sound she makes....its pretty funny. She loves her big girl food and can't wait for it to get into her mouth. She dive bombs the spoons! She is always happy unless she is hungry, tired or poopy. Other than that there is always a smile on her face. I try so hard to memorize the feel, sounds, and time I have with her. I totally understand why last children are spoiled....he he he .

It has been a blessing for me to have the time and stay home with both of my girls.

GOD IS GOOD!
