The Middle of the Night: Ruby Edition

Here is Ruby. Sweet, innocent, and a lot of laughs.


In the middle of the  night last night, Ruby comes into my room, approaches me, and says:

"I am so bored!"

I looked at the clock, and it was around 2am. How can somebody be bored at that time of day? Shouldn't she be sleeping? I was confused, and asked her what she meant. She just keep saying, "I am so bored in bed."

So, naturally, not wanting this to continue, I tell her to go use the washroom and head back to bed.

Next thing, after she grumbles and heads to the washroom, I hear her on the toilet, complaining...

"Ohhh! It's so boring at night!"

Now, I was starting to get a kick out of this, and even chuckled to myself as I fell back asleep. I don't know how much longer she was up, but a few minutes later, she came back in with her water bottle, needing the top unscrewed, so she could fill it up. I dozed back off again, and didn't see her until the morning.

What I don't get is, how in the world is a 3 year old up at that time of night, complaining about how boring it is in the middle of the night? She is a funny girl, for sure, but this really makes me laugh.

If you really know Ruby well, I am sure you can picture this perfectly. We often don't know what is going on inside the head of that little girl. She always makes us laugh though. 

Easter Surprise: Baby Edition

Great New!!!! Baby is here!!!

Just a quick peek-a-boo before I get back to the hospital. Josephine Deborah MacLean was born last night at 10:02PM. She was 7 pounds 15 ounces. She is perfectly amazing. We though we might be getting a boy, but no way, Jose!! Another girl in the Girl Power Army!! She's beautiful. I wish my other pictures were working out, these are among the very few I was able to successfully get onto the computer. The others went berserk. Mom and baby are both well. I am in a rush, so enjoy the pics. More to come.
