Showered With Love

Showered With Love

On Sunday we enjoyed a belated celebration of Ada’s existence with the Ruprecht side of the family. It was a beautiful fall day and, despite being overly tired, Ada was a champ. She didn’t get fussy or sassy. The only downside was that she really wanted to eat brats and sauerkraut but wasn’t allowed. (Poor thing.)

All-in-all, it was successful. We’re still recovering (on Tuesday) but it was well worth it for a chance to meet the whole family.

Now we just need to get to work teaching Ada how to write thank you notes for her gifts. Goal: get them out by the end of the week. Wish us luck.
