My dad’s visit was really wonderful. The kids enjoyed getting to know their grandpa. And Ruby loved that Grandpa would talk and play with her… Check out that “reaching for the ball” stuff. Pffft. And some said she’d never do anything – can you imagine – how absurd!!?…. Clearly there was some serious interaction going…

I have to laugh to myself… The Lord is completely amazing. I grew up in the city, but every single day longed for the country.

Since Princess Ruby rode her royal chariot home she has been sleeping. Did you know it’s actually rumored that Ruby’s chariot often doubles at odd hours as a big ol’ 12 passenger van that has food particles ground into the carpet, zillions of fingerprints on the windows, and smells kind of funky?
