Miss Ruby Noelle Has Arrived

Ruby Noelle Nohner, 10-25-14  

Week one…….all  5 lbs. 11 oz. of her may have us wrapped in her spell for the rest of her life.

Reading is always good

First bath is shocking!

Looking at Spencer 

Awake with Mama

Asleep with Uncle Mitch

First walk--sweet family :D

I love this (I love these three)

They took a picture and made a welcome sign on my bed :D

Baby toes

We call this a "dolphin gown"--Nick and Nicki went to buy preemie gowns--these are too big!

Yes-this is posed, but moments before, they did all do this!! (Grandma Laura, Nick and Nicki)

Cozy!

 Halloween with Ruby

Laura prepares some pumpkins (and caramel apples and cider :D)

Dressed  for Halloween

We spent a quiet afternoon together………

OMG

We had dinner by the fireplace and waited for trick or treaters….they did come..which was rare and we loved it!

 Wednesday Adams and her boyfriend celebrated Halloween on the streets after 10 pm rather than those of us  hitting the sack early back on Missouri Avenue :D

Literally good at dressing up and not smiling for the camera --I love these guys :D

Saturday--game day

Starting to love her daisy bath

We took a walk and toured some fun local neighborhoods getting into the spirit

While the home team caught up on some zzzzzz's

A fabulous farmers Market with Torrey and Mitch 

I just loved the subtle colors…..we bought goat cheese for the NU game and some flowers for the house…

Family portraits in afternoon light  :D

Life is good,  Ruby

Radiant Mama

Sunday morning…8 days old!…….

5 am with Ruby -listening intently to "spa" playlist

Letting her stretch he legs a little

We all love this particular hat :D

Like a good dad, Nick wants her bundled under my sweater because that "blanket looks too thin"

Smiling in her sleep with mama

Five days after I left, the kids sent this picture--she has a healthy glow and a little twinkle  in those eyes…..in Grandma Laura's little hat

Nicki and Ruby

See you at Thanksgiving sweet Ruby!
