Water Rocket

A couple weeks after Ruby was born Todd and Ada built a 2 liter-bottle rocket. Ada picked out the colors and designed the base. The bottle started out shooting about 6 feet up into the air but after a few weeks of fine tuning, it got up to about 40 feet.

The neighbor kids had fun helping and watching the initial testing of the rocket. I did not get any more pictures of the launches, but Todd has a video he’ll post on Facebook 🙂

Family Visit

It was wonderful having family here and all the help and support received from them during and after Ruby’s birth. Cindy cared for Ada while we were in the hospital and then a couple days after she left, my parents came to town. They stayed with us for almost 2 weeks. It was so nice having them all here to help with Ruby, chauffeuring us to doctor appointments, and keeping Ada company. My parents were here for my birthday too, which made it extra special this year.
