Today is my baby sister's 24th birthday. She's the official baby of our family - even though we have a brother who is 7, and she has a neice that is 1 - she's still the baby and always will be. Ruthie is a precious one who loves everybody. She is always trying to keep the peace in our family and sees the good in everyone. She is a lot like our mom...not only in personality, but in her mannerisms. She can't dive into a pool to save her life, but ask her to sing the part of Meg or Raoul from Phantom of the Opera, and she'll be there. Ruthie brings fun to every room she enters. Anyone who knows her will probably tell you she is hilarious. She and Troy have an ongoing competition as to who is the funniest in our family. Believe me, I'm right up there with them in hilarity :)....but, Ruthie is by far quicker, and wittier than any of us. She loves on people like no other. She shows the character of Christ daily by giving of herself and her time to other people. She is the best combination of our entire family....rolled into one beautiful girl.
Ruthie was there when my daughter, Kate, was born. She stayed with me several nights nights in the hospital after Kate was born because I was very sick. Kate had to stay in the nursery under the sun-tannin lights because she was jaundiced. Ruthie woke up with me every 3 hours to wheel me down in the wheel-chair to the nursery to feed Kate. She even got to feed her a bottle a couple of times herself. It was so precious. It's one of those moments that you want to wrap up in a little napkin and keep in your pocket for a rainy day. Ruthie loves her neice, Kate, very much and I couldn't ask for a better Aunt Scoot.
We are very fortunate to have a close family and Ruthie is very important part of that. It's fun when your very bestest friends are your sisters and brother.
Happy Birthday, Scoot. I love you very much and can't wait to see you this weekend! Whoo hoo!!
