North Country

 

We are heading north tomorrow for Michigan. We are going to my friend Mary's wedding (one of my roomie's while in Philly) and then to see friends from high school/college. For now, here is a picture of Ruby at my favorite restaurant (North End Cafe) hanging out in her cowboy boots (from her friend Lily). We will be back next week.

Brewing

 

 

 

 

If you have been reading our blog since I started it almost a year ago you would remember that Brian likes to brew beer at home as a hobby. Due to me being on bedrest and us getting used to a new baby this was put on the back burner. Well, this month he has been able to get back into it. I don't know much about it but I am sure if you google homebrew or something you will learn lots. Here are some pic's of us bottling his stout last weekend. I am filling the bottles and Brian is capping them. No, Ruby didn't help...she was in the next room (in our sight) working on her crawling skills! Enjoy!

Crawling Showdown

Does she want her toys enough to crawl? Stayed tuned for the video tomorrow.

Down by the River

Last weekend we had a nice visit from Brian's parents. We went down by the river and his Dad took some great pictures of Brian and Ruby. Here are some that I love.

Old Friends

Ruby got to meet some of my dear friends from highschool this weekend. Here are some pictures of us with my friend Missy. We spent a great day together catching up with Missy and her family.

Happy Father's Day

Cousins

Ruby hung out with her 18 month old cousin Holden today. Check out this video of him trying to feed her. Very Cute

Favorite Toys

I am sure you parents can relate to this one. Ruby loves playing with cups and bowls. They eventually all end up on the floor and we start all over again but these keep her busy for a long time. Also, notice that little play money bill that she has. She loves this thing...i think because it makes crackling noises.

3 months closer to 1 year!

9 month's old today! She gets more and more active everyday! We are truley blessed to have such a happy and sweet little girl.

Happy late 13th Birthday Alex!

Yesterday was our nephew Alex's birthday! Happy 13th and we are sorry that we missed it yesterday! Welcome to the teen years! Sorry for the old picture.

Night at the Ballpark

Last night we enjoyed a nice evening at the ballpark. Ruby got to experience her first BATS game. She was in a great mood the whole time and jumped when the crowd would start cheering.

Podcasts

Due to a lack of recent pictures and not much going on I am going to finish a topic that I started last week.

Brian and I have developed a great love for podcasts recently. Here is how wikipedia explains podcasts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasts

So, lately we have found a few new ones and thought we would share.

I like to listen to about 4 or 5 different ones but my faves are:
The American Life (thisamericanlife.org)

Dr. James Dobson on Parenting (family.org)

and my latest and current favorite is

Pediacast (pediacast.org) This is a podcast about everything under the sun related to children and pediatrics. I love it and so does Brian. The doctor that does the podcast is interesting and easy to listen to. I highly recommend this especially to new parents.

I was going to make Brian post his faves but I will do it for him. He likes to listen to
This American Life

The Byzantine Empire

ABC News

History of Christianity from the Reformed Seminary
