May 8th, 20097:56am
17.5 inches
5 lbs. 12 oz.

Waiting for the operation

(after two births the "other way", I'm not going to lie, I'm not a fan of the c-section).

Proud Papa

Lucy got Ruby a doggy for a present for her Birthday!

Max loves to hold Baby Ruby,

he's still figuring out how exactly to hold her

(I caught him holding her upside down the other day).

Ruby & Oma

(Papa Brian was there, but I'm missing the picture)

Mimi & Ruby

Grandma Diane, Ruby, & Papa Rob

Ruby & Papa Dave

Auntie Annie & Baby Ruby

(Missing a pic of Uncle Bill)

Cousin Katie (Kimmie was there too, I don't have a pic yet)

My Best Bud Camille flew in to take care of me.

She told me all the things I was saying on drugs... I think she's making it up.

Two Kings + Three Queens = A Full House

(Especially in our small apartment)

Easter

Every year Josh's Aunt Liz & Uncle Drake have an Easter party at their house.

Score

Max and Lucy were equally thrilled with the hunt and the ladybugs.

The spoils

Chilling with Uncle Jake. Lookin good in that bandaid (he's been getting cancer removed)

Handprints

I had some paint left over from a project Lucy and I worked on for Thanksgiving. So since we were bored we decided to let our creative juices loose.

The both did a pretty good job.
I just wish you were here for the aftermath. The table and the carpet were nothing compared to the GREEN handprint right next to the front door. I cannot get that stain to budge.

A Visit to the Pool

Max is obsessed with swimming suits, for the longest time we had just one, we had to get more out of the 18 month box just so we had one for him to wear while the other was washing.

Some of Max's other favorite things include climbing and jumping and walking along this wall.

We have a sweet pool at our apartment, the kids are getting ready for a swim.

Lucy jumping over Daddy... what a diver!

Can you say "Drama Queen" or is it "Poser".

Lucy likes to take these little pomegranates and smoosh them all over the sidewalk.

The end of a nice swim

Where's the Doggy Bag

For some reason Max thinks Rico's food is also his food. He'll go into the bathroom and grab a handful and pop it in is mouth. It's nasty and I thought he'd get over it... Oh no, now he's moved on to drinking his water too.

Doesn't Max look pleased with himself!

Ride 'Em Cowboy!

Nighty night!

The kids have this fascination with hats and every now and then they will give me a fashion show. This particular evening they decided to be cowboys. Josh got in on the action... Hiyo Silver Away!

Cowboy Max

Cowgirl Lucy

Josh and I laughed so hard when we saw these two pictures. It seems we couldn't get a good shot of the two of them together. Either Lucy's face was funny or Max's.

Daddy giving horseback rides. I don't think he's thrilled about shirtless pictures on the internet, but what you gonna do.

Not sure why, but Max loves to put girlie hats on too. Isn't he adorable.!

Peter Piper Pizza (Say that 5 X fast)

MARCH 13th we went to Peter Piper Pizza with the Manuele's. We ended up spending 3 hours there. Shocking I know, but if you saw how quickly and well they went to bed you would think it was a great strategy.

The kids loved this Basket Ball game. Check out where Max is. We spent most of our time trying to keep him out of there.
We didn't even need tokens for this one. Max just got a kick out of sitting in it and turning the steering wheel.
Josh might have played as many games as the kids did.
