I have been in Ohio for the past week helping my sister Ruth with her new baby, Kendell Grey Buxton. Ohio is my home away from home and my favorite place to visit because I get to see some of my very favorite people in the whole world… Ruth, Kendell, Lily, Meg, my brother Adam, the Beazers, and the Haws. I also get to eat manna from Heaven, ice cream from Graeters. I have enjoyed my stay here so much. I am in awe of Ruth and the kindness she extends to her family and everyone around her, even though she had a baby 10 days ago. I don’t know how many times I heard her offer to babysit someone else’s children and I even heard her offer to take someone else dinner. She is one go-getter and my inspiration in every way. Everyone in Ohio thinks I am Ruth, so maybe I’ll just keep it that way.

I know you had a twin, but I don’t think I have ever seen the two of you together. I love it! It sounds like Ruth is just as sweet as you are. Did you get to leave your girls while you went out to visit? How fun!

Angie, thanks for the heads up. It seems there is a recent bug in Internet Explorer that won’t allow IE users to load our video player. I’ve disabled the video script and will work on a quick fix for it soon. Russ Dixon took our photos.
