The End of Vacation


So our vacation is coming to a close. I don't have much more to say. Saturday we had a birthday party for dad, his birthday is really Tuesday the 27th, tomorrow...but that's when we leave. Josh, Laura and Jeremiah came over as well as Joe, Meg, and Brynn. We ate lasagna and delicious cake and then played Win, Lose or Draw. We had a blast. Then on Sunday it snowed, but we still had church (surprising since we're in Oregon). I went to primary with my mom and started to cry when the kids were singing "We Are a Happy Family." I really miss Brad.

Today we woke up and immediately got ready to take pictures. Ruth is always so cute when she first wakes up, cooing and smiling and we wanted to catch that on camera. These are just some snap shots I took of her. One in her pretty church dress and another in her blessing outfit that actually fits her now!


Isn't her hair adorable in this picture! I love that she has a faux-hawk! (I didn't realize I was also taking a picture of my foot...lower left corner if you didn't notice!) Mom is finishing up the dress that she's sewing me and I'm watching the Bourne Identity--love those movies! I've also been spending time this weekend sending out tons of resumes to be an apartment manager here in the Portland area. If I get a job doing that then I can stay at home to be with Ruth and still be making money, huzzah! So, we'll see what happens. Our future is still up in the air and we are trying to get any work that's out there come April when Brad graduates.

Apparently picture taking wore this baby out! I love her chunky legs and ballet slipper socks! Can you tell I'm obsessed with headbands?
