Ain't No Sunshine

Last Thursday I went to the cabin with some girlfriends for a scrapbooking/ladies' weekend and it was glorious. The weather was beautiful. Warm mountain breeze coming through the windows and everything.

But I have to be honest. Something was missing.


And her name is Ruby.


Seriously, when she's not around I feel just a little off, though I might actually be a little
less stressed (because let's face it, she can be the teeniest, tiniest whiner nearly ALL THE TIME).

She's my shadow. My girl. My favorite little lady. My raison d'etre as well as my raison d'insanite
(I minored in French, okay? It's okay if I make up French words because I don't really remember any).

She's also my comic relief from the all-too-familiar stresses of motherhood.
Yesterday at lunch I was harping on her and Henry to eat and she looks at me with those big eyes and funny smile and says, "You. Are. Driving. Me. Crazy!"

In short, Ruby's funny little personality is my sunshine.

She is darling! I got your message on my blog. I need your email address so that I can invite you. You can email me at joomoolynn at yahoo dot com and I will get you all set up. Hope you guys are doing really well.

We are liking New York aside from the cold. Aaron is just wrapping up his first year of residency and will start Anesthesia this next year. Everything is going well!

Talk to you soon

Word to my lady! She's a special girl. I can't wait until the cousins reunite at the cabin in a few weeks, it's going to be chaos at its finest! Holla

Ruby sounds like my little Ella. Can't live with 'em- wouldn't be able to live without them. LOVE little girls, right? ;)
