flashback...for friends who never saw me huge!

i got somethin to say

so hey guys whats happenin? its me Ruby, you know the cute lady in all the pics!

my mom said now that im a whole 4 months it would be ok for me to start blogging when im up for it.

so life sure is good and pretty busy sometimes. my days usually start with dad waking me up and singing me songs; my favorite being 'alloutte'. can you believe he sings me a song about a bird and plucking it's feathers! what a silly guy, but golly gee i sure love that song...it makes me smile no matter how mad i decide to be...works like a charm everytime.

after picking out some clothes for me (usually jeans and a t-shirt cuz thats his fav) we hop in the car to work. when i get there its always crazy! Everyone cooking, talking, laughing and being goofy. Dolores is my favorite with her big smiles and super happy greetings; im still not sure why she always calls me 'gordita'...I think these jeans make me look good.

While daddy puts me in the bijorn and makes his coffee i do a check up on all the employees and take mental notes of who isnt doing their job properly and ways to improve the business for our evening meetings. mom always gives me kisses and smells like muffins and scones, yum OH ....i can't wait for my chance to chomp on those!

so we hang out at work sometimes for a bit and then mom and i get to go home and play...eat...sleep. i try to eat about everything i can get my hands on and im always havin fun. thats about it. until next time, a bientot, a dios!

ps. isnt touching your toes the coolest! its my new favorite passtime!

ruby sandwich

caught on camera having a delicious ruby sandwich over the fourth of july weekend. mighty tasty i might say. poor kid...puts up with her crazy parents:)

summertime blues...

so the title of this blog sound sad but really it is not my current sentiment. i was just thinking lately how summertime is such a dull, quiet, blasted hot time...when not one eats at Palatte, and all can seem low but in reality lately I have just been overwhelmed with thanks for the wonderful family of three that I am in right now. everyday it never ceases to excite me and make me smile from ear to ear when i see Ruby's bobbly, smiley, sleeply little head pop in in Ed's arms to the restaurant as Im putting pastries in the case. sometimes she hasnt made it out of her pj's or sometimes Ed may have spent his entire morning plotting out her cute outfit for the day....meanwhile forgetting to perhaps comb his own hair...:) anyhow, no matter how challenging it all is, wondering why we put so much effort into our food and Matt's Big B still gets the best of everything; ultimately I really just feel blessed to have been given what I have. so in the midst of summertime blues, I stay focused on the next cutest thing Ruby might do to make me giggle (such as screaming loudly and smiling before off to bed now at night), or whatever it is that God has given. thats all for now; i am terrible at keeping up with this blog thing...i'll have to get better.

dress up

so i came to the realization the other day at ed's brother's house (b-day party for the kids) that all parents don't play dress up with their new babies. i just love those awkward moments when i am fully aware that our weirdness is coming out in public, ed is oblivious and still on the subject which may or may not be freaking out those listening, and i am silently observing while giggling inside. so we somehow got on the topic of how fun it is to dress up Ruby...in her cute bathing suit with matching sunglasses...as an old bag lady with pearls and all...and recently in a white onesie/leapord print bikini on top of that/socks up to her knees/ and hat and necklaces.....this outfit had no name but resulted in such an intense amount of laughter that Ruby pulled out the sad lip; you know the one...the lower lip comes out and you cant help but laugh. so no pics of that last outfit b/c I felt so bad about it i had to remove it quickly and give Ruby some squeezes since we were gettin out of hand. we just like to keep it real. peace out.
