Baby Sitting Update

September 25, 2009

Yesterday, Bridget and Ruby came by for a visit at Plum Court. And we had delightful and fun hour or so. Today, I went over to their house to watch Ruby while dad worked upstairs and mom went to a doctor’s appointment. The absence of mom was very upsetting to little Ms R. And I [...]

Baby Sitting

September 11, 2009

Probably best baby sitting session yet. Long walk with no carrying . . . after Ruby pulled on her own boots. And I think she indicated she want to get on a passing bus! I am not sure where the #25 would have taken us. Very little fussing about “ma ma” being missing.

Birthday Party

August 4, 2009

Had a great afternoon/evening at AB&R’s yesterday. Bridget made her world famous crab cakes and we had cupcakes (mine had one candle on it — guess they couldn’t fit the other 64 atop the Whole Foods chocolate wonderfulness). Ruby made sure she got a piece. Couldn’t ask for a better way to celebrate. More photos [...]
