Feb 03	Ruby	Oong Goonggoong & me are marrying again. Because our last marrying didn’t work out fine. If you peek right up there, you’ll see an Oong Goonggoong & me picture. Up in the sky. But you might not.

Feb 19	Ruby	A pirate went to town. He went to a woman place, and the pirate was a woman! And then a buffalo came. Then it scared him away.
Feb 22	Steve	I don’t know what’s better: all this accordion music, or the fact that Ruby is enjoying it as much as I am.

Mar 02	Steve	Mexican folkloric dancing show: was having fun explaining all the dances until they got to the human sacrifice part. “..and the girl walking in the white dress is very special, and um, okay, now this part I don’t agree with…”
Mar 02	Kate	It’s not every day you see virgin sacrifice presented as family entertainment. Eesh. The rest of the folkloric show beat expectations, tho.
Mar 03	Steve	Happy birthday to Ruby! She’s 3 years old today, 3/3. And ’09 is 3 squared! Partay!
Mar 03	Kate	Ruby’s giant (2′ diam) soccer ball birthday pinata defeated our whacking attempts so we resorted to poking maneuvers to get at the candy.
Mar 04	Steve	Returning home from vacation fears, in order: 1. house burned down. 2. house was ransacked. 3. house smells funny. Hurray, we’re 0 for 3!
Mar 05	Steve	Printing out a star chart for the day & hour Ruby was born. Going to cover her walls and ceiling with glow-in-the dark stars.
Mar 05	Steve	It took about two hours to cover Ruby’s ceiling in a masking tape grid. The creator didn’t have to deal with circa-1924 roof lines. Now bed.
Mar 05	Steve	Sprinkling (glow-in-the-dark) stars upon the firmament. Naturally, I’m assigning accurate colors and sizes. This is going to take all night.
Mar 05	Steve	The stars are done! I did about 100, each placed (more or less) accurately for the moment Ruby was born. Hope she likes it! photo photo
Mar 11	Steve	Waiting outside security for my mexico ladies to get off the plane. So excited to see them again!
Mar 12	Steve	Kate and Ruby just brought a tasty batch of popovers in to the office, and Ruby delivered one to each person with max cuteness.
Mar 15	Ruby	Egret, egret, poke poke poke!
Mar 20	Ruby	I was married with Oong Goonggoong. She had ham, and I had eggs. And then, I had them in a basket and Oong Goonggoong had them in a basket, and then we were turning around! And then we were dancing. We let our eggs cook first because we wanted to eat them. And Oong Goonggoong said so, and she put her hand in the pot. And then when our food was all done cooking we ate it! We had some food because we were hungry.
Mar 21	Kate	At breakfast, Steve taught Ruby how to play rock-paper-scissors (w/ a screen to give small hands enough time). She’s addicted!
