happy days are here again

ruby's virus is gone! yippee!!! she is her delightful little self again, although much skinnier. that girl couldn't afford to lose weight, so now she looks like iggy pop (and she says iggy pop, which is pretty funny). poor bean. we're giving her anything she wants to eat in an effort to fatten her up. she has now had her first icecream cone. raspberry.

frances is the opposite of skinny. she has gotten so nice and juicy FAT! she's growing fast, and is very very strong. she's only 6 weeks old, and her head is still wobbly, but she wants to stand up all the time.

cute things: the creek near our house is completely dried up from the drought. we were walking in the creek bed and ruby said "maybe we could fill it up. we could bring our watering can and fill it up". my honey.

frances makes our hearts light. she takes time to lock eyes with us several times a day, just to give us some smiles, coos and goos and gurgles, and even some laughs. AND.....she sleeps for 4-7 hours IN A ROW, every night. we are happy parents (well, most of the time)
