The Ruggles: May 2010
http://mnmruggles.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 7, 2010. A week of firsts. 1 i defended my thesis on monday, finally! It was extra cool because matt, and my mom came to watch even though their only interest in the research was me. they suffered through it though! Made me feel like a little kid in their school play waving to their family out in the crowd and then glowing when eye contact was made. It was a wonderful feeling. glad i got to share it with some of my fam. I don't feel like it! Go away you skinny workout nazi! Been able to do?

Sunday, April 1, 2012. Sometimes it hits the fan. This weekend is General Conference. For us that means its also work-your-butt-off-in-the-yard-while-blaring-the-broadcast-to-the-entire-neighborhood weekend. I bet we've gained even. Popularity points with the neighbors now. In the meantime, I made this for a friend's baby girl on the way. I. Ts a good thing I've got a boy or I might need a Joann's credit card. Pert I'm still hoping to figure out a way to wear it without. We went to the fair last week wit...

The Ruggles: Days 4-8
http://mnmruggles.blogspot.com/2012/11/days-4-8.html
Thursday, November 8, 2012. How quickly time can get away. I've got some catching up to do! I've thought of these things each day, but went a few days on my phone only so they didn't get posted. The eternal promise of hope. And a big, giddy dog with us but we STILL managed to have fun. I'm thankful for the company and. Day 7 - For the fall weather. I've mentioned it here before, but I love. Waking up to a chilly fall day! Well this fat cow is thankful for you too! November 10, 2012 at 9:38 AM.

The Ruggles: Day 3
http://mnmruggles.blogspot.com/2012/11/day-3.html
Saturday, November 3, 2012. Today, Nov. 3rd, I'm thankful for old friends. Not that age has anything to do with it. Today is my friend Melissa's birthday. We became best friends in first grade and have been through the best of times and the worst of times since then. People used to mistake us for sisters, a fact I still love since all I had were brothers to resemble. Do you know how fun it is to be told you look like your brothers? They're good-looking and all but what girl wants to look like a boy?

The Ruggles: Dependents...
http://mnmruggles.blogspot.com/2012/04/dependents.html
Wednesday, April 25, 2012. Yesterday was marginally better. It ended well at least. But today? Well you be the judge. 5:00am - Mason wakes up crying. We do the "who's turn is it anyway" dance until finally Matt goes in and gives him his pacifier. 5:01am - Matt's back asleep. I am not. 5:27am - Mocha decides she might need to go outside again (for the third time? Matt wakes back up, we both let out "UGH, Mocha, seriously. 6:50am - FINALLY back to sleep! Hour and a half. 7:45am - Text from Carrie beginning...

The Ruggles: March 2012
http://mnmruggles.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 16, 2012. Sunshine on my Shoulders. 1 Mason is still doing great with the elimination diet. The only setbacks we've had are when I unknowingly eat something with soy, like at a restaurant. Did you know a plain, dry baked potato from Red Lobster contains soy? 2 Lately, I've stumbled upon a. New things I can eat. Unfortunately chocolate cake is not one of them. but jell-o is! Out Thanks, turd. I never imagined we'd be the trashy ones on the street, but go us! This year we are determined to fi...

The Ruggles: Time Marches On...
http://mnmruggles.blogspot.com/2012/05/time-marches-on.html
Wednesday, May 2, 2012. Well folks, we've been a family of 3 for HALF of a YEAR now! Yes Mason turned six months old. Yesterday and today I find myself a little saddened by the fact that every day he is now closer to being a 1-year-old than a newborn. So here's a little update of all things Mason. as though that's unusual. He's liking bath time more and more since we stopped using his little chair support thing. He wants to be free to slip and slide around the sink and scare his parents to death! Add to ...

The Ruggles: February 2012
http://mnmruggles.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 23, 2012. Turkey for you and turkey FOR me. Today marks 2 weeks since starting the allergen elimination diet. I wasn't sure I'd ever make it. Ever. But there hasn't been one bit of cheating and it looks like its paying off. I'm thrilled to report that Mason is feeling soooo much better! He still spits up, but its probably not any more than any other baby his age. Most importantly though, the non-stop crying has finally stopped! He didn't seem to care! Like I wasn't in this alone! And s...

The Ruggles: Day 2
http://mnmruggles.blogspot.com/2012/11/day-2.html
Saturday, November 3, 2012. Today (like most days) I'm grateful for the sweet little guy that joined our family a year ago. Mason has brought such meaning and purpose and joy to Matt and me as well as our entire family. It has been one whirlwind of a year, for sure. He was so relaxed, slept "through" the night at about 3 weeks, and loved to snuggle. Can't even do that! The craziest part of all? The fact that we've just barely gotten started on this adventure!

http://mnmruggles.blogspot.com/2012/11/days-9-14.html
Wednesday, November 14, 2012. It was horribly frustrating and it forced me to resort to the "stay in one place until they find you" trick. Day 12 - For lists. Is that dumb? Oh well if it is! I love a good list. and right now I'm loving making lists about what I'll be making for upcoming holidays, be it food, crafts, gifts, or otherwise. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Peanut butter and jelly, cookies and milk, yin and yang, salt and pepper, shovel and pail, needle and thread, matthew and meghan.
