1096 days later...

Today is our 3rd wedding anniversary. In a way it's hard to believe that our fateful day was 3 whole years ago. In another way, it's hard to believe it wasn't 10 years ago :)

We've enjoyed the hard work of owning a home, supporting ourselves, becoming parents, and meanwhile learning to love each other the way that God intended. Marriage is a blessing. Some days it can be less than rainbows and butterflies, but compromise moves us along and makes the good days that much sweeter.

All in all it is hard work. But it's hard work worth doing and it is a priviledge to be the wife of this wonderful man.

The Horror of the Water

Swimming lessons didn't go so well. In fact, we couldn't even make it through the whole 30 minutes. It was a pretty funny thing to watch. Now, of course, we're not in favor of tramatizing our daughter, but come on...it's Mommy/Daddy and Me swimming! Ruby screamed the whole 15 minutes she did last in the water and then we called it quits. We'll try again Wednesday.

Swimming Lessons Begin

Ruby starts swimming lessons tonight at the YMCA Aquatic Center.
Ella, Andrea and Chauncey Barkes will be in class with us to learn all about baby swimming :)
Ruby hasn't loved the water in the past so we are crossing our fingers that she'll gain some confidence through the lessons.
