Nine Months

Our sweet Ruby girl turned 9 months on Saturday! It was a great day as the Hawks had an awesome come-back to beat Pittsburgh! Although Ruby's shirt is hard to see, she's sporting a pink-sequined Hawkeye onesie. The pictures below seem to portray her attitude throughout the game!

Ruby still only has two teeth. She is crawling all over the place - she likes to follow me around! She is starting to pull up on some things. She loves her bath, rough-housing with her daddy, and being held by mommy!

Ugh...the Hawks are losing...

Yay! The Hawks finally scored!

Oh boy, this game is making me nervous!

Woo hoo! The Hawkeyes WIN!!!!!

And just a few other pictures as of late...

Jon, Stef, and Sydney were able to spend the night at our house on their way to Fargo, ND.

...and Happy Birthday to Papa Gary!

Road trip to Iowa City

This past weekend we traveled to Iowa City to stay with Jon, Stef, and Sydney for a few nights. We had a great time with them just hanging out and relaxing. One of the nights we were able to meet up with our good friends Scott, Nicole, and their little girl Lauren as well as our friends Evan and Jen. Although life in Sioux Falls is treating us well, we sure do miss these people!

For the past couple of years the Van Heukelom boys have given each other ridiculous gifts when it comes to birthdays and Christmas... thus the Vikings "beard heads" above. Luckily, the girls weren't even phased by their dads' goofiness.

Ruby absolutely LOVED being around Sydney! She tried very hard to keep up with her all weekend long! It was a very hard task for her though! :)

Sydney likes her hair "wild" but we talked her into wearing one of Ruby's flowers for just a couple of pictures. These two sure do take some cute pictures!
