Update

Well I'm sure you all caught the big chunk of video we got uploaded last night. There's tons of good stuff in there. Ruby is walking, talking, and havin' a good time. We just enjoyed a great weekend with Aunt Maggie, though the weather wasn't cooperating with our plans to do things outside.

It's been fairly rainy here in the last two weeks, but things should clear up soon and we'll transition right into summer. Though there is a pretty big event on the horizon before we get to that....

Someone's going to be turning one year old! We're two weeks to the day from the 1 year mark with Ruby Ann Hill. There's no way that's right. I realize that things start to move fast when you get older, but good grief! One year? This time last year I was worried about driving from Tennessee to Iowa in the middle of the night if Jessica went into labor. Little did I know that someone had other plans to be a little late to the game.

Almost one year ago Jessica became a Drake Law graduate, we packed up the house and moved to Tennessee, and Ruby made her appearance at long last. She's almost 4 times the weight she was when she left the hospital, and we've grown a pretty significant amount in height. She's taller than some of her 14-15 month old friends.

Jessica and Ruby have been keeping a pretty regular morning play/walking date at the Oak Ridge marina with some friends, and Ruby just continues to enjoy the outdoors. We finally had to break down and mow the yard - I think we were the last ones in the neighborhood. With all the rain, there's no way I can wait that long to mow again.

We hope everyone had a great Mother's Day, Jessica's gift from me was a Wii Fit, and Ruby got her a movie that she's been wanting to see. Hopefully this week the stove gets fixed and I can make her a belated Mother's Day dinner.

This has been Jason reporting live tonight from the basement at the Hill household in Tennessee. Signing off.
