Ruby Red...
A few days ago, Ruby asked me if I thought she was special.. I could have spent hours telling Ruby why she is so special. First and foremost she has a beautiful and special story of how God created her, and chose her to be in our family. She is special because of the joy she has in her heart and the way she expresses it. She is special for the way her smile lights up a room. She is special for gifts that God has given her. Ruby's beauty comes from within, and nothing is more special than that!
Yesterday, this special girl was helping me with something outside. Sienna slipped and fell on the driveway. It was Ruby that sprinted to her before I could, only to fall on the ice too.. Not a tear shed by Ruby.. Only concern in making sure her sister was "ok." You see, in Ruby's four short years she has learned to put others before her.
So, Ruby Mei, if you ever again wonder for even one second if you are special, the answer is yes... Like the beautiful precious stone that shares your name.. You are precious, magical, rare, and so incredible.
I love you Ruby Mei! And, not a day goes by where I do not give thanks for you!

I have a suspicion she learned to put others first by watching her mommy! :)

i can tell just from reading the blog that Ruby has a sensitive, caring & gentle spirit. I have to agree with Laurie and imagine that Ruby's heart comes from you & her big sister! Ainsley sets an excellent example for her little sisters!
Ruby Mei you are special, chosen, love and beautiful!
Love the pictures, Di - what a great backdrop!
I followed your journey to China to get Ruby and It was clear even back then that she was very special.
I have to say that I think special is even an understatement for Miss Ruby! Special yes but so much more!! Sweet,kind,caring,funny,silly,loving,lovely,....you know I could go on and on! We love you Miss Ruby and miss you every day! We miss all of the"R" family -you are all special to us and we are thankful for your friendship! Hope you are staying warm!
Miss you and Love you!
