Daddy Post: So Ruby gets a great new outfit from Grandma Joan and is all geeked up getting to go to school in it. Things go a little down hill from there with us getting a call that Ruby had bonked her head on a play structure at the local playground. There was a bit of blood, but Ruby was a total trooper the whole way through. At the doctor's office we had to apply some topical anesthetic on the wound before getting a shot with more anesthetic and then, for the grand finale, four staples. The doctor and nurse probably thought I was a terrible dad exploiting my daughter's misfortune for a few sensational pictures and calling her Frankenstein. Again, Ruby didn't shed a single tear and was good to go. We actually had a very fun father/daughter afternoon. The staples come out on Thursday. Hopefully I can keep them and put them alongside Marty's wisdom teeth. In the future, the Stockton museum will need such artifacts.
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.
