ALONG CAME RUBY:

On Christmas Day we welcomed Ruby Jewel Hardwick into our family. I thought she looked like a Ruby and Sara wanted to call her Jewel from Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy. Luckily She was willing to settle for the middle name.

Ruby has been a sweet puppy. We love her but make no mistake she is just that.....a puppy. There has been lots of fun and tears as the girls adjust to their new nipping friend. The house is VERY picked up these days as she will eat anything in sight.

Here is a video for Andrea and Jana taken on Jan 12th to show how much she has grown.

We finished up Xmas with my folks a week later because their neighborhood was still buried in slush. We wanted to wait until we could bring both Grandmas over safely.

Here are some shots of our relaxing time.

Pat was the most relaxed of all I believe.

The girls were tickled with their new fancy dolls.

Oh....my darling Sara.
