Though fuzzy, it's the best of the dozen or so pictures I tried to take of all three children one afternoon. :) At least it captures Yehoshua's infectious grin, Eliyahu's big-boy mannerisms, and Ruth's chubby baby-doll look. ;)
Yehoshua (4) loves taking care of Ruth (4 months in this photo). Actually, both boys are big helpers and love Ruth very much. They're constantly entertaining her (and waking her up from naps -- grrr!) and always want to be near her... :)
And little Ruth, 5 months old... loves toys, tries to sit up, loves baths, plays peek-a-boo, giggles with us, loves being outside (what baby doesn't?!), and wears 6-9 month clothes these days...
She is just the sweetest little girl!! :) Ruth's cute jumper was a gift from my friend Tanya (see her little girl wearing an identical one over at her blog [1]!).
We've been busy with more strawberries, cherries, mulberries, peas, weeding our own garden, etc. etc... I'm dreadfully behind in answering email or doing about 50 other things, including housework... I have about 10 blog posts in my mind waiting to be written... thanks for your patience and for forgiving me when I'm scatterbrained and don't remember to answer all the questions, etc. left in comments! If it's urgent, email me again. :D
