Ruthie

My sister Ruth came to visit at the beginning of September, then spent most of October hopping around the islands with her friend Rachel. She came back and spend most of November and the first week of December with us.

It was so nice to have that much time with her! She really blended in with our family and of course Gabbi and Jacqui loved having Auntie Arugula around!!
