Temple with the Ruiz

 Charlie riding his giraffe.

 No more cast!

 Charlie LOVES baby Darius!

 Pics Whitney took of my kids at the temple. Grace.

 Alice.

 Close-up.

 Charlie.

 Not terribly religious.

 Close-up.

 With a picture Grace drew of the temple.

 Charlie is so not in the mood.

 At the golden doors.

 Thinking about heaven.

 Lizard on our window screen.

 Kids playing out back.

 They love playing with the garden tools.

 Gardening.

 Darius can't tell the difference between me and Whitney.

 At the playground next to our house. Alice and Charlie can see saw together with no adult helping!

 Grace can swing forever and ever.

 Alice just likes to sit there.

 And Charlie has to be pushed.

 On the fast scary slide.

 Right before getting her cast cut off.

 Alice loved playing with Darius.

 Paul was really good with him.

 He was always interested in whatever the girls were doing.

 Charlie woke up in a bad mood from his nap one day.

 Painted mirror on the ceiling.

Charlie and Darius woke up Uncle Adam and got in bed with him.
