As of Late

First off, let me just express my joy that Brenner is finally done with his surgery rotation! Woohoo!! He's now ending his 3rd year of medical school doing family medicine which is great because there's no call and he gets to have a fairly typical work schedule. That being said, we spent our first Saturday together in about 10 weeks and it was amazing! We went up past Strawberry on the rim and hiked the Cabin Loop trail to some really cool dilapidated cabins that forest rangers used to live in back in the day. There was a beautiful spring that hugged most of the trail and we were underneath big trees and walked through gorgeous meadows. The best part of it all, besides having my husband back, was that Ruth was such an amazing sport! She did great in her baby backpack. We've taken her hiking many times in that contraption but never for this long and she was so funny in it. She takes after both of us and our love for the outdoors. Anyway, I could go on and on about how wonderful yesterday was but it's ok, I'll just post some pictures since I'm sure that's what you'll want to see anyway.

 Oh look! A Horn Toad.

 We signed on our first house! Oh wait...

 I love him. And I love spending time with him. And... I love him.

 

This is her being "sweet" She lays her head down on the closest thing to her when we say, "Ruth, be sweet!"

You know it's been a good day when your onesie is covered in dirt.
