Kitty with a long tail

Ruby made this at dinner tonight!

me and the babies

On Thursday I had the pleasure of spending

some time with 2 very special little girls.

I had lunch with Missy and my niece Ellie.

and coffee with the beautiful new addition

to my friend Autumn's family.

Can you stand how cute they are??

And the cheeks??

Thanks ladies for sharing your cuties with me.

She said, "No, I'd just like the gift of creation from your mind."

Then she said, "Why are you laughing?"

This morning I asked Ruby to make some paper circles with Hebrew letters to convert our regular plate into a Seder plate, and gave her the below picture. Ruby decided they should be pop-outs instead. A pretty professional job on the Hebrew, too!

We saw the sun..

so we went to the beach.

Another Mermaid

I have the little mermaid picture I posted a while back up in my closet. Ruby noticed it yesterday and noted that she doesn't draw that way anymore. I said she should make an updated version.

Rebel without a cause
