Once again, I'm behind. I think that I should probably just accept this as a fact of life... especially when my life includes a very precocious 8-month old!
I can't believe how much she seems to be changing and growing on a weekly basis (I know I sound like a broken record!). She really never ceases to amaze me. Our life is just soooo much nicer now that she is sleeping through the night consistantly. The really ironic thing is that her first night going to sleep well on her own and sleeping through the night was on New Year's Eve. This is especially amazing since I was pretty sure we were right smack dab in the middle of WWIII. The fireworks were absolutely insane! It was like a hundred "grand finales" going on all around us with fireworks whizzing past every window. I actually had quite a hard time getting to sleep and I usually drop like a log. Anyhow, noise and lights were no problem for our Ru and she didn't even wake up until past 8am! What a treat!
I did want to post a picture or two of our big snow storm the week after Christmas. It was a lot of snow, especially when you don't have the luxury of a car with 4-wheel drive-- or a car at all for that matter! For about three days it just kept snowing and they didn't even come down our street with a plow until it had stopped. I don't think any adults even left their homes unless they were supervising sledding excursions. So, the chances of getting our stroller through were nil. It actually was really nice though. Jared was home for the week and we spent almost entire days in our pajamas just puttering around the house. Fiddling with the computer, watching movies, playing with Ruby-- really nice!
This last week my sisters, Alyssa & Christina, came to visit. We have managed to brave the cold weather to see a church, a palace, and a castle. This morning though, Ruby woke up with a fever, so we're going to be doing indoor things tomorrow. Ruby has loved having her "aunties" around and acted like she remembered them instantly! Jared and I will get to have another date night this week while they are here, which we are of course looking forward to.
Well, I better challenge my sisters to a quick card game before I hit the sack. Hope everyone is having a wonderful Lord's Day!

Bethany,
I have been waiting to see pictures of Alyssa, Christina and Ruby! I am glad that the girls are there and that you are having fun. Tons of snow...all of ours has melted! 42 degrees here today...too wierd for January in WI!
Sorry it took so long to get these pictures up from my sister's visit! My camera is out of good batteries, so it seems we're always out or almost out of juice.
