Okay, I suck

I really did have big plans to share our Australian adventure with you all via our blog. But then about four months in to it I thought, "it's not like I ever share pictures or call anyone when I'm at home, so why stress about it now?" If I cared to share my life with any of you, I'd just come home. And so we are. :) In 2 1/2 weeks. We are so home sick, we can hardly wait. Luckily, we have our dear jax and stafford coming over play in the meantime.

But the thing I have missed telling you all about is Ruby and the darndest things she says. I really do adore her too much for anyone's good. And Dave adoreth even more. I don't know why the world isnt tripping over itself trying to be her friend.

Her latest is self affirmations. I'm not talking about affirming her worth or her beauty or her virtue. It's just simple affirmation: "I'm Ruby Cole Crockett and I'm not tired." "I'm Ruby Cole Crockett and I want eggs for breakfast." "I'm Ruby Cole Crockett . . . Where's Jude?" we're talking 8 or 9 times a day. I like to flatter myself into believing I have my finger on the pulse of her thoughts, but this one I just can't make sense of. Have I called her too many nicknames that she's overloaded?
