An Earthquake??

Ruby woke up this morning around 5:30 a.m.  That's pretty unusal for her, but not completely unheard of.  It was her first full night in a cloth diaper, so I thought maybe that had something to do with it.  We went ahead and woke her up, changed her diaper, gave her a bottle of milk, and started to put her back to sleep.  Unfortunately, she puked ALL of her milk back up all over both of us, and we ended up taking a bath together.  Nothing wakes me up like a shower/bath, so there was no going back to sleep after that.  We continued on with our normal morning routine (breafast, clean up last night's dinner mess, play with toys, nap for Ruby (and for Mommy, too, on this particular day!)).  :)

Well, when I checked my e-mail, I had a message from Mike saying that there had been an earthquake right around the time that Ruby woke up.  Neither of us felt anything, but our friends, Mike and Amy, felt it.  I'm guessing that must have been what woke Ruby up.  Since Mike and I didn't feel anything, I have a couple of theories on why that could be:

1. Our house is so tiny that the whole thing sways together (like the whole earth spins together, so we don't feel the spinning.)

2. I really should have lost the rest of that pregnancy weight before I got pregnant again.  Maybe I'm big enough to anchor our house to the ground in a fashion that keeps us stable!?!?  (I do sleep pretty darn close to the center of our house...  WHO AM I KIDDING???  Any point in our house is pretty darn close to the center of our house!  Roughly 15 feet or less from the center of our house.  LOL!) 

Anyway, that's the exciting news from us!  I'm sure many of our friends and family felt this as well.  The epicenter was actually located in southeast Illinois, and news reports are saying that tremors were felt all the way up to Michigan and all the way down to Florida.

If anyone is interested (and wants to indulge us!), we have added new and recent pictures of the Roo-meister to the photo section of our site.  There are even pictures of Uncle Kyle arriving home from Rio de Janeiro.  We surprised him at the airport to welcome him home! 

We love you all very, very much!
