Oh Dear.

The other day, she said, "Daddy, you don't understand me."

And yes, those are press on nails...


For someone who doesn't sleep, she sure has a lot of energy...

Pay close attention to the clips in her hair. The girl loves accessories...

Tree Decorating

Today we put up the tree. Here is Rubie decorating/dropping the ornaments...

Here is some of her handy work. She likes the "clustered" look. Some of the ornaments aren't even hanging, they are just balancing on the branch...

Who says one per branch?...


As we put up the tree today, we had Bobbie in our thoughts (my mom's best friend, and a part of our family).

Thankful

National Adoption Awareness Month

Without adoption, I wouldn't know this little person that likes to pick out her own shoes (and wear them on the wrong feet)...

I wouldn't know this little person that likes to do "Kung Fu" because she plays with the boys at school...


And, I wouldn't know this little person that wears 3 aprons. yep, 3.

I also wouldn't know the girl that goes to baby showers and thinks that the mom to be "ate the baby." -"How did she get in there, then?"

I'm grateful for adoption.

Thanksgiving Art

Today, Rubie came home with this lovely hat and necklace. I held up the necklace to get a closer look and Rubie said, "I ate the noodles off."

yep, that explains it...


Her Thanksgiving card said, "Rubie is thankful for God." I asked her who God was, and she said, "He is a very tall man that shines. I know him from preschool."
