Here are some more assorted pictures of Ruth’s first couple days, introductions to family members and horseplay with the cousins.

November 3 at 5:00 p.m. we went to the hospital and at 11:30, FINALLY, our daughter Ruth Raymond was born. Weighing in at a respectable 6 lbs 14 oz and stretching to 18.5 inches, Ruth has been mostly tuckered out. Kreifels toes, McCoy hair, Kreifels nose, McCoy ears.

Boy are we happy that she’s finally here. And she arrived two days early–probably the McCoy genes. Can’t wait to take her fishing!  Thanks everyone for your prayers and well-wishes.

Toes!

Us Three at the Hospital

How Ruth has been spending her entire first day

Just look at all that dark hair

Yawn, not a yell

Peekaboo!

And here’s Marissa, unknowingly going to work on Ruth’s birthday. What a trooper!

November 5, here we come!

Marissa is on the ball with decorations again

Gotta hand it to her, she won’t let a little thing like generating offspring keep her from keeping the house clean and its decorations up to date.

The Cleveland Show

FAIL. Was not into this idea as soon as I heard about it. Dustin and I spent the entire half hour of this show nervously glancing at each other, questioning why we were continuing to watch it. For two people who LOVE Family Guy as much as we do, it was excruciating. Please Seth MacFarlane — we telling you this as friends, stop the madness, put everything back how it was, and then make light of the debacle on Family Guy.

2 things going for this show that convinced me to try it. 1) On right after the Office. 2) Chevy Freakin’ Chase.

Unlike The Cleveland Show, I watched the pilot of this show last week slightly nervous (would I love it, would I not), but reassured by the funny bits as characters were established and with the distinct feeling that this was a show that was going to grow on me. And sure enough we tried out episode two last night to even more laughs–it has all been worth it just for the last scene in the Spanish class. I’m about one episode away from officially sold.
 
Law and Order(s)
Love them. I will watch them until there are no more, and then I will DVR them until the end of time. Can’t wait for Criminal Intent to come back even if super smart detective DOES leave the show. Jeff Goldblum has been very pleasantly surprising.

Family Guy
Season opener rocked. ‘nuf said. This is one of the best shows on television. The Simpsons will forever have a special place in my heart, but I dare say Family Guy has taken over the #1 spot for me.

Welp, I’m an uncle again, twice over. Way to go Brian and Nicole and prepare to be superspoiled Caleb and Ava! Gotta get those two kids big enough for sliperslides, taco rides, and the occasional toboggan. Let’s keep it rolling Matt and Sarah, ball’s in your court!
