I almost have Ruth's birth story typed up. It's not done yet and I want to do it justice because it was a HUGE blessing and answer to many, many prayers. Until I get it done her are some pictures of us, but probably mostly Ruth.

Ruth on her due date 3/16/13.
The girls wondered if that bow would ever come out of her hair. Glen told them he was sure by time she went to college it would be out! |
These three pictures were our egg hunting on Easter. I did all the hiding and had to come back out to make sure they got them all. It was a really good day.

Tummy time.

| My red heads. At least for now, I don't know if Ruth's will stay red. |
Ruth is doing great. She lost at least 10% of her body weight while we were at the hospital. So we had to get her checked out on the Friday after she was born. She was 8 lbs 6 oz., 21 1/4 inches then. By her two week appointment she had gained that pound plus some back. She was 9 lbs. 10 oz. and 21 inches. We aren't exactly sure how long she really is. We just know they didn't stretch her very well at the hospital.

Daryl really likes this baby chair. Luckily it is big enough for him to use, because he buckles himself in to it and gets "stuck" but then carries it around to where he wants to be.

| He can pretend to be a sleeping baby, but not so. |
When you start hanging out with a newborn/ infant a lot, your little boy gains about 10 pounds and becomes a giant over night. I seriously think that is what happened while I was at the hospital. He is so big now.

| Evelyn and Ruth. She really likes her and will even take her away from Roberta when she is holding her. |

Your baby is so precious! But I'm biased. I think all your kids are beautiful and extra sweet.
