Grapefest 2010

Ruby and I met Lori and Maddie at Grapefest. We went on a weekday so it was free and less crowded!



Ruby and Maddie got to visit.



Maddie feeds Ruby.





We went in some of the cute girly boutiques on Main Street. Ruby was fascinated with this bracelet and bauble display. I bought her a sparkly pink bracelet for dress up days.

Visiting the fish at Cabela's

Ruby and I visited the fish at Cabela's. She gets so excited to watch them swim around in the tanks.

Walk to the spray park

Since the pools are now closed for the season we went to the neighborhood spray park to cool down.

Ruby walked a good stretch on the way home.

Mama sews Ruby a short sleeve dress

I've been practicing sewing this week. I figured out how to make a short sleeve dress and was pleased with how it came out! The print is a beautiful multi-color hot air balloon pattern.






Since Ruby can't wear hair bows I made her a pin on corsage.

Brunch with Jess and Avery

Last weekend we met Jess and her daughter, Avery, for brunch. It was nice to visit and see how much the babies have changed since we last met.

Ruby and the hay bales

Near our house there is a large field with a row of 30 or so round hay bales. It is such a neat setting for some photos!

We took these last weekend late in the day.



Alex did his special HDR technique on this one.

Ruby's hair at 16 months

Ruby is the baldest 16 month old I know.

However, just last week I discovered she has enough wisps of hair to hold a very small hairbow.





And, here is Ruby's hair in the sunlight...will she be a redhead or a strawberry blonde perhaps?
