Celebrating Ruby Tuesday!
Her Rubiness Now!
& precious Ruby two years ago on Ruby Tuesday...
We journaled about Ruby Tuesday here!
"We go together that's what we do, we go together because you love me and I love You!" (This is a line out of a book that Ruby and I read often. She has it all memorized. When it comes to this last page, I say, "why do we go together?" And, Ruby sweetly and softly says, "because I wuv you and you wuv me..."
Dear Ruby Mei,
It doesn't seem possible that it has been two years since we made that special trip to bring you home. Two years since we saw your beautiful brown eyes for the first time. Two years since we walked in circles telling you we loved you in Chinese. Two years since we held you and loved you for the first time. Two years since we witnessed the miracle of becoming your parents in the most amazing way. To this day, we are humbled by how blessed we have been by answering God's call.
Our hearts have been changed forever because of you! Thank you for being the light that shines daily. You are a constant reminder of God's faithfulness and answered prayers.
"I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him."
~1Samuel 1:27
We love you Ru!
Mommy, Daddy, & Sissy

Hi Di,
Congratulations on this beautiful anniversary!!! I remember this day so very well and I am so glad to see you celebrating it two years later. Ruby is such a joyous blessing.

I, too, started following your journey while you were in China to get Miss Ruby. Looking at the pictures of her on that day, and today.....what a difference in her facial expressions....Her eyes were so sad that day. Now, today? Her eyes just dance. I thank you for letting me follow your life with Miss Ruby!
Hi Dianna,
It's hard to believe it has been 2 years!
Glad to see you are all doing well. Ruby is as beautiful as I remember as is her big sister!
Enjoy this special, special day.

I remember that day as well and it just brings tears to my eyes to see those pics. It hits home as we were in china at the same time. I remember follwing every step of your journey knowing in a few days we would be in china doing the exact same thing. It just love those pics and your letter brings tears to my eyes.
beautiful!!!
