Ruby update
This has been one epic summer. Ruby went back to school yesterday and it’s just amazing to see how much she’s grown. When she started Petite Montessori, she was just 2 yrs (and 10 mos) old. Now, she’s almost 5!
She certainly turned into quite a fish over the summer as well. She has always loved the water, but now she is swimming halfway across the big pool and turning to the side to breathe! She even got brave and ran off the diving board without a lifejacket at swim lessons this summer! She is truly oozing with confidence when it comes to the pool.
She’s also made some significant strides with her violin. She has been working on “Mary Had a Little Lamb” and “Hot Cross Buns”. She’s getting there, but the most impressive thing to me is that she is completely reading music now. Its amazing to see … we’re just so proud of the drive she has to learn this and how dedicated she is with practicing!
She likes eating cucumbers now, her favorite place to go is the beach, and she’s officially obsessed with Star Wars. She’s rivaling her dad when it comes to trivia … and she’s even building a reputation amongst her friends …
Hangin’ at the beach with daddy.
It’s been a fun summer and we’re sure it will be a great year for this spunky little girl we call our daughter. She’ll be 5 in less than two months!

We made one final kitschy stop at Pancake Circus in Sacramento before heading on the final leg of our (almost) 3-week tour. We can’t ever pass up a chance to marvel at some mid-century awesomeness! We’re glad we went, but um … the food was pretty terrible.
Now we’re back and we’re still marveling over all the places we’ve been! Trying to create a map showing all our stops … stay tuned.
Practicing the A-string and E-string
Ruby begged Daddy to help her play her violin tonight and after about 10 minutes, she learned the A-string and E-string. I know nothing about either of the two, but I can’t help but feel proud of my four year old for knowing the difference!
Violin lessons are on the horizon, but for now its fun to watch Daddy show her the ropes. For the sake of documentation, this is the first ever violin duet by Ruby and Daddy!
Interview with a Four Year Old!
We are so, so, so behind on this blog! But, today was Ruby’s birthday, and we had to post her “interview”. More pics and posts coming later (we hope), but for now, here’s where Miss Ruby’s at on the eve of her 4th year:
