Welcome, Ruby Rey!

FMR Volunteer Coordinator Amy Kilgore and Ruby Rey!

A very special welcome for the latest addition to the FMR family! Volunteer Coordinator Amy Kilgore gave birth to a baby girl, Ruby Rey, on October 13, 2016. Weighing in at 9 pounds 7 ounces and measuring 21 inches long at birth, Ruby Rey has been spending her days snuggling, snoozing and enjoying time with her mom, dad and two canine siblings. She even dressed up as a pumpkin for Halloween.

Amy brought Ruby in for a visit to the office recently and will be gradually returning to work. She'll be back in the office four days a week by mid-January and looks forward to being in touch with FMR's volunteer river stewards for the 2017 habitat restoration season. Congratulations to Amy and Jake and to Ruby we say "Welcome! We're so glad you're here."
