Absense Makes a Heart Grow Fonder

Not that it's possible for Ruby to be more fond of her siblings, especially Maddux, but two long stays away has made her miss them a lot.

Last week the big kids went to an overnight camp for the better part of a week. Ruby kept quite busy with her own camp at GiGi's, but was super excited to see them return for the weekend.

Unfortunately, this morning they left again, this time for a full week to see Grandma and Grandpa. We didn't talk about it too much beforehand, but apparently Ruby got it from the little mentions we'd made. They woke up, ate, and played fine, but when Maddux said, "OK, Ruby, I have to go now." Ruby burst into tears and sobbed in Maddux's arms.

She adores her big sister!
