Continuing on....We had so many fun birthdays celebrating our precious Ruth. Here she is on her 8th birthday-1990. And below is 1992, Ruth 1o years old! Look at her new little sister Esther who was born that year!
Ruth celebrating her 12th birthday with friends-1994.All the girls 5 months later.
And Ruth making cookies with Esther the fall that she turned 13,1995. That would be the year she got the candy card-the year that started an important tradition! (we have good pictures of Ruth with her candy card, but I didn't come upon them when I searched.)
Ruth also got braces that year.
These next two are Ruth on her 16th birthday. She tried to copy her Mom's 16th birthday picture with the raised eyebrow!
And here we all are the fall that Ruth turned 17-1999. We are harvesting the garden that Ruth dug up and planted on our side lawn. This is the fall that Ruth started PSEO at Bethel College, and the beginning of her senior year of high school. Mom is holding 21-month-old Daniel.
After college started for Ruth, there were several birthdays away in other countries, and then at school in Texas. But we were very happy to have Ruth (and her new fiance!) home with us for her 25th birthday the fall of 2007!
Then the happy day arrived of Ruth and Adam's marriage just 3 months later.
And joy of joys...God blessed us all through a NEW little one, and made our Ruth a beautiful mother!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RUTH!!! YOU ARE A GREAT BLESSING TO US ALL! WE LOVE YOU!!
YOUR FAMILY

I love the pictures of us when we were little, especially of frizzy-headed little Becca. :) These are fun to see again.
