Jeans and Hats for 'Her Rubiness!'







One of the things I love about having little girls, is dressing them. Thankfully, Ainsley still lets me help her pick out what she is going to wear to school each day. In her words, she loves "fashion clothes!" So, I do my best to make sure she looks "fashionable" each day! Now helping with her hair is a different story. I am pretty sure a brush will be thrown at the mirror one of these days! What is it about Moms and daughters and hair?
I digress back to the title of this email. Miss Ruby went shopping for shoes with me today in her first pair of jeans. The sweater she is wearing is one of the first things I bought for her when we started the adoption process. That is when they told us to expect a 6-7 month wait for referral and a child around 15 months old.... It's still a little big, but so cute on her!
Well, winter is in the air here in Minnesota today. Ruby got bundled up in her first winter coat and a hat this morning. The hat actually stayed on for five minutes which I thought was pretty good.
We had success getting some Crocs for Ruby today. She is ready for the beach, and so am I!
Hopefully, I will have some fun photos to post of the girls when we return!
Have a great rest of the week everyone!
Blessings from the north! ~Di
Madison Update: She is doing GREAT!!! Moved to her own private room, taking a bottle, and all in all improving daily! I just dropped off a bassinet to Julie because there is a good chance she will be home before I get back from FL. It is simply amazing that this little girl was born two weeks ago today, and that she had major open heart surgery seven days ago!!! Praise God for answered prayers!

Di-

Ruby looks adorable in her jeans! :) But really, I think the previous picture of her in the Mickey shirt and Uggs should be entered into AWAA's photo contest, don't you think? :)

Have a great trip!!! I can't wait to see stellar pictures from your beach trip.

I was going through Lindy's fall/winter clothes today in hopes that it'll soon be cool enough for her to wear them. Lindy had a little top and socks from that same Gymboree line that I purchased while we were waiting, too. Ruby looks sweet in her jeans for sure!

I want to talk soon. I miss you. Safe and relaxing travels...

Di,
I completely agree, it is so much fun to dress girls! Mia says the exact same thing about "Fashion clothes!" Too funny! Have a great trip.

Great sweater -- I think a lot of little girls (including mine) had that sweater purchased for them while their mommies were waiting. I agree about dressing little girls -- it's so fun -- especially after three boys! Have a great vacation.

I agree, nothing more fun than dressing little girls. And you certainly have two cuties to dress!

So happy about Madison, praises of joy!

Have a happy vacation.
