Ruthie is Calvin's kind of gal! Smiles, giggles, and physical feats. :)
BTW, the sweater of Calvins that you had asked about was a hand-me down. (A total score!) It is obviously hand knit, and has a zipper up the back (with a cute tassle) that goes from bottom to half way up the hood. It makes the sweater so you can just kind of walk into it. It is his favorite sweater. The yarn is acrillic, but I would love to try to knit one in a cotton-wool blend. I am currently on the lookout for the pattern (though not actively looking yet, I confess). Just keepin' my eyes open. It is a great sweater.
Miss you Clements! Hope to make a trip to CO in the next year or so, perhaps we can reunite! (also, a long shot, but we will be in Auburn for Thanksgiving...)
This made me laugh today! I had a little girl that always wanted to climb like this, even when little. The thing that always amazed me is that she would keep going even when she got hurt. Climb to the top of the couch, fall off, get hurt, and then do it again anyway. Is Ruthie like that? She is certainly quite a climber!
So cute! I love her little laugh. Our boys watched with me and twenty-month John was just chucking and babbling about "see baby". Don't you love how they never realize that they are small too?
The ringleader of chaos and fun, master of the domestic arts, mother to three beautiful, laughing girls and one wonderful husband, reveler in all things minute and daily.
Husband, father, student of civil engineering, the master gardener and bread baker in the house and loves when he gets to go for a good, hard bike ride.

Six year old lover of all the delightful details of life. Tree climber, bike rider, rock climber, gardener, Mama snuggler, artist, reader, best friend to her sisters, a kindhearted compassionate girl who knows herself and stands secure and confident in who she is with her feet planted strongly in the natural world around her.

Five years old, full of spunk, adventure and daring. She loves to snuggle, gives hugs freely and is probably the most social of the three. She is always thinking about those around her and if you need a babysitter she will follow your little one around untiringly and keep them out of trouble. She loves riding her scooter, swinging high, any art project, and is always ready to lend a helping hand. She won't be left behind if you are going out the door.

The cutest, smiliest, most independent 3 year old around, has mastered climbing and is trying to learn to ride her two wheel bike so she can ride 'all by herself' to pick up her sisters at school. She laughs easily, especially at the antics of her silly sisters. Favorite pasttimes are playing in the hammock and building with blocks and lincoln logs.

Ruthie, that ladder doesn't go all the way to heaven. There's better ways to meet Jesus.
okay, let's see if I did wrong what I think I did wrong and if this comment works.
That is the best video. Thanks so much.

Mom, you are right, during the day I mostly have to turn the chair on its side if I don't want to be right there to supervise:)
