Lately it's been cold here...the last couple days have been below zero! We're hoping our blood thickens so we can get used to this weather again. Ruthie seems to enjoy the outdoors and snow (although there is a picture above that would suggest otherwise). Also, I celebrated my birthday yesterday...Ruthie bought me some granola bars. Very thoughtful of her since they're my favorite and they don't sell them in some stores here (Brad bought them while he was in Texas last week). It's also nice to have babysitters so willing and accessible...my parents babysat Ruthie nearly the entire day! Brad and I haven't had that long of a date since before she was born. We had a good time, even though it was freezing out :)
