Saying Goodbye
Stella's Ya-ya came out for a month, arriving the day after Ruby came into the world. We are so grateful for family, and for a month of having one of Stella's grandma's around to hold and snuggle Ruby, as well as rough housing, tea parties, and dress up with Stella. What a fun month! We said goodbye yesterday, and it made for a few sad moments after the train pulled away.. We love you, Ya-ya!!

Becoming Accustomed to One Another
It has been fun watching Stella eat up every moment with Ruby, over the past couple of weeks. We have many pictures like this one:
Almost as much fun, is watching Ruby notice Stella more and more, and not minding the constant touching from her big sister. Stella loves any opportunity for Ruby to hold her hand, or respond to Stella's kisses. This afternoon, Ruby was sleeping in her crib, when she woke up fussing. We let her fuss for a few minutes, but Ruby wanted to be held. Right after I picked up Ruby, Stella asked if the two of them could lay next to each other on Stella's bed. As soon as I laid Ruby next to Stella, and Ruby could feel someone next to her, she went right back to sleep. They stayed this way for a good forty minutes. Stella loved it. Ruby is so lucky to have such a great big sister.

Ringing in the New Year
We rang in the new year in grand fashion this year... Ruby Lauren was born @ 6:40 New Years Eve. 7 lbs, 4 oz and 18.5" long. Lots of red hair, and daddy's chin dimple (just like Stella). Nothing more beautiful. Except perhaps watching Stella with Ruby. We are just in love with this darling new addition to our family. Easy delivery, and we're all doing great (and even getting a decent amount of sleep already). Pics below..
Glenn went and picked up Stella from a friends place so she could come over and meet Ruby and hang out a bit before going back to head to bed. Love at first sight...
First family photo
Stella was there to escort Little Sister home from the hospital
Apparently, Ruby doesn't appreciate Stella's attempt to spoon in the crib
Stella can't get enough of this little one - always talking to Ruby, touching her, and plenty of hugs and kisses
Tonight, we had a little party celebrating Ruby's one week birthday
We sure LOVE our girlies!!
A great big thank you to all of our friends and family who have shown us so much love and support these past several months, but especially this past week. We love you all so much!
