Come one! Come all! The Roaming Ruizes Circus is coming to town!

Jenny & Jairo's circus themed baby shower presents: Vincent the Strongman!

The magic is in the hole!

In honor of our first wedding anniversary we woke up early to get donut holes & coffee in our donut cups. 

May 13th!

We salute moms everywhere! An extra "Happy Mother's Day" to Amanda Ruiz & Lois Hendrick: two incredible women we respect for raising us & not going completely mad in the process.

Cinco de Jairo

Cinco de Jairo celebrates 8 years of Jairo working at Emma.

Fitting that we went to a former Emma co-worker's wedding this afternoon. Congratulations Jake & Erin!

Jake & Jairo.

The wedding reception was at the Berger Building. Mr. Elephant makes a unique guest.

The Goonies Never Say Die!

I took a trip down nostalgia lane this afternoon when I escorted Hugo to The Belcourt to watch The Goonies. I actually got chills at certain parts of the film. Of course it was one of my favorite childhood movies, but the fact that less than a year ago we visited some of the very same places it was filmed created a feeling of slight euphoria.

Mother Earth

We love you Mother Earth.

"E" is for Earth.

In honor of Earth Day Hugo & I read the book "We are Extremely Very Good Recyclers" from the Charlie & Lola series to learn more about respecting the Earth by recycling. This evening we are going to put up our tree poster & every time we recycle an item we add a leaf to our tree. When we have added 100 leaves to the poster we get to buy our own tree & plant it!

Coming soon to a theater near you! Happy Friday the 13th!

Our little Vincent Price is scheduled to make his debut 3 months from now on Friday, July 13th! It should be spine chilling!

See the resemblance:
