Date night!

Alex and I enjoyed a random weeknight date! We went to Hibiscus in Dallas...it was delicious. I had lobster and Alex had a nice short rib.

Thanks Macnabs for babysitting so we could enjoy an evening out!

Day at the zoo with Daddy

Alex took a random weekday off so we could all go to the zoo together (and avoid the crazy crowds at the weekends!). We had wonderful weather and got to see lots of animals. The zoo put out all sorts of fall and Halloween decorations which Ruby also enjoyed.

BEADS MAMA!

Ruby has always shown an interest in jewelry, but recently she's become even more excited about it. When I need to get dressed in the morning I will say, 'Want to play with beads?'. She squeels and runs to my room and points at the chest where I keep some old gaudy beads. I give her a handful and she puts the necklaces and bracelets on and looks at herself in the full length mirror. I hardly wear any jewelry so I don't know where she gets this from!


Anyways, she LOVES beads! I'm predicting she will absolutely love playing dress up when she gets a bit older!

Walker Shower

We recently attended a baby shower for the Walkers. They are expecting a boy named Evan in December.

Portraits of Ruby on a rusty truck

During our recent trip to a pumpkin patch we came across this neat old rusty truck. It made a neat setting for pictures of Ruby.

Her eyes are still blue.


She's often so serious and contemplative.




Pondering the pumpkins.





Striking a pose.

Another pumpkin patch!

I'm so glad there are so many pumpkin patches around. I love them!

All the fall scenery seems a bit strange though since it was nearly 90 degrees last week. Feels more like summer!

Ruby and her shopping cart

I bought Ruby this shopping cart at a garage sale. She likes it...as a riding toy. She's already taken one tumble out.
