Celebrating Ruby Tuesday!
One year ago this beautiful tiny blessing joined our family forever!
Some of our favorite photos of Ruby Mei while in China!
One year later, like the meaning of her name she is Precious & Beautiful!
Excerpt from "Journey to Ruby Mei" Video
For one year now we have replayed "Ruby Tuesday" in our minds. We have walked the steps to the elevator in the Nanchang Civil Affairs Building that took us to our daughter. We have anxiously scanned the room for her. We found her in a sea of babies... The only one with barrettes in her hair that said the word, "love." We have experienced the magic of having one of God's children handed to us by a loving nanny who is saying the words "this is your mama" to her. We have walked in circles on that 26th floor repeating the words "I love you" in Chinese to our new child to ease her grief. We have experienced loving someone so unconditionally that it has consumed us. We have traveled thousands of miles together, and we would repeat it again in a heartbeat to have this precious child complete our family. We have been blessed by this journey!
There are so many things to say, but we think the Chinese said it best in this Ancient Proverb:
"An invisible Red Thread connects those that are destined to meet regardless of time or place. The thread may stretch or tangle, but never break."
Ruby Mei, there is no question that you were destined to be our daughter and we were destined to be your family. It has been an amazing year as we have watched you blossom and grow in your trust and amazing love for us. We cherish each day together and the memories that have already been made. We thank God for choosing you for us and us for you!
Happy Ruby Tuesday precious girl! We love you,
Your Mama, Daddy & "A"
P.S: Ruby's Adoption Site has been updated today too.

Destination China - One Year Ago!!
One year ago today, Jeff and I set out for the trip of a life time, with one goal in mind, to bring our Ruby Mei home. Even to this day we get emotional when we think of the blessings that were poured out on us during our journey. As we prepare to celebrate this amazing time for our family it is fitting to give thanks to all of you who supported us along the way. To those of you who prayed for us, who signed our guest book faithfully, who cared for and loved Ainsley while we were away, to AWAA for orchestrating it all, and finally to God for giving us the patience to wait, and for blessing us beyond what we deserve with our little Jiangxi Jewel!
I hope you will check back on May 8th for our One Year Anniversary of "Ruby Tuesday!"
Blessings,
Diana
