21 weeks!!

Ruthie on a bear rug...(more below)

Thank goodness for that pacifier! 

Ruthie playing with herself in the mirror

Yay for the summer clothes that her Grandma Lewton just happened to get last week (before we knew we were headed to warmer weather). It was so hot in CA. These outfits were so appropriate for 80 degree weather!

She did not like that she couldn't get these off of herself.

Ruthie all dressed up to meet the vets for dinner in CA!

Sitting in the front seat while Daddy was making a phone call (car parked:)). 

This is what she really thinks about me taking all these photos;).

In Indiana again! Back to her normal car seat...I think she knew!

It didn't take her long to doze off...without a fight even!

On our way back home to NY. Watching one of the DVD's Grandma Cully got her (Veggie Tales).  That DVD player worked like a charm on this trip!

:)

Ruthie enjoys holding her pacifier and trying to put it in her mouth. She has been successful once or twice. It's super cute!

The morning after we got back to Indiana...our tired girl.

Tired yet still happy! 

We paid one last visit to Grandma and Grandpa Cully on our way back to NY. (note: Ruthie loves the remote)

TX sunset!

This is a room at one of the vets' homes...cool, huh? This would be where the bear rug was where I took a picture of Ruth. (Tom loved this room.)

TX
We saw tumbleweeds!! We felt like we were in a movie!

CA! Love that blue sky!

California

I think these were some sort of nut treats...lots of those around the area. 

Yay for sampling! Ruthie enjoyed the ice cream, too!

Strawberry and rootbeer flavored milk!!

Ruthie going down a slide for the first time.

Checking out the geese.

Exploring the park (Ruth still hasn't mastered looking at the camera yet:))

The Sierras!

Go, Buckeyes! :)

This was our first attempt at a family photo...haha! (at least we got her ear)

Better? I guess, but just as funny!

Orange groves...it smelled so good driving up and own this road!!
