Day 817 - Hot Dog

Day 928 - Halloween

This Halloween, Ruth went as Little Red Riding Hood, thanks to a ridiculously cute coat we found cheap at the consignment store. Her friend Larry went as a giraffe.

Day 920 - More from the Cider Mill

That slide hill isn't as tall as M makes it out to be. And the band is the one Ruth was dancing to in pictures from the previous post.

Day 882 - Trike-a-Thon!

In September, Ruth's new school (the Y) held a "trike-a-thon" to raise money for St. Jude's Children's Hospital. Ruth did her best (but man, her classmate Addy can ride!). I was able to attend, and I mostly ended up pushing Ruth's scooter around the track while she balanced on it. By the end, she managed to at least start getting the idea of pushing herself along.

Day 880 - Happy Birthday Grammy!

This year, my mother (and father) was in China on her birthday. So we took this photo of Ruth with the characters for "happy birthday" (thanks, Google Translate!) on her chalk board and sent it to her.

Day 844 - Kinder Farm Park

A few times now, we've taken Ruth out to Kinder Farm Park. M had taken her there for the first time because she was looking for a place - following Ruth reading about these things in a Dora book - that had cows, a silo, and a windmill.

But in the end, Ruth preferred the goats.

Day 824 - The Infamous Bench

Ruth used to love sitting on this bench for a bit before heading home from Miss Tyra's (Little Scholars).
