Oh what a sweet, big brother!

Friday evening I asked Kirk to run down the street and pick up Ruby from a friend's house...John wanted to go too. I was in the middle of something and really wanted Kirk to do it...knowing that John wanted to go and that Kirk probably would just want to hurry and run down there...I braced for ANOTHER tantrum...but that is not what happened. Nope! Kirk grabbed John's little jacket and his socks and shoes and off they were...hand in hand, to fetch our little Ruby Roo!

I just had to sneak a picture! Thanks Kirk, you are one AWESOME big brother!!

If this isn't adorable, I don't know what is!

Remember, or 'member,' as we say at my house, how I posted about Ruby and her ROCK BAND? And how she beamed all through dinner? Well it meant a lot to her, more than we realized. The other night after dinner she dressed up as "someone else" and delivered this to her band members...so sweet! The child melts me, she really does! I am finally realizing after being a Mom for 12 1/2 years that it truly is the little things in life that mean the most to our children! It reads: "To My Band From Ruby, your leter (leader) I love you. Thank you so much." I adjusted the light on the picture...and ruined it...there is a lovely, HAPPY reindeer looking fella on this side! ADORABLE!! Yeah, RUBY ROCKS, my friends!!

Okay maybe Rich isn't as great as I thought he was...

The other night I overheard Rich telling the kids to RUN if they see me coming with my camera...or else their photo will end up on my blog! THAT TRAITOR!! Can you believe the nerve? The kids thought it was so funny...little do they know I have ALL SORTS OF pictures I could post on this here blog...even pictures of you Mr. Fairbanks!!! Consider yourself warned!
