Happy Birthday Henry and Ruth

Another year has flown by and Henry is turning 7 (Dec. 18) and Ruth is turning 5 (Dec. 15). How do I have a 7 and 5 year old already? I still feel like I’m 16 some days. In these past 7 years, I have learned so much. I have learned that Henry is sensitive, a true perfectionist, has a slight temper, loves eggs and will try any food, is extrememly coordinated, likes to get shots at the doctor, is a fabulous artist, makes me laugh everyday and has a very sweet heart. With Ruth, I have learned that patience is a virtue which I am working on, candy is the new food group and a child can survive on gummy vitamins, she’s smart, witty and loves babies, especially her baby brother George, she is a big helper and loves to dance, and is crazy good at working a puzzle and misses Henry when he is at school. These two, plus their little brother (not pictured because he was asleep!) are our world. This is what life is all about, the people, and I adore and love these little people with all my being. Happiest Birthday to 2 of my 3 favorite kids:) Love, mama.
