We blessed Ruby on Sunday. I loved wrapping my not so little baby up in my blanket that I bought in Bethlehem years ago, while she was wearing a beautiful 100 year old vintage blessing gown that my thoughtful mother in law bought in Wales when she picked John up from his mission. I got teary snapping the buttons up the back while my own grandma held Ruby. This little girl is lucky- she (and John and I and the rest of our little munchkins) has quite the support group, and for that we feel most blessed. Thanks everyone for a great day. 
It was a great Sunday filled with family, friends and spectacular food. And after the festivities were over and the house emptied out I realized just how tired I was. All of my kids were asleep by 7:30pm and John and I crawled up on the couch and watched the jazz game. I started looking through my pictures of the day and realized that there were none of John and I together. So we took one. I need to be better about taking pictures I suppose. Less talking, more picture taking? 
I believe I was asleep approximately 10 minutes later. What a beautiful day.

Ruby looks so much like Sophie in the picture of her smiling on the bed. That dress is so cute, as is the story behind it.
Congrats to a wonderful and beautiful family!
