sweet ruby...

since we don't have the internet at home it's a little tough for us to update as much as we'd like... luke and rockie have been so great at putting "ruby news" on their blog, so check here:

so say we all

and you might just find the latest pictures or videos of her if they're not here. :)

p.s. thanks east coast mehaffie's for keeping everyone in the loop when we can't. <3

here's a little video of the girl very soon after her debut.

and here is a slew of pictures from the first few days....

a little puffy, but not too shabby after pushing a baby out of my body, if i do say so myself. :)

sweet girl in the warmer right after being born. look at that icky umbilical cord!

cute little heart-shaped thermometer.

aunt v taking it all in. what a help she was during ruby's birth!

already such a good dad... seriously.


the family!

the little peanut going for her first ride in the carseat.


just can't get enough.

going for a ride in the amazing sling mimi made.


daniel couldn't wait to try it out.

a little nervous about the no hands idea.


and lastly, a little sleep in the bassinet that's been used by every baby in my family since i was born. what a sweet girl we made. :)

well, there will be a lot more stories and pictures to come, but that's all i have the energy to put up for now. thanks to everyone who has loved and been excited about the arrival of ruby madeline. she's is already such a joy and we're more thankful than i can type for the Lord's blessing of a speedy deliver and a healthy baby girl.
