Daddy Post: Happy Birthday U.S.A. and Happy Anniversary to us! A pretty traditional day beginning with a pancake feed in Lake Oswego. Ruby and Willa wore the colors well. The night ended early with Ruby's only real exposure to fireworks being those of the sparkler variety. This "fun" lasted until she inadvertently burned her hand causing it to blister a little. Parents of the year!! Well, it was fun while it lasted. Willa simply soaked it all in and is diligently taking notes on her big sister and what she can get away with as she grows older. Hope everyone had a great weekend.
Ruby Michele was born on Christmas Day, 2005 at 2:33 PM. She weighed 8 lbs., 14 oz. and was 20 1/2" tall. Willa Catherine was born on November 5 (England's Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night), 2007 at 6:33 AM. She weighed 8 lbs., 3 oz. and was 20 1/2" tall just like Ruby. Their parents are a very proud Matt and Marty. Ruby was named after Matt's Great-Grandma Ruby Anderson and Marty's Great Aunt Ruby Beebe. Her middle name is in honor of Marty's mom Michele. Willa is a female version of William which is also Marty's father and grandfather's name. Catherine is in honor of Matt's mom Joan. Willa Cather is also one of Marty's favorite authors. She can be called "Billie" for short. We will be posting on their blog, as they both have a few things to learn technology-wise.

Happy anniversary - You all look fantastic.
At least Ruby is learning the dangers of fireworks now with a sparkler, rather than later with roman candles or M80's.
Cheers
