The Many Faces of Ruth

I have been told all my life that I am horrible at hiding my thoughts...so exactly what I'm thinking comes out in my facial expressions even if I didn't want it to. I believe this is something my daughter has inherited. Just look at the evidence!

This is Ruth smiling, I couldn't believe I caught this on camera!

This is Ruth showing her disapproval, first by sticking out her tongue and then by sticking up her dukes...watch out she's a tough cookie!

Ruth's Blessing

I found some pictures from Ruth's blessing so I thought I would post them. My mom made the white dress she's wearing. You can't truly appreciate the detail in the dress from the pictures but it was beautiful. It was actually kind of funny because we had to bless Ruth when she was so young (only time both sets of parents were in town) the tights that we had didn't fit her. She looked like one of those old grannies whose nylons are saggy around the ankles! Luckily the dress was long enough that no one at the blessing knew this secret but me, mom, and Ruth. It was a really special night, despite Ruth's saggy ankles.
