Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for Ruby's giggles.  They are just the sweetest little things.  Whenever I hear her little twinkling laugh I am overcome with the desire to make her laugh again.  Her face contorts into the cutest little cheeky grin and her little thumb sucking buck teeth pop out.  I am always amused at how she can detect quicker than any of my other kids when I have a treat in my hand.  Its like she can smell it and comes waddling over to me with her palm out without a doubt in the world that Ill give her some of my spoils.  And I do.  She gets into such mischief though.  I'm afraid she will probably drive me insane someday.  Man, I love that little monkey! 

As promised I have supplied you with pictures of the results of my folly.  My curiosity got the better of me and my charm got the better of Andy and I convinced him after a week of being sick and not shaving to shave a goatee.  I think he looked quite dashing but I'm pretty sure I think he would look dashing anyway.  In the end he didn't like it and I wasn't so in love with it to try to have him keep it so he shaved but here is the pictures either way.  I made him do a silly side pose - so serious!

 I am thankful for the lovely winter wonderland snow we got last week.  I am certainly looking forward to seeing more sun and having spring come and even now the sun is shining and the snow is gone.  I don't miss it but it sure looked pretty while it was here.
