A Photo Shoot with Ruby!
Our baby is turning 4 on Saturday!!!! She has been so patient while she has waited for it to be her turn to celebrate! Today she indulged me with a Mommy/Daughter Photo Shoot! When she is in to it, she is so fun to take pictures of.... It started out rough... I think I walked towards the car twice... But, after some talk about ice cream if she cooperated, her precious smile lit up my camera.
Ruby is blossoming in to such a special little girl! She has been stretched (like her Mama) in the last few months. It has been a hard transition to share her world with Sienna. While there have been some dramatic moments, she has done so well. Her heart has grown by adding a sister to her life. Ruby may be the baby, but she is not a pushover. She can be known as "Little Miss Bossy" around here! A born leader I think is another way to put that!
Jeff and I love to just watch Ruby. She never walks. She seriously skips from here to there. It seems that rarely are both of her feet on the ground. She was born to be an athlete. I asked her which sport I would be watching her at in the Olympics one day. She said, Tennis, Skating, or Soccer... Since she has never done any of these, it will be fun to see where she lands.. Everyone says she has a gymnasts body... Perhaps... All I know is that whatever Ruby decides to do, she will do with enthusiasm!! And, if it involves teammates, she will be the loudest cheerleader on the sidelines!! It is going to be fun to watch Ruby's interests evolve.
Ruby loves to draw me pictures.. She has such a sweet heart. She is the first one to say, "Have a good day", or "have fun!" when we leave her. She loves to help when she can. Right now, she loves helping her Daddy in the garden or me in the kitchen. She is always up for something to do. Sienna has become her buddy, and her side kick which is so fun to watch... Their precious friendship is evolving daily... A very special thing to witness!
Ruby lives life big. I have said before, her highs are high, and her lows are loud! It is not a secret when Ruby is un-happy! We always tell her, God made her so cute for a reason!!
Our little girl does have a few vices in her life.... Her number one love after her family, is her pink blanket! It has traveled great distances with Ruby, and next to Lucy and Sienna it is her BFF! She loves TV, and would watch it all day if she didn't have such a "mean" mom! She likes "smart shows" like "Word World"! But, give her a fix of "Max & Ruby" and she is a happy girl! She loves Princesses, reading stories, learning about Jesus, pretending, going to school, singing, riding her bike or scooter, and playing whatever game Ainsley has come up with!
Ruby does not stop long to ponder things.. She is not moody or sad very often.... She hates being in trouble... She is just loud when she is unhappy. But, it doesn't usually last long... She has such a forgiving heart. And, we have seen her ability to forgive a great deal since Sienna joined her life.... 
Ruby is our silly one! She has a funny giggle, and a smile that makes her eyes twinkle.. She is mischievous too... We got the whole package with Her Rubiness!
Ruby has brought us so much joy... We know that God has special plans for this precious little girl!Happy Birthday Ruby Mei! You are LOVED beyond measure!
Love,
Mommy

Happy Birthday to sweet Ruby Mei!
Oh Di~ You do such a WONDERFUL job of highlighting your children and bringing them to full life. Not just through your GORGEOUS photograpy, but also through your words! Ruby is blessed to have you, as you are to have her! God is GOOD!! <><
I loved how you said that her 'lows are loud'...Khloe is the SAME way! I thought you were describing my daughter when you wrote that. Yet , like Ruby, she has a forgiving heart and moves along rather quickly. She has much love to share and is a michievous bundle of energy. God has truly blessed us both beyond measure! And what a delight it is to see your girls blossoming and growing in friendship and love.
Happy 4th Birthday,
Sweet Princess Ruby Mei!!!! :)
Love and Hugs,
