Wow

I just want you to know that I am so so so proud of you and how you are growing. You are smart and funny, dedicated and determined to do your best, as close to perfectly as you can. 

You are great with your siblings, sharing everything and always a good sport about compromising. 

You hold fast to promises and dreams. I hope you stay with your beautiful and loving heart and it steers you to be strong but stay caring. 

I love you beyond words. My Ruby.

Schoolwork

Your schoolwork expectations are much more intense this year, but daddy helps you a lot, and grandma too. 

$20

So I sent you to your school book fair with a $20, the only cash I had. 

I said you spend $10, and bring me back the other half in change. 

You spent an impressive $19.97, brought home the 3 cents, and told me I could have half of it. 

Ha!!!

My little helper

You and I helped to unload 2,000 pumpkins at church and then we had a special date at Sweet Frog. 

So this is happening. :)
