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.

Today is Kate's birthday....her very first birthday, in fact. In a meager attempt to celebrate this big day, we went out to Gloria's Mexican Restaurant with our dear friends Annette and Carl.

When she walked into a room, there was a joy there that drew people to her. She welcomed anyone into her home without hesitation. She was absolutely hilarious, fun to be around, and was not one to take herself too seriously. Her cookies were awful, but her chicken enchiladas were to die for.
