On Wednesday, there was a garage fire at the house behind ours. There were firefighters crawling all over it and hacking into it with their axes. The flames got pretty high after this, so we were pretty scared that it would take down the back fence and trees. It died down though, and all was better for us. Nothing harmed except their garage.
I was able to get a cute pic of Mike and the girls, notice the scratch on his cheek from Ruby. It was pretty deep. He finally didn't make a wierd face for the camera, drives me crazy.
Elsie is pushing around her new walking toy like crazy. So fun to see her take steps all on her own.
On Thursday, Elsie crawled up the stairs all on her own while we were at a playdate. This was a first, since we don't have any steps to crawl up at our house. I was amazed to watch her crawl up three steps all on her own!
We went to some EWU jazz at Gatto's that night and had a good time. Ruby loved riding an old play horse they have and Elsie LOVED the music. She clapped and bounced with it, just so excited. Not scared at all by the loudness of it all.
On Friday, I went to Angie's to work out a bit and then headed straight over to my new bible study group. Ruby wouldn't go into the other room with all the kiddos, but it was okay because they had all sorts of fun stuff to play with right in the room. She played quietly while we chatted, but did have to go to the bathroom a couple times. The bathroom was so far away, so I missed some of the discussion, bummer.
We then went home and I tried to get some good snapshots of Ruby and Elsie outside to send in for the beautiful baby contest. I took some really pretty ones. Unfortunately, the website kept saying they were too small??? So I never got them in on time. We then went to town and walked around Costco with Marsha. Ruby just loves her so much. Marsha loves to carry Ruby everywhere, and Ruby just enjoys every minute of it. They also hold hands. It was very helpful too, since Ruby stays right with Marsha and I was able to get a ton of shopping done.
Saturday was a busy day for sure. Mike went to solo ensemble and took first with his percussion students. He was really proud. We met up with him for lunch at the mall and then stayed for a long time walking around and window shopping. Ruby played a bit at the play area there too. It was fun, but exhausting!
Today, we went to church. Ruby was really hard there today. She just isn't taking to the childcare area. Mike has been going with her and slipping out. Today she would not let him go and was really upset the entire time. The sermon was awesome, sad he missed it. The pastor that usually runs the sermon was back after a 5 week long time in Turkey. He was really neat. After it all was done, we went to Mt. Spokane and went snowtubing with Ruby. We made it just in time to catch the last session. So fun. Elsie didn't like the wind in her face though, but looked adorable in her snow suit. Ruby went down the hill 8 times, 4 times with each of us. I didn't think we both would go, but Mike said we should try it. We both took turns with her. Loved the tow rope that would bring us back up to the top. Mike thought something was wrong with the Durango, so we ended up leaving a bit early. It is fine, thank goodness.
Elsie is such a little ham these days. She cuddles right into me and gives everyone a cute smile and look. She is just the funnest baby, loves to giggle with all of us and play peek a boo behind things. She is eatting more things now too. She loved a rice dish I made the other day and couldn't get enough of it. She kept tensing all up and squeezing her tray and making noises like she wanted more. Love it!
