Grateful for Grandmothers

Well, this week we have received all kinds of help from all the Grandmothers yet again! And we are so grateful...RuthAnne particularly has been excited for some extra grandparent time! Today, after I finished vacuuming the kitchen this is what I found:
RuthAnne was all dressed up like this and standing at the front door telling me that she was going to Nana and GrandBob's. :-)

And yesterday GrandMama came over to help me take RA to get a haircut, of which she was in DESPERATE need! Here are a couple pictures of her new do.

Valentines Day

Well, I did do better this year than last year! Robbie and I do not, and never have, celebrated Valentines Day because both of our birthdays are within 2 weeks of this "holiday--we have choosen to do a combined birthday celebration instead...so ANYWAY...last year, I totally forgot that I should probably do something for RA for Valentines Day! Oops! This year though, she had a special Valentines shirt (which I don't have pictures of, sorry about that) and here she is opening her presents. I guess we will have to count this one as her first real Valentine's Day...below are some highlights...
See her holding her baloon? It was helium, but she didn't understand that she didn't have to hold on to it for it to stay close by. She kept a hold on it most of the day!

Ma-Marks!
Here she is with her cards received from family and friends. Thanks so much for all the cards! You can see that she really enjoys them. She will "read" them when she sits at the table. She has always been a card-lover! Hope everyone had a very happy week!

An "Arf"

Here are some pictures of RA's beautiful new "arf"! She is so proud of it. She wanted to wear it to bed! Aunt Emma made it for her.

We went home on Tuesday and here's GrandMama and RuthAnne...Do they look alike?
Emma came to stay the weekend with us (sighs of relief!). She's been such a help to me, especially since Daddy has had to work alot this week! We got some things cleaned up and I am all packed for the hospital, AND we went shopping! What fun! I loved both these pictures of RA and Emma because I think their eyes look just alike! RA sure loves her Aunt Emma!





Comparison






Okay, by request...pregnant pictures! I am so bad at this...I have been finishing up RA's Baby Book and I could only find 3 pictures of me pregnant. Will will not have many more. The top picture is from RA it was taken at 36 weeks and the bottom one is from today (35 weeks). So there you have it! :-) You can decide if I am bigger, but please no disparaging comments! I'm much too far along for that! :-)
